This whole trouble has started because
the people of Charlottesville think we are

ready six weeks ago to run cars over that
branch. but we respected the wishes of the
people and did not open the line until Satur-
day. Then IT was done only after we had a
committee of five doctors and a number of
citizens from Greenfield go to Knightstown
and pronounce the conditions safe More
than that, the health officers of Rush and
field raised the quarantine in their respect
