The public service commission today
is hearing the appeal by the Thurston
County Railway company, operating a
logging road from Mud Bay to the
Black Hills, from the action of the
Thurston county commissioners which
required them to bring to full stop
all empty trains running from the
north at crossing No. 1 on Olympia
Shelton road, and to operate all load
ed trains from the south no faster
than six miles an hour at that point
The crossing is considered a danger
GUS one but the company asserts that
the commissioners ruling causes it
great inconvenience, says it has clear
ed the brush away so clearer view
of the track is given, and asks to be
permitted to run its trains at the rate
of six miles an hour both ways.
