an order calling on the railroads of the
state to show cause why the trains are
not stopped at the stations properly.

the trains are always stopped some dis
lance from the waiting rooms and the
passengers are required to walk con-
siderable distance to get to and from
the waiting rooms to the cars, while
the baggage and other articles to be
shipped are right at the station. The
commission says that if the trains are
not stopped properly by February 9th
the commission will take steps TO see
that they are. Marietta is great suf-
ferer in this matter.
