The meeting held last evening under
the auspices of the Board of Trade. to
consider plans by which better railroad
and mail facilities can be obtained for
| Freeland, was well attended, and there
are prospects that the service will be
improved as one Of the results of the
interests of the town. The gathering
was a representative one. The Lehigh
Valley Company had delegation pres
ent. consisting of Station Agent James
McHugh and Division Agent Hernandez.
Both Of these officials are in
sympathy with the object of the meet
ing.
After the purpose was stated by Pres-
dent Williamson, motion made by w.
H. Butz was passed authorizing the ap-
pointmcnt of committee to prepare a
petition praying for the return of the
610 n. m. mail train in particular and
better mail facilities in general. Mcssrs.
| w. II. Butt. A. Oswald and j. C. Berner
were appointed on the committee.
A general discussion on the subject
| followed A. Brueningsen thought the
company would not heed the petition
He favored looking for another railroad.
Dr. f. Schilcher was of the opinion
that President Walter was right from
his standpoint and was justified in try
ing to make the road pay. However,
he believed the petition would have a
good effect il properly signed. He also
favored sending petitions to the post
master-general and the United States
Express Company.
A motion embodying the latter sug-
gestion was made by DR.. Schicher and
| A. Rudewick
Daniel Kline spoke OF the inconvcn-
ience to the Press occasioned by the new
schedule. Many subscribers cannot get
their papers until the Monday after the
date of issue.
| j. C. Berner favored the idea of the
Board of Trade cooperating with the
Hazleton Industrial Association in try
ing to induce the Reading to extend its
road to Hazleton and Freeand.
Postmaster b. +. Davis explained the
present mail schedule. Mails depart at
TAO and 0.33 a. m. and 2.33 and : p. IN.
The second outgoing mail lies at the
Lumber Yard several hours.
Station Agent james McHugh inform
ed the meeting that since Monday morn
ing he has been trying to better the
condition of the mail and passenger
service. He suggested thata a committee
see Division Superintendent Blakslee
This being the first request ever asked
by Freeland people he believed it would
be granted.
| Division Agent Hernandez, of Halle
ton. said the town should have the early
train if it was a convenience. He prom
ised to aid in presenting the matter at
headquarters.
1t was agreed to make an effort to
meet Mr. Blakslee before taking
further action. Mr.. McHugh will try
to arrange for meeting OF the com
mittee and the superintendent at the
Central hotel as soon as possible.
The sentiment of the meeting in re-
gard to local trains was that they would
pay II the fare was reduced to compete
with the trolley line.
