GIVEN TO CAR
PATRONS
Street Railway Co. Says it is
Custom to Put on Half
Hour Service Now.

The Grand Forks Street Railway
company has sent the following COM
munication to the Times in regard to
their change of schedule to the half
hour serV1ce.
To the Editor: The had
printed and circulated. as on January
/. 1872, Il printed time card giving
half hour schedule on the University
and Lincoln Park line, the first car
leaving Third street at $3.50 a. H..
and continuing a regular half hour
service-the last cars leaving the Uni
Nersity and Lincoln park at 11:45 p.
IN. The same schedule on the River
side park n Great Northern depot
lines, and "a twenty minute service on
the East Grand Forks line.
time table was circulated wide
ly and is still used by the patrons
of the company. In Il foot note on
the time table. it was stated that i'm
addition to the half hourly service ON
the different lines. Il fifteen minute
service would be maintained on the
University and Lincoln park line dur
ing seasons of the year when travel
would justify it. This in reality
mean during the season when the
university was in session. and as it
has been the custom to discontinue
such extra service on the closing of
the university, following such custom,
the company did not consider that it
would be necessary to. give formal
notice of such discontinuance. If.
however. a mistake has been made in
this respect we are willing to abide
by the judgment of the public. but
wish to be understood that it is not
intentional on Il part. as in reality
no change has been made from the
printed time table put into effect jan
uarS l of this year, and the public
may be assured that it is the anbi-
ton and wish of the company to ac-
c~ommodate its patrons to the fullest
at all times.
If. as you say in your article,
"sone inadvertcnt statement has been
made by some employee of the COM
pany." such a statement does not rep
resent the intent of the company or
the management of the company in
any manne whatever.
Yours respectfully.

that was that Governor Hadley would

renewing his motion to strike from
