posed new one will not be built as

engines and crews, both OF the engine
and train proper. viii be run through

for other crews as they are now
changing here.
Change viii Be Made.

run for the purpose of taking EN-
ployes of the road who live here to
their work at Mounds and to bring

the men employed there who reside
here viii make an effort to have the
time of one OF the trains leaving here
in the morning changed so that they

have the time of No, l., which gets In
here about I. 20 each evening, changed
to slightly earlier hour SO that their
return may be at reasonable time
