the company was not possessed of sufficient
cars at the present time to give the service
asked for. The company was building cars
as rapidly as possible, and within thirty
days would place on the Selby line ten new
cars of the Como interurban pattern, and the
cars now used on the Selby line would be
used to give increased service on the lines
mentioned in the resolutions. He requested
that no action be taken on them, and that a
committee be appointed to investigate the
condition of the union depot loop, as the con-
gestion on the loop caused by the heavy
traffic to and from the wholesale houses was
the reason for irregular service on many lines.

some will receive as much as $75. Probably
not more than fifty will go to Boston, the
others re-enlisting as soon as they receive
their pay and are mustered out. But for the
fifty the railroads are fighting. All the lines
are anxious to take the soldiers back to Bos-

want to make uniform rate that will tempt
the soldiers to ride on their lines

visions, which will enable the several agents
to look carefully after the business of their
respective territories.
