Railroad Commissioners Asked to
Have Railroad Company Main
tain a Station at Kingston.

1t seems that since the q. B. & Q. b.
r. mas obtained control of all railroads
in this county they propose to run mat
tiers to suit themselves. In the north
part Of Decatur township the citizens
gave the railroad company $500, built
the stock pens and graded the roadbed
for both the main line and side track
and had aicontract that the railroad com
pany was to maintain station at said
point and it was to be called Kingston.
The station has been maintained until
within the last few weeks, at which time
the railroad company caused the depot,
stock pens and side track to be removed
without the consent of the parties who
gave the money to have it located
where it was or anyone else. This is
considered an outrage, as it will damage
a'great many parties hundreds and some
thousands of dollars and reduces the
value of the land for miles around the
station, and there is great amount of
timber cut near Kingston that becomes
almost worthless if the station ia not
maintained. The citizens of that com.
munlty have their Irish up and feel |
very hard toward the railroad company,
The railroad commissioners have been
asked to compel the railroad company
to replace the depot. side track and
STOCK pens and maintain q station, and
1t is to be hoped they will do so. as it is
beyond all question right that has
been taken from the people without
cause and has been paying station for
the railroad company. There is gen.
er"l idea that the railroad commission.
FRS are owned by the railroad COM
'anles, but it is to be hoped that it vii,
lot prove so in this case, but that they
VIII stand by the people and require the
abroad company to maintain station
IS they should for the good of the gen.
raj public.
