For BETTER TRAIN SERVICE. For some time
past the Belfast Board of Trade has been en-
deavoring, by correspondence and personal in
terviews with Maine Central officials, to secure
better train service. Last week petition ad-
dressed to George S. Hobbs, vice president and
manager of the Maine Central, was circulated
by DR.. W. L. West, secretary of the Board of
Trade, Clement W. Wescott, cashier of The
City National Bank and v A. Simmons of the
Belfast Fuel & Hay Co., setting forth present
conditions and asking for train to leave Bel
fast on or about p. M, and one to arrive not
later than a. m. Under the present arrange
ment business men have barely three hours in
the middle of the day, with an hour out of that
for dinner, to attend to their correspondence,
and this has caused loss of orders ond expense
for long distance teephoning. Freight in and
freight out is delayed day under the present
schedule. Waterville or Bangor business
man can leave for Boston after his days bust
ness is over and arrive in that city before
business hours in the morning. Belfast bust
ness men have to lose half days business to
do this, as they are obliged to leave on the 2.2C
p. m. train. People living up the line COM
plain that they have time for shopping in
Belfast and this item alone means much to
Belfast merchants. A mixed passenger and
freight train, carrying the mail, would remedy
this and in view of the increased and steadily
increasing business on the Belfast branch it is
felt that the Maine Central officials should take
favorable action in the matter.
