The st. Johns Republican is of the
opinion that the Grand Trunk cannot
afford to restore the fast train service
Disco tinued this week unless an in
creased passenger rate is granted. In
view of this The suggestion is made
that the local train going east should
be changed to ; p. M, thus connecting
with the fast train at Durand for De-
troit and that late evening train be
added running between Grand Rapids
and Durand to connect with late even
ing trains on the main line. These
changes and the restoration of the early
morning train from Durand to Grand
Rapids would satisfy the residents OF
st. Johns. The same is true of Owosso
