q. NT. n. R.-FREMONr STATION.

We wish to call attention to the depot and
grounds of the G. & T. r. R. at this station
The books of the company will show that this
is the most profitable point on their road. A
larger amount of business is done, and yet we
have poorer facilities and less accommodation
shown US, than any station between Cleveland
and Toledo. The depot of the company is situ-
ate several rods from Croghan Street the main
street leading TO it. All who wish to go there
are obliged to pass over the cOmpany's proper
ty. Foot passengers have to walk on the track
for number of rods, or else go way around the
woOd-shed, through mud and weeds, where it
is almost impossible foE teams and in fact is, at
times, impassable for the 'busses. Owing to
the great quantity of'rain which has fallen this
summer, the approach to the depot is in as bad
condition as it usually is in the spring. The
'busses can scarcely drag through, as all who
have witnessed can testify. It's absolutely dan
geroUs TO ride through the deep holes The sp-
proach to the freight warehouse, is nearly as bad
How can it be remedied? Would it be heavy
expense TO put the road in proper condition?
1t can easily be remedied and at small ex-
pense to the company. The companys gravel
trains pass through daily, and if they would
leave few loads, and with one or two teams
ten hours,-and that to both depots-and in
such manner that 'twOuld not require another
hours work for at least twelve months. For
the accommodation of foot passengers, walk
needs to be constructed along the east side of
the wood shed. If that were DONE people
would not be obliged to walk ON the track
Now, all have to, and in addition have to pass
through the mud and water at the tank house,
and under the drippings of the water pipe
Then when the platform is reached, it is high
step up, making it very inconvenient for ladies
and children. Ladies must now drag their
dresses through the slOp that is always at the
water tank, except in winter, when it is broad
glare of ice. There are numerous other annoy
ances, that all passing there have experienced.
1t is matter that calls loudly for reform, not
alone for convenience, but for safety.
One day last week as the evening mail train
had Just started from the depot, one of the CYL
inder heads to the locomotive defiance" blew
out and was thrown for considerable distance
along the track. Fortunately the train was go
ing west, and there was no one on the track, but
had it been passing east undoubtedly some one
would have been Injured, perhaps fatally, for
people are always walking down the track af-
ter arrival of trains as necessity cOmpels them
to do so. There is always danger in being in
front of locomotive ust as it starts as the CYL
Inder heads, more frequently then than at other
times, fly out.
The company have a new President We
would suggest that the Mayor be requested to
communicate with him in regard to remedying
the trouble. 1t is matter in which every cit
izen has an interest, and we hope to see some
action taken towards improving it. 1t is to be
hoped that President Newell will at least treat
the petition geNtleDsdnly aud respectfuIy-qual-
tiles that have never been exhibited by the Su-
perlntendent PARAPH.
