STATION HEARING.
Waynesboro People Complain of
Removal by Norfolk and
Western.

At the request of the Waynesboro
Board of Trade. the petitioner, the
hearing which was to have been given
this morning before the State Corpora
ton Commission in the railway station
case at Basic City against the Norfolk
and Western, has been postponed.
Probably the postponement will be to
October g.
This arises from the recent action
OF the Norfolk and Western in moving
its Basic City station to a point some
distance north of the old site. The
people of waynesboro. which is on the
Chesapeake and Ohio. about three
quarters of mile from Basic, object
to this. Heretofore they have been
able to reach the Basic station easily,
but now they will be forced to cross
the Norfolk and Western twice and the
Chesapeake and Ohio once, two of
these times at grade, in order to
reach the new station. This 1t is
claimed, will put the people of Waynes-
boro to great inconvenience.
One of the contentious is that the
railway had no right to remove a
station established for moro than five
years without the consent of the State
Corporation Commission.
The defendant company will take
the position that the change benefit:
the shippers of Basic.
