Final hearing set on R.R. case for March twenty first
Ward reported to the Interstate Commerce Commission in Washington regarding the Coal Railway abandonment request.

The road’s future remains unsettled, with possible options including independent operation or backing by major lines, while local calls for work and odd notices conclude the item.
