SANTA FE MUST RESTORE
PASSENGER SERVICE

A peremptory order to the Santa
Fe railroad to restore passenger
service on its branch line between
Barnard and Manchester was issued
yesterday by the public utilities
commission. The order is made ef-
fective March 80. The order was
issued following complaints from
the patrons of the branch line. Ser
vice was discontinued the first OF
the year.
The commission contends that
under the law no railroad can dis
continue any class Of regular serv-
ice without the consent of the COM
mission, which was not notified of
this change. This is the reason the
peremptory order was given, In
stead of first holding . hearing on
the matter, 1t was said yesterday at
the office of the commission.
