Paullina, Jan. PA petition will
soon be circulated in the northwestern
part of the state, requesting our SEN
ators and representatives to introduce
and work for the passage of bill by
the Thirty third general assembly, to
enact legislation to correct the time
tables of the various railways in Iowa,
relative to running on their schedule
time.
The present practice of the railways
is becoming intolerable in the partic-
uiar of failure to run their passenger
trains on schedule time. The rule is
late, late, from fifteen minutes to sew
eral hours, and the exception Is to
have trains on schedule time. The
thought is to enact such laws that will
hold the railways to be required to
respond in damages in every instance
where damages can be shown, by rea-
son of trains being behind scheduled
time, and failing to make connections
with other trains. thus defeating many
important business transactions.
