They buy a ticket to Stratford and there might buy a ticket to the west. Mitchell loses credit for this "long haul" traffic. That explained why ticket sales had dropped from $200 a month to $120 since pas- sengers ,began buying tickets on the !morning train. 'Mr. 03reau said each station gets ,credit for traffic originat- ing there. But the fact is, peo- ple are not using the trains. The number of passengers carried by the morning train lbetween Stratford, and Goderich averag- ed from as low as 2.9 in 'winter months to 3.3 in June per day. J. M. Eckert said he would favor taking off the two day trains and keeping the morning and night trains. A man could go to Toronto, transact his 'busi- ness and return home the same night. iOtherWise he would have to stay iii the city over night. Railway officials said the trains were operating now and are not being used. Mayor Miller of Clinton said people are sick of the slow train service. Some drive toStrat- tfhoiele. ,and take faster trains Speaking of freight the rail- -way men said last year business from ‘Goderioh had been good, this year not so good. Eighty wheat trucks a day are hauling out of tGocierich they said, The trucks are not bound by railway rules and regulations and can undercut prices. (Fitt IJt. Jackson, adjutant- at 'Clinton Radio School, said all their traffic uses the two trains wilich are being left on, and not the night and morning trains. 'Mayor A. E. Robinson of Mit- chell said we are sitting at the side of a dying concern with trains 'being cut off. The Buf- falo and Lake Huron line had been the first to open up this part of 'Western Ontario and it was a shame to destroy it. Poor service has been the downfall of the patronage in this part of the country, he said. The railway men said it was taken away by passengers sup- porting other means, until ser- vice is not warranted. Mr. Craig cited a case where a rate of 20c to +Montreal on package ship- ments had been cut to 12c by trucks, not bound by railway rules. A. vote on a motion by 3. M. Eckert and Reeve Dan -Heuer- man in favor of the morning and night trains carried 11-9, but the railway men pointed out that many of those voting ad- mitted they were themselves not train users. Fred Peel, manager of Sea - forth }Shoes Ltd., said he was content with the proposed change, providing, express ser- vice is maintained. "If the passenger service can't pay, let's forget it," he said, "Why should we pay for the fun of seeing three or four people riding back and forth on trains?" he said, ".Let the rail- way operate where they can make it pay". Railway officials said they had received letters from elect- ed representatives of Dublin and Sebringviile, saying they were agreeable to the change. The Dublin view was they can take an early train home from Tor- onto and drive up from Strat- ford, hours ahead of the local train. 'Mayor Graham of 'Goderich favored retaining the trains. Deputy Reeve James (Don- nelly made an urgent appeal against the change. Outlying districts have a difficult time competing against the cities, and by reducing our potential the railway is reducing its own potential. C. M. Robertson, Goderich, said the railway is playing into the hands of busses. One has to get up at ,5 ,a.m. to take the early train, but can rise at 7 for the bus. No one uses the train except those •who have to. Asked if the decision was final,Mr. Noel said it was the decision of the management af- ter much research. The meeting had been called to place the true fact' of the situation before the municipalities, rather than have them read the notice with- out understanding the reasons for the decision. A. motion was made by Mr. IDonnelly that the meeting is op- posed to the principle of such a decision being anade, without first consulting the municipali- ties. A copy will also be sent to the local members of parlia- ment. At the close, a resolution was also passed recommending a six months' delay in the proposed telephone rate increase.
