An important hearing was held
here Friday forenoon covering pc
Rod Of considerable time relative to
whether a change in the local train
service schedule would be feasible
or not General Manager E. c. Doug
lass, Of the Maine Central. and other
railroad officials were present. Mr..
Douglass virtually presiding over
the session. There W. a good at
tendance Of business men. The
main object Of contention was rel
alive to the arrival OF the mixed
passenger, freight and mail train,
which IL now due in Skowhegan at
o'clock in the morning. While this
has its advantage for mail and pas
sengers il is net so advantageous TO
the market men las 1t does not con-
meet with freight Eom Boston. AS
a result, the freights perishable or
otherwise have to lay over in Wa
terville "a hours.
The plan on the part Of the mar
ketmen advanced by Arthur X.
Jewett was to have a mail and pas
senger train arrive in Skowhegan at
o'clock in the morning or there
abouts and then have the mixed
train come at a later hour. doing
away with the present IL O'Clock
train and having n later train out IN
che evening. Manager Douglass
could not see the mail and passen-
ger train in at o'clock as feasible.
because it would not be train that
would connect with either east or
mast hound nj WatorVille.
S. w. Philbrick mentioned the in
convenient arrangement in order for
a time last winter when the mixed
train arrived from $50 to. 10 o'clock
A. NJ, and the lack Of time 1t gave
the local business concerns to re-
ply to the morning mail. when
changed TO s o'clock he maintained 1t
was satisfactory for mail but not
for the grocers.
w. II. Cummings, agent for the
American Wooden Co. referred to
the necessity Of getting the mail
early into Skowhegan in order to
have time to make the necessary re-
plies.
The matter Of an s o'clock train
out in the evening was suggested and
advanced by c. Il. Hight of the post
office force and while it was great
" TO be desired, that could not De
put into operation according to the
general manager under present con-
ditions the pleas Of train service re-
duction because Of fuel consumption
and lack OF help being important
ones Of the meeting.
Mr.. Douglass did suggest and rath-
err favor the plan of having the first
