BURKE JOINS IN PROTEST
D. &. r. C Railroad Returns to
Its Daily Passenger
Schedule Today.

The Denver & Rio Grande railroad
| has resumed the former schedule of
daily passenger service to AXE i'm
mediate effect, much to the gratifica-
ton of everyone in Santa Fe, the Es-
pamela Valley and all points tributary
| to the division between Alamosa
and Santa Fe.
Prior to the action taken last Satur-
day by the Chamber of Commerce and
many business men of this city, some
twenty-four hours before President
Cartwright framed his telegram, an
account Of which was published in the
i New Mexican, Postmaster e. C.
Burke mailed the following letter to
NJ. r. Blackwell, at Denver, Chief
clerk of the railroad mail service:
January 5, 1912.
Hon. NJ H. Blackwell, chief. clerk R.
/ NJ. S. Denver, Colo.
My Dear Sir:
! | have just been notified by the
agent of the Denver G. Rio Grande rail-
! road Company that they will discon-
tinue daily service starting with the
7th inst. This notice has created a
storm of protest here from the pa
irons Of this Office and especially the
business element. I understand the
commercial bodies are to take it up
Immediately and an sure that the
people Of Santa Fe will not stand for
service three times weekly over the
ID. G. r. G. line. The First National
. Bank does a great amount of it's busi-
ness through the Espanola Valley, as
does most Of our business houses, and
they will be badly handicapped with
slch service. | wish you would have
this matter taken up at once and see
il We cannot be better taken care of.
: 1t will also handicap the railway pos
tai clerks to the extent of either eli
minating one or compelling each to
: lay over two days at the end of each
run.
Kindly let me have any instructions
at your earliest convenience. Our peo-
= pie will be up in arms by tomorrow
, !or next day and they will be swarm
:, ing in on me for informa ton as to
- what will be done.
y Thanking you for your early consid-
Grafton, | am,
Most respectfully,
(Signed) E. C. BURKE,
Postmaster.
