The new train service from Dallas
to Norfolk and return Is unsatisfactory
to people living as far north as Mo.
brara and is working to the injury of
Norfolk business interests, according
to reports which have come to Secre-
tary G.. c. Cow of the Commercial club.
The matter of laying n petition before
the Northwestern officials will prob
ably be taken up by the Commercial
club directors at their regular weekly
meeting tomorrow morning, If there
| are enough present to make a quorum
Mr.. Cow says that people living as far
north as Niobrara. and particularly
those of towns close in, complain be-
cause under the new arrangement it Is
| impossible to come to Norfolk and
transact any business without remain
ing over night. 1t Is argued that if
the train were to arrive here three
hours earlier in the morning, leaving
Dallas at 3 a. m. and getting to Nor
| folk shortly after 9, and return an hour
later, at about 2 p. m, the service
would be of much more benefit to peo-
pie all along the north line and to
Norfolk. Business men believe that
the Northwestern is anxious to please
the public in this regard and that a
petition from the Commercial club
would be accorded serious considera.
