 'The Grand Rapids and Indiana has been remarkably free from even trivial accidents, there having been only ten accidents to passenger trains in the past three years, which could be classed as collisions, or derailments affecting pas- senger trains alone.
 "Counting the total number of passen- gers carried on the Pennsylvania lines east, the Vandalia and Grand Rapids and Indiana railroad, in the past three years, the official records of these conl- panies show that 3S9, 9,47s,s44 passengers were carried; s,s19,251,04 were carried one mile, and out of this, number of people-more than four times the pop ulation of the United States-only one was killed as a result of train accident" | Governors Interested In Corey We are planning governors day at Corey during the National Good Roads convention at the suggestion of J.
