THE delay in delivering the mails and pas
| sengers from the Junction to this village is
again the subject of loud and just complaint.
During the past week the branch train has
| been held at the Junction after the mail
train had passed until that train had reached
Northield and the accommodation train
| had arrived from the latter place-a period
of nearly an hour There was the morning
mail and carload of passengers subjected
to long delay that was entirely unneces
sary and was exceedingly vexatious. The
delay every morning is from fifteen minutes
to half an hour. Travellers are kicking >
| vigorously at this tax on their time and
patience, and business men in this village
protest against this unwarrantable delay o.
their mails. This has time and again beer
the subject of just and reasonable complaint
and this abuse of public rights the Contra
railroad authorities should speedily ant
permanently remedy. Every passenger
train should be taken from the Junction tt
this village with as much expedition as il
observed by trains on the main lines in leav
ing stations. The old "Y" is a relic of
pre-. historic age in railroading. Some othe
means of turning the locomotive should b,
provided, and the time consumed in max
ing the circuit of the saved. The Cen
trail would greatly add to its popularity b,
taking some immediate and effective means
to reduce to the minimum the Inconvenience,
incident to this Junction.
