WANT SCHEDULE
AS At PRESENT
Patrons Along West River
Railroad Oppose Pro
posed Change
WOULD AFFECT
MORNING MAIL
General Passenger Agent Seeks Senti-
ment of People as to Starting Train
from South Londonderry at 1890
Il. IN. Instead of $50.


Station agents along the line of the
West River railroad from Brattleboro to
South Londonderry, inclusive, have been
asked by General Freight and Passenger
Agent J. w. Hanley of the Central Yer
mont system at st. Adams to ascertain
the sentiment of persons in the West
River valley regarding a new train sched-
ule which has been prepared but which
mas not been promulgated.
The principal change would be to start
the morning passenger train out of South
Londonderry at 1870 o'clock instead of
at 6.30 as now. reaching here at 12.35
p. IN. instead of $50 a. IN. The senti-
ment IN South Londonderry is decidedly
against the proposed change, and
throughout the valley the preference is
for maintaining the present schedule.
In the inquiry of the station agents
the lack of patronage of the morning
passenger train south was given as the
reason for contemplating a change, but
patrons OF the road failed to see where
in the change would increase the patran-
age. While 6.3O is a little early to
start from South Londonderry. the early
start gives people coming to Brattleboro
longer time in which to do business
here, and to start four hours later than
at present as proposed would shut out
the pupils who come here from West
River valley towns to attend school
Another objection which patrons make
| is that mail for. distant points on the
/ train leaving South Londonderry at
1870 would miss connections at Brat
tleboro, while mail destined for Brattle-
! boro would not arrive in time to be an
SWered the same day unless il was given
prompt attention.
Jnder the present arrangement a pas
Senger train leaves South Londonderry
at $50 a. m, arriving here at S35.
/ The crew goes back with the mixed
! train at 1905, reaching South London
! derry at 80 p m. Aaother crew
starts with a mixed train from South
! Londonderry at 11.30 a. m. arriving
I here at 4 o'clock and returns with the
| passenger train at 6.1O reaching South
! Londonderry at $50 in the evening.
/ This leaves both crews in South London
derry over night.
| The new plan would have one crew
in Brattleboro over night This crew
/ would leave here with the mixed train
at . n. M, reaching South Londonderry
| at 1.3O p. IN. The same crew would
| leave South Londonderry at . o'clock
| with the mixed train, arriving here at
$50. The crew at South Londonderry
oyer night would leave there with a
passenger train at 1880. arriving
! here at 12.3J, and would leave Brattle-
boro with the passenger train at $50,

having a lot of trouble trying to gel
the information. Nobody in st. Pc

Der of Congress, it was assumed that
Mr.. Drane would know all about who
was who and what he represented.
; But Mr.. Drane did not even know
what party was represented by two
OF his opponents who are candidates
for Congress in this district. He
knew who was the Republican nomi-
rec but that was as far as he could
go. In the senatorial contest Mr..
Drane knew the Republican opposing
Senator Fletcher but did not know
what parties the other two candidates
represent and said he had never even
heard of them
Such is fame. A man is candidate
