with us.
Tonight. Tuesday. November 90
cars were running on the go-as-you-
please order and people, who wanted
to do their shopping were compelled
TO stand in the cold forty minutes,
waiting for a car.
The old company disguised us with
promises never fulfilled. Now the new
concern is trying the same gag"
Imagine yourself dumped out at
Hayden's switch at o'clock at night
to allow the car to return to the city
I'm order to make the next trip on time.
The charter calls upon them to run
the cars to the station. ! think the
people so treated have a clear case
for damages.
Come merchants, let us get togeth-
er. Our Republican Legislature meets
that will benefit the people just a
little.
We get reports that the company Is
gradually discharging the old staif of
workmen, the good old reliable hands,
one by one. In order to make places
for their favorteE from other cities.
All this with Christmas only one
