Road
Is WE'LL HANDLED.
All MilIbury Interested in
Today's Hearing.

Minbury, Dec 29.-The hearing of
Motorman Hiney and Conductor Gal
vim, who figured in The Leicester ac-
cident is the principal topic of con-
versation upon the streets of Millbury
today and many will go to Worcester
tomorrow and try to gain entrance to
the central district court
In Millbury the road is running the
best it has in years, and all the cit
liens unite in saying that Mili5ury has
the most competent set Of motormen
and conductors that there are in the
state. If car fails to run OH a trip
on the Millbury division of the Wor-
cester and Suburban, the employees
are capable of repairing the damaged
part in a few moments so that the
car can proceed to the car barn, where
it is turned in for repairs.
A few days ago a trolley broke on
one of the cars at Sandersville and
the conductor mounted the car and held
it until it arrived at the car barn in
Millbury, where it was repaired.
A Spy man interviewed a local Of
fetal today in regard to the accident
which happened ill Leicester a few
days ago, and he stated that he did
not think the motorman and conduc-
tor were to blame, as it was customary
to steal switches on every road in the
state, and that he rode over a Subur-
ban line recently and that an official
of the road told the motorman to
make as quick time % the city as pos
sible, as he wished TO catch a train
to Boston.
On the Millbury line the employees
run their trips irrespective OF orders
from the patrons Of the road, and all
unite in keeping up the orders as post
ed in the lobby by the assistant SUI
perintendent
A Spy man tried to ascertain from
several employees of the road today
whether they were allowed to steal
switches or not, and all appeared to be
reticent upon the matte2
A few years ago an employee of the
road ran his car into a. car in front
and caused considerable damage tC
the car but not to the passengers
After an investigation, he was prompt.
ly discharged by the superintendent
John B. German. Today the road ac-
commodities the travelling public St
there is no chance for an argument al
this end of the line.
