DELTA MAY SECURE MOTOR
SERVICE TO JUNCTION

It is quite probable that motor car
service will be established between
Delta, Somerset and Grand Junction
in the very near future, If the propos-
ed suggestion OF the Delta business
men is carried out.
General Superintendent Stack and
R. L. Racy. division superintendent
were in Delta yesterday and the
matter was put before them by the
transportation committee OF the Delta
Chamber OF Commerce. While the Of
fiicals would not deny the possibility
of establishing the new service in the
very near future, yet they would not
commit themselves TO II. Mr.. Stack,
however. did state that the railroad
company was building a larger car for
service near Denver to replace the
one now in use and that the present
motor was available for use some
where between Minturn and Salt Lake.
This would indicate willingness on
the part OF the railroad people to look
with favor upon our needs for such a
service. Last week the company had
a motor car on the Western slope
testing out the practibility OF them in
this section.
