Railroad Commission to Compel
T. & p. to Act

! The Opelousas Progressive League
represented by its president Loren
20 Mornhinveg, and the city of Ope-
lousas, represented by the Mayor,
Edward L. Loeb, petitioned the rail-
road commission to compel the Tex
as & Pacific Railroad, the success
sors Of the Opelousas Gulf & N. e.,
to operate a through passenger train
between Crowley and Melville On
the Opelousas branch.
Since the line connecting Crow

regular passenger train has been
discontinued and in its place mix
ed train is being operated.
The Progressive League is of the
opinion that the population along
the Opelousas branch or the Texas

to warrant the T. & P. officials to
operate a daily passenger train De-
Tween Crowley and Melville.
It is expected that as soon as the
