Some misundei standing exists as
to what the Legislature did with re
gard to the regulations for heating
the passenger cars of mixed trains.
The old law gave the railroad COM
mission authority to supervise the
heating apparatus of all trains but
mixed trains. The change made at
the recent Session. change sug-
gested by the Vergennes fatalities
was to remove the exception noted
above, so that hereafter the board
will have control OF this matter also.
If no other means can be found than
the use Of stoves, why, stoves must
be used, and the board will have to
approve OF such patterns as best con-
serve the safety of passengers, but it
is not altogether certain that other
means cannot be found. Anyhow,
the question is one that comes within
the proper province of the board of
railroad commissioners, who may be
expected to handle it intelligently,
without demanding impossibilities
of the operating company.-Ran-
