compliance with the railroad com
missions order, issued Nov. 13. re-
quirtng that road to make intermed-
late stops between Waxahachie and
Dallas.
Ihe Trinity and Brazos Valley
railroad, between these points has
a trackage agreement with the Mis-
souri,. Kansas and Texas railway.
using the latter's tracks and by that
agreement, the Trinity and Brazos
Valley was to make no intermediate
stops. The charter of the Trinity and
Brazos Valley provided for the CON
struction of line between these
two points, but the agreement with
the Katy, whereby its tracks were
used, excused the former road from
constructing this line, though it does
not exempt 1t from doing a local
business, and for this reason, the
railroad commission issued its order
requiring the road to make inter
mediate stops.
This order, issued Nov 13, has
not been complied with, and the suit,
instituted today calls for penalties
of $4,000 per day for every day
which the railroad has failed to com
ply with the railroad commission
order.
