The supreme court has sustained the
"black5oard' law requiring railroads to
note upon blackboards AZ least twenty
minutes before the schedule time of the
arrival OF passenger trains the fact as to
whether such trains are on time, and IL
late. how much. This law is 4 good one.
Many railroads already furnish this in
formation voluntarily. and II saves train
men much trouble, and shields the public
from the inciv.llty Of that rapidly d!sap-
pear.ng class OF officials who, some how
or other, imagine they are directors in
stead OF emDloVes.
