The state railroad and warehouse
commission met in the town hall at
Robbinsdale Thursday morning to hear
argument OH the Robbinsdale petition
to the opening of Il Great Northern
station i'll the village. Up to about IL
month ago Great Northern locals from
st. Cloud and way used to stop ut
Robbinsdale. 1t was discovered, how
ever, that many passengers from Mill
neapolis bought tickets only to Robins
dale and then got off ut the village and
took the Robbinsd;lle and Camden
Place cars for the city. Although the
financial saving by this scheme was
inconsiderable, it saved time for those
who had business in North Mime
apolis and who did not want to go
down to the union station and then
make the return trip Oh the street
cars. But the practice was costing
the Great Northern money. and so it
refused to stop it's trains ut Robbins
dale, and for month the Robbinsdal
ers have had to come down to Mime
apolis to take their trains aud those
who wish to go to Robbinsdale have
had to do so through Minneapolis.
