Speciai 10 the Indianapolis Journal
COLUMBUS. Ind. March 2.-Since the
new stop signs along the line of the In
dianapolis. Columbus & Southern Traction
Company have gone into effect the COM
pany is experiencing considerable difficulty
with the passengers. March 1 was the date
set for the new stops to go into effect and
now the cars will not stop at the places
they formerly did. All the cars except one
in the morning and one in the evening are
labeled Through Cars" and passengers
taking these cars can stop only at the
places designated by signs.
1t is the general understanding among
the people on the northern part of the line
that suit will be brought against the COM
pany to compel the cars TO stop. The pa
irons claim that nine of the deeds giving
the owners the right OF way contained pro-
vision which made IL obligatory for the
cars to stop anywhere a person might sig
nal. The officials of the road did not know
that the deeds contained this clause until
a few days ago. and to evade the deeds
they are running two local cars a day.
