Judge Adams further said that ths feeling
ago along tho Milwaukee Division wsa NO great
~ to eutit1o the people living on tho line to
| larger privileges than wero granted to my
other patrons, aome other roadR were much
moro liberal than the Northwestern. One or
two roads had already lnAuguratoL cheap tralns,
arriving tn tho elty ca1iy IN tho morning and
leaving after O'Clock, tho faro being placoa at
q very low rate. II any other roads could AFFORD
these fac!ttios certainly tho Northwestern could
aswoll. Tho Kenoslsa train IN the smofn!ng was &c
crowded ofton ~ to compel many people to stand
up Tile hall. past O'Clock train In tho evening
mas na greatly orowded. It was eyldent thai
other traH ought to ba put on to relieve III
crowd. There ought to hu also trains arriving

IN. for tho accommodation OF ladica. 0the
roads issued l00-side tickets that nere transfasa
Bio which tho NORTHWESTERN du not 40. 6omt
changes ought to be msdo for the couyontenc
Of tho peoplo, aud there was 10 doubt that tho,
would result to tho profit OF The Company.
Col. Ktdder thought tho Co,amlttoo had OYER
