BAR ElARscR aHouLp sroP.

In past years the residents of Nor- ewfch, and especially business men, have been greatly Accommodated by the stopping of the Ear Harbors ex- press in this city on the runs between New York and Bar Harbor and vice versa. It has permitted the leaving of the metropolis at a later hour and the arrival home af or about mid- night, or it has allowed those who wanted to get in full day in the big city to arrive there at reasonable hour for doing business without spending the night before in travel or in hotel.
 With the announcement of the opening of the summer schedule for this train comes word that the ex- press going through the city will not stop in either direction. This is not the first time that such accommoda- tion has been denied the city by the arranged schedule but the railroad has invariably listened to the pro- tests which have been made to it and accommodated the people by stopping and if we are not mistaken additiona' mail facilities have been furnished by this express.
 1 There are just as good reasons, i not better, this year why this service should be made available to this com. munity of 30,000, and the matter O having the Bar Harbor stop in Nor. wich ought to be taken up by botl the civic organizations which arr looking for each and every opportu n;ty to better the city. Judging iron the past it is believed that an appea from these bodies for a brief stop |, take on or let off such passengers a nay be anxious to avail themselves C this service would get respectful at 1 tention and bring about desired re suits.
