Leicester, Nov. 13.-Attendants at st.
Joseph's church, who were forced to
walk home after both masses. Sunday
morning, or wait IS minutes, say they
will walk in future when the weather
is pleasant, whether they can get a car
or not. Students from Cherry Valley
who attend Leicester academy, have to
get out of school before 13O or wait
40 minutes. The school does not let
out till a few minutes past that time,
and the scholars have determined it
is cheaper to walk Calculations made
by parties who know. show saving
of IS or Sc per day to the Worcester

projects talked over by irate passen-
! gers are carried out. Leicester people
who go to Boston often are dissatis-
| fed People who make the trip fig
ure out they will have a wait of 80
minutes in Worcester. no matter what
train they want. Any one who wishes
| to take the 1858 a. m. train out of Wor-
| cester must leave town at $50. arriv-
| ing on 1920 with SS minutes to wait.

/ burban who run cars to McDermott's
