.PERE MARQUETTE
OFFICIALS VISITED
BELONG TUESDAY

Bclding shippers and business men
were visited Tuesday morning by Pere
Marquette officials in the interest Of
the increasing passenger rate bill now
pending before the Michigan legisla-
ture. Special Traffic Agent Patriache
who has been closely affiliated with
the road for many years and who
knows the financial condition Of the
road minutely, talked with the local
men in a very sincere and sensible
manner
Mr.. Patriache said that the road
must have an increase IL IL kept up
operations. When asked what was
the worst that could happen to the
Pere Marquette he said: The worst
that could happen would be disintre
CATION II we are forced to operate
under the present conditions very
long such a move will be necessary.
Then instead Of being one system in
the state we would be a host OF little
companies operating individually un-
til the owners could devise some plan
for uniting again.
Il believe that if the Pere Mar
quette were the only road to be con
sidered in the passenger rate fight we
would get what we are asking for.
Our road is a Michigan road. our
system operates in the state almost
wholly and serves n territory that must
be served. our average passenger
carriage is only 35 miles. Much of
our territory is sparsely settled but
the roads are there and must be
operated. To take them up would
kill that part OF the country
"An increase Of one half cent per
mile would mean between six and
seven hundred thousand dollars a
year For every dollar that we re-
ceive now 50 cents must be spent for
operations This does not include in
terest and taxes"
Mr.. Patriache complimented Beld-
ing on the fine spirit that the people
have shown toward the road. At this
point mention was made of the value
of the Pere Marquette To Michigan as
an industry. The road is a local road
employing Michigan labor a manu-
featuring industry seeking site would
be offered a bonus by almost any city.
Yet many a factory does not employ
any more men er pay any more wages
than the Pere Marquette. The service
rendered might be compared in like
manner.
h. l.. McDemid, trainmaster. who
accompanied Mr.. Patriache told of the
efforts being made TO curtail expenses.
Some weeks ago officials of the road
went over the figures and service of
the entire system and recommended
eliminations at every possible point.
When Belding was mentioned the
common opinion was that no elmina-
/ tions should be made The officials
feel that Belding has a splendid lot
of people, who are anxious to CO.
operate to better conditions The ship
pers are at all times very reasonable.
Following the visit here the officials
went to Greenville for a similar meet
| ing OF citizens there.
