COMPLAINT ABOUT DELAY.
Under the head of reports of standing
J committees Mr.. 5. w. Trayers laid before
, the Board the report of Mr.. l.. G.. Younger
relating to the complaint OF the Powers ~
TAYLOR Drug Company as TO the delay OF
receiving goods at the Richmond and Dan
vile depot, accompanied by letter from
. Mr.. Sol Haas, traffic manager Of the Rich
mOnd and Danyille railroad. From these
papers il appears that much OF this delay IS
owing TO the fact that merchants generally
q. delay their shipments till a late hour Of the
, day, Mr.. Haas claiming that as much as
/ eighty per cent. OF the outgoing freight is
shipped about i. NJ, and that the rail-
road authorities were doing all that they
possibly could TO dispatch the business:
, Mr.. Edgar ID. Taylor informed the Board
that there had been an improvement in the
matter complained of.
MIR. Trayers also submitted correspond
ence between Mr. X. ID. Carpenter and him.
self in reference to complaint OF Messrs.
Watkins & Davenport about the delay of
shipments to points on the Atlantic and
Danvile railroad. AS Mr.. Carpenter
claimed that everything was being done by
him that could be done 10 expedite these
shipments, il was suggested TO the chair
man of the Inland Trade Committee that
the general manager Of the Atlantic and
Danyille railroad should be communicated
with to secure the cooperation Of the Oh
ficials of that road, complaints being very
general and the trade being an important
one TO Richmond.
