suited In his death. II came out at the

discontinuance Of station facilities which
Will be OF general interest. as follows:
A railroad Is chartered and operated to
serve the public along its line with
passenger and freight facilities Such
facilities include the provision and
maintenance Of stations and by agents to
conduct properly the business Of the com
pany with It's patrons. II does not follow
that every passenger. freight or mixed
train or that every station must pay
separate profit, Something must be con-
tributed from the general earnings to
the provision Of service designed TO meet
reasonable requirements OF the public in
smaller localities. The traffic as a whole,
gathered from all sources and carried by
all trains to and from small, a. we'll as
large stations and connecting lines IS
what constitutes the carriers business.
The hrst duty Of new operating rail-
ROAD carrier liz to establish stations at
such distances apart and with such re-
ference to existing communities a. will
best serve the territory through which
the road runs. and II must thereafter
be prepared to transact It's business as a
carrier Mt all points on Its line. The non
agency station Is exceptional and IA gem
's occasional or Of very little public con-
sequence. The agency station Is required
for local and through ticketing and
through baggage checking. freight billing,
collection NJ freight charges. the care

and delivery tho supply OF cars and tho
general conduct Of the company's local

withdrawn gradually falls into disuse.
No moro effective way can be devised 70

lapFo Of struggling community.
POOR BUSINESS POLICY.
The practice Of station abandon
ment solely because Of small existing
revenue returns is poor business pol
ic" for the carrier itself. The rail
road Ia the most potent factor in the
development Of sparsely settled local
tiles, and such development returns
- tho railroad an Increase Of bust
ness. This holds good in all sections
Of tho land. To practically withdra W
that powerful element OF commercial
progress and create tendency to-
ward retrogression, or actually pro-
ducc that undesirable condition where
the tendency already exists. The i'm
portance of maintaining usual rail-
road station facilities in present rela-
Ttively sparselv settled sections OF
country as long as public demand re
mains In any substantial degree is
manifestly in the interest of the car
rler as we'll rs the community. Dis
continuance of these facilities Is JUS
titled only under most exceptional
conditions which demonstrate not
merely insignificant returns to tho
railroad. but such continuous lack OF
public demand as to render future
provision of usual station facilities
| plainly unnecessary
