Among other service details the petitioning company suggests operating a lino of buses so as to connect with all Wabash passenger which stop at Tolono, thus making a. common carrier between Champaign and Wabash main line. Wabash management is not opposing the petitioners. Nor is there any statement that the railroad company is supporting the petition.

Passenger travel in and out of Champaign via Wabash trains long ago came to be a negligible quantity, for trie last two years only a mixed train service has been operated between Sidney and Champaign. It there is a high class bus service between Champaign and Tolono it la probable that there would be a small increase in the volume of passenger travel via the Wabash line to Champaign. That would leave the mixed train service between Sidney and Champaign for those who were compelled to travel that way. There would be no decrease in the travel facilities now offered by Wabash trains; on the contrary there would be greater facilities. Illinl Parlor Coach Co, now operates a line of buses between Champaign and Bioomington, ARBITRATORS NAMED J.
