PUBLIC OPINION
RAILRoAD ACCOMMODATIONS

Editor EVENING NEWS:
i trust you will give me a little
space In your valuable paper where
by I may express my sentiments Of
the disgracefuI and rotten service.
and lack OF consideration received
by the city from the railroads. and
hope that this matter may be
brought & the attention OF the
Chamber of Commerce with a view
of having conditions ameliorated.
Although the city has been agitat-
Ing against the railroads for years
trying to secure some kind of decent
service and especially the erection
OF a new station in place of the pres
ent Central station which has been
an eyesore to the city, 1t seems that
it has lever been able 10 impress
the Public Utility Commission very
much to the imperative need Of bet
ter railroad service which a city of
this size is entitled.
1t has been a practice of the Cen
trail Railroad lately to lock up their
station at 10 y. m. after extinguish-
ing all the lights, both inside and
outside and reopening it at midnight
for the theatre train due here at 49,
SIS. This practice has caused much
inconvenience and no end of com
ment from out of town patrons who
attend the theatre here and it often
happens that they + too late o
the IL o'clock car. and so to the sta
ton to wait for the theatre train.
where they find that everything IS
In darkness with doors and windows
locked, and they must wait outside
In the rain and cold until midnight
when it is reopened again. Such dis
graceful conditions do not exist ever
In small country towns and actually
discourage out of town people from
coming TO Perth AmbOy.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1920-11-19

1t seems to me that the people OF
Perth Amboy are directly TO blame
for the inferior service given by all
Public Utilities In this city by their
indifference and failure TO cooper
ate in any move intended to SECURE
better service. These corporations
are well aware of the attitude OF the
people and consequently they feel
that anything is good enough for
Perth Amboy. and arc giving Just
what they think we deserve.
The railroad. trolley a and a
services given here are certainly
nothing to boast of and other munic-
qualities even smaller than Perth
Amboy would not tolerate such con-
ditions.

Out Short 6 Meade.

Only one large real estate deal was
made in this section during the past
week, Jim Murtha buying the Short &
Meade place on the John Day near
the mouth Of Hay creek. This deal
involved approximately 1900 acres of
land, the consideration being in the
neighborhood OF $4,000. A very
small amount Of equipment went
with the place, but no stock at all.
Short & Meade came here from Ia
coma a short time ago and purchased
this place from Earl Weatherford.
They like the country and have no
idea of leaving Eastern Oregon, but
will relocate in this part Of the state.
They sold simply because Mr.. Murtha
wanted the place more than they did.
The land includes considerable al
falfa ground, and is a fine place for
a man in the sheep business. Mr..
Murtha is one of the leading sheep
men in this part of the state, and a
firm believer in the value Of Gillian
county lands.
The p~ostofice for the new loca-
ton of Mr.. Murtha is Mikkalo, but
he will continue to make his home in
Condor, and Jean Blessington will
be the boss OF the new property.
This deal was closed through d.
