GIVE US A TUNNEL


Since the railroad Company solely for
It's own convenience that is might run
trains both ways at once thronghthe town,
placed that fence between the two tracks,
travel conditions at this station have be-
come simply intolsrable. Il Is almost q
daily occurrence that travellers going
South are forced 70 miss their trains BY
reason OF freight train obstructing she
passage.
Then passengers arriving are forced to
await the passage Of the train before cros-
sing the track 20 get TO their homes. The
other day number Of persons were forced
70 wait 10 minutes alter their q rival un-
ill long freight train had gotten away
before they cou enter the town.
Had the weather chanced to he severe
or inclpment aud their number large, as
OF il often is, even tie narrow waiting
sht d would not have been large ennnglI 10
shield them from the elements.
Theu too anyone having business in the
freight depot must either climb over the
fence or walk long distance around t.,
on the BALLAST sinnes aud ties
When tunnel underneath the tracks.

officials use the IiOble that such
tunnel would be Ion damp aud 50 could

answer recently.

A waiting shed ON the South tFpek expos
ed to ell weatheTs; want OF proper accom-
daIions for the travelling public such as

these and other nuisances have been borne

True your ,urnal and few indignant

But now the railroad Company is adj
ing new discnmfnrts in the detention ol
passengers arriving and in causing others
TO miss their trains by obstructinS their
way to the South track.
A tunnel is need d to remedy botlr
