Preparing to Move
The DSS&A management has just taken a step that Marquette citizens cannot help but view in the most optimistic light. It is nothing else that that the genreal office of the company will be moved bag and baggage from their present quarters in the old rookery ycliped a depot, and that in the near future too. The whole second floor of the Opera House block has been leased to the railroad company and the removal will be effected as soon as the rooms are put in order.
To the reporter's question, "Is the removal to be taken as indicative of the building of a new depot?" General Manager Fitch answered, "No sir, we move simply because we must find more comfortable quarters. This place is decidely uncomfortable."
Yet every man's face brightens when the news is communicated to him because he intuitively interprets it as a step toward the building of a new depot.
The present management of the DSS&A is of a thoroughing character and if it undertakes to construct a new depot, 'though perhaps not his year, it may be dependend upon that the edifice will be worthy of our beautiful city and a credit to the enterprising corporation.
