by a reporter, and makes the following state
ment: " In anticipation of the rendering of
the present decision, the service of the road
has been greatly reduced of late. In the
shops the workmen now employed putin but
nine hours each day. and work five days in
the week. Those now employed are retained
to do such repairing as is absolutely neces-
sary. We are not putting up any Lew rolling
stock, and are making no improvements, and
will not do so until our position is
better defined by the Supreme Court
of the United States. We will also
be obliged to reduce the num-
Der of trains, and their speed, in proportion
to the reduction in rates. This action is not
taken in spirit of opposition, or to punish
anybody, but simply to make the earnings of
the line cover the running expenses. This
decision will put an end to all improvements
and stop the building of any more roads inthe
State, for long period at least. Should the
decision be sustained by the United States
Supreme Court it is possible that all the roads
in the State will be operated to some extent
but it would not be like the operation of live
property, with some hopes of returns, as has
been in the case in the past"
