Sunday Train Cut Will Be Protested
Steps were started yesterday to take official action against any plan by the Milwaukee road to cut off the Sunday passenger train through Monroe permanently. Rodney Kittelsen, named by Dr. W. B. Gnagi, president of Monroe chamber of commerce, contacted the public service commission. He was advised that proper procedure called for petitions requesting a hearing before the PSC after Jan. 15, effective date of the train cancellation. It had been indicated that the suspension of the Sunday train east and west was due to coal shortage and ICC restrictions. The Janesville Milwaukee Sunday connections are also being canceled after Jan. 15. The chamber said petitions will be circulated immediately.
