The people OF the Galva branch OF
the Burlington Route want new
train to arrive in Burlington before
noon and return in the evening. This
train would leave the main line at
Galva, reaching Aledo about 9 o'clock
in the morning. It would not only give
the people of that branch a chance to
get out in the morning and come to
Burlington. but would give desired
connections with other branches. This
new service would also benefit Bur-
Iington merchants and will have the
support of the Commercial Exchange
of that city. 1t is understood that the
Burlington Route officials look with
favor on the request and do not think
it unreasonable.
