hour. The first call was at $40 for
fire at the home of Thomas Gagnon

the home Of Harry Peddar at 40

Recognizing a Necessity

Ralph Budd, president of the Great Northern Rail!
way company, has stated fairly in recent address
proper policy Of railroads toward busses and
trucks. He finds that the public approves of trucks
and busses but inasmuch Is per cent of the rail
road business is interstate. the truck and bus bust
ness WILL for some time to come at least be local
problem
"The railroads." said Mr.. Budd, must recognize
that public necessity and convenience require the
development Of transportation upon the highways.
that they should not attempt by arbitrary means to
eliminate motor vehicle competition, and should only
insist that such competition be subject to proper
public control.
People in the country can hardly use the railroad
for travel between neghboring stations because in
proportion to the whole journey, the trips to ana
from stations great. Not so with the bus.
II gives continuous service all along the highway,
while the railroad gives it only points four six
miles apart
There is nothing in the records of truck trans
portation indicate that trucks are or can be con-
tenders fer any railway freight except where the
convenience of direct doortodoor delivery together
with the saving Of terminal trucking and handling,
outweigh the extra ton-me cost of railway line
haul"
