No effective date has been indicated, according to Mrs. Roy Burchill, Hibbert Township clerk, who received a copy of the beard's order. The removal of the agent, however, is sub- ject to appointment of a resi- dent caretaker, she said. The station which was estab- lished fer the Buffalo -Lake Hur- on line in 1858, Avill be manned by a resident caretaker to han- dle small shipments, but the -station will no longer be a rail- way "official point." There will be neither station agent .nor telegraph operator. According to Miss Belle Campbell's "Hibbert Review," the first agent at Dublin when the station opened in 1858 was Timothy Carroll;.who later be- came township clerk. His suc- cessor, Ambrose O. Pattison, in 187 received a salary of $32.50 e month, records show.
