VI Ill ASK FOR
BETTER SERVICE
Wilder Ready to Press
Counter Claims At
Hearing.

Taking advantage of the public
utilities commission hearing on the
Oregon Short Lines application for
reduced train service on the Wilder
branch, plans are being made to press
at the same hearing other and equally
important matters to the shippers of
that district, John Plowhead, men,
Der of the Caldwell Commercial club
traffic committee told the club men,
bers Tuesday evening. The hearing
is set for April at Wilder.
According to Mr.. Plowhead, the
lack of traffic on the Wilder branch
is not just the simple matter of mo
business" On the contrary, Mr..
Plowhead believes that business from
that district does exist for the rail-
road company if it were equipped to
handle the trade. Lack of loading
facilities and sidings has been detri-
mental, both at Wilder and smaller
sations this side of Wilder.
When the railroad presents its ar
guments for reducing train service on
that branch, the public will present
counter petitions to the state commits
sion for application of traffic handl-
ing provisions, according to Mr.. Plow-
head. That lack of equipment and
facilities has cut into the business
handled by that feeder line was i'm
planted in his audiences mind when
Mr.. Plowhead asserted that potato
producers of the Wilder section fire.
quently hauled their stuff to Parma to
load. Demurrage charges have been
paid by Wilder residents for cars that
were in Caldwell yards simply because
Wilder has not adequate side trackings
to handle the cars in crop moving sea-
son, Mr.. Plowhead asserted.
A recent decision by the interstate
commerce commission placed Wilder
on par with main line points, the
railroad company having to absorb
differentials after April l. Mr.. Pillow.
head expressed the belief that pre-
senting the matter to the state COM
mission would result in a similar ord
