Baltimore, Mu-s oept. D. ASAA-
Editors evening Capital, Annapolis,
Md:
Gentlemen :--Au analysis of the
"Short Lines New Schedule" pub
lished in your repertorial columns of
September 2Sth, indicates that the
public have forty-five minutes more
to catch the 10 Z. m. train and ten
minutes more to catch the 11.35 p.
m. train from each cad of the line
than heretofore. Except as to the
latter train, this is a doubtful inn
provement. On the other hand they
take off twelve trains daily between
these cities.
The article, therefore. gives, a
very erroneous impression in that.
the public, as usual suffer- and do not
gain by the change as it would APP
pear. One of the delights of travel
ing on this road mas been its uniform
schedule from each end or the line,
and the readiness with which it was
kept in mind, having been ha,f
hourly service both ways between 6
a. m. and p. m. and then at z, 8, 9,
10 and 1135. This has been a great
convenience to the travelling public
and. in my judgment, brought the
road much usiness--certainly it
brought it mine. That OF which we
have had to complain, viz: inadequate
accommodations at rush hours, has
not been remedied but rather in
creased by the fact that those who
have heretofore travelled on the
twelve trains, now taken off, must of
necessity, travel on the trains remain
ing, and thereby more greatly over
crowd them.
The former management, which
established the Did schedule, seemed
to have had the pubIic's interest at
heart. The present management APP
pears to have been employed to rea-
lie every cent possible on his invest
ment, found necessary by the fact
that the stock is so heavily watered
the holders of it's securities can only
be adequately remunerated at the ex-
pense of the travelling public. One
can hardly blame the manager for
faithfully serving his employer, but
the management should realize thac it
ID a NtAS oAoA POiANg " nave
such contemptuous disregard of it's
patrons. Everyone will lament this
change of schedule and / stongly
suspect the diversion of travel to the
competing road will restore the old
schedule, for the difference in time
of travel between the two roads in
practice is more theoretical than
actual, and the primary reason for
travel on the "Short Line" between
the terminal having been dode away
with, it is but natural that the other
road will profit.
Eliminating twelve trains a day
does not seem TO me the logical way
Of handling their growing business"
The article speaks in an abstract
way of adding trains.' Will the
manager kindly indicate specifically
what trains he has 'added?" Sub
traction rather than addition seems
to have been their object and accom-.
plishment.
Yours very truly,
GEORGE FORBES.
