PROTEST AGAINST
DISCONTINUINC IRON
HILL STATION
Delegation Appears Before
Maryland Public Service
Board

A delegation of residents Of Iron
Hill section went to Baltimore Friday
to appear before the Public Service
Commission of Maryland to protest
against the discontinuance of Iron
Hill Station. The P. B. and w. Rail-
road some time ago decided, on the
grounds that Iron Hill station had
not enough business to warrant it's
upkeep, to discontinue it as an agency
station.
1t was represented that it did a
business of about $4,000 a year. But
upon investigation, the committee
found that milk freight and several
other items were not included in this
estimate.
Supervising Agent Roe and Rail-
road Attorney Carter represented the
Railroad interests. William Walton,
Edward Walton, and William P. Leal
protested against the Railroad action
in behalf of the people of Iron Hill.
The Railroad people admitted that
everything had not been considered in
their estimate. The Public Service
Commission withheld their decision.
