car is finished in stainless steel and
provides ample roominess and
comfort for the passengers. The
engine compartment is fully sound-

provided to 'give the car very ra-
pid acceleration as it leaves each
station along the Way. He said
the car could attain a speed of 60
miles per hour in 500 feet from a
standing position. Purpose of the
high rate of acceleration, of course,
is to cut schedules and 'shorten the

Mayor R. E. McKinney said that
the fight to aetain passenger ser-
vice here has been going on for a
long time and he felt that the rail-
way is snaking a definite attempt
to meet our requirements. He said
that passenger service is very im-
portant to the towns in this area,
Since our opportunities to obtain
new industry are affected, The
mayor also said that bus service
has proven to be anything but re-
liable becanse It is so sharply con-
trolled by'the weather, .
Gordon Buchanan of, 0, Lloyd &
