   BY THE COMMISSION.

Whereas, in 1955 this commission entered its order requiring the trustees of the Florida East Coast Railway to construct a new passenger station in the city of Miami at its Buena Vista Yards; and

Whereas, said order has been approved by the Interstate Commerce Commission, the United States District Court, and the new owners of the Florida East Coast Railway Company; and

Whereas, the construction of said new passenger station, as required by order of this commission, has been made a part of the plan of reorganization of said Florida East Coast Railway, and is now an obligation of said railway company; and

____Whereas, the new and present owners of said Florida East Coast Railway Company have had possession of said railroad properties for more than one year; and

Now, therefore, in consideration thereof, it is ordered that the Florida East Coast Railway Company he and it is hereby directed to file with this commission on, or before, Friday, May 25, 1962, a full and complete report on the progress it has made in the construction of said new passenger station.
