holds that the board has full power

careful consideration of the statute

ton is. "a place where railroad
trains regularly come to stand for
the convenience of passengers, etc.,
is in contemplation Of the law rail

reasonable and expedient in order to
promote the security, convenience
and accommodation of the public"
