Lane declared II would never he nee
essary for the commission to issue a

There are no possible grounds on
which a logical appeal can be based,
and this fact is known to the rail-
roads," said MIR. Lane. Representa-
tive Eastern and Western roads have
already given informal notice that
they will comply with the decisions,
and there is no doubt In my mind that
all the others will follow suit. 1t Is
a good thing for ALI parties. too. An
attempt to appeal would only cause

WON 7 CHANGE WEST
POINT SCHEDULE

No extra morning train to West
Point is deemed practicable at this
time, Is the opinion OF the State Cor
poration Commission expressed in an
Informal hearing Thursday morning.
Patrons OF the West Point division
of the Southern Railway Co., appealed
to the commission to compel the COM
pany to put on an extra passenger
train. A few months ago the com-
pany changed its schedule and the
train THAI formerly left Richmond ~
4:30 A. NJ. was changed to a. NJ.
Objection TO the change was raised
on the ground that the rural route mail
carriers would be delayed or the people
authorities stated that IL the schedule
in West Point on time, there would be
les.
The railroad company claims that the
patrons of the train are greatly pleased
at the change of leaving time and that
the business of the train had Increased.
The Southern Railway Company or
ficers also stated that two trains In tha
morning could not be run without
great los to the company.
The commission took this view OF the
situation and although the leaving to-
day was informal the opinion IL like
In TO stand. Those who arg se0iesnH
for change in the schedule or an
additional train can ask the commits
sion for an official hearing which would
be granted.

cester has been active I'm his enorsS
