met Friday evening in the Municipal
court room to consult in the matter
of a change in the morning train
schedule. Mr.. A. r. JeWett spoke in
behalf of the marketmen and grocers,
stating that it was impossible to de-
pend upon periShable express leav-
ing Boston at night to reach Skowhc-
gan in the morning.. The connection
between train II. or the train arriv-
ing here at s o'clock and train AZ, up
on which Skowhegan express arrives
at Waterville, is SO close that this eX-
press does not reach here to be de-
livered before afternoon. To remedy
this it would be necessary for u later
leaving time for train II. and, while
this would be feasible. it was the
opinion Of many that this might mean
a later arrival at Skowhegan and
therefore n later mail delivery.
The matter Of an evening train
leaving Skowhegan around six or
seven o'clock was then taken up and
discussed This movement met with
universal favor because of the many
advantages to be derived by the
greatest number of people. 1t was
finally voted that the Secretary be
