Monday, September 5, 1938. TEN THE DECATUR REVIEW Drive to Save Rutland Road Stirs Interest 400 Mile Line Was on Verge of Being Abandoned This may not be spot news but should be worth while reading to not only railroad folks but to merchants, shippers and the public in general. It concerns the proposed abandonment of a complete railroad of 400 miles, the Rutland, of which most of us a thousand miles away, never had heard. It operates up in Vermont. upper New York state and into Montreal.

income in recent months had fallen below its actual wage and fuel bills and other operating expenses. It tried in every conceivable way to cut expenses but still could not get within its income and counsel for the bondholders was instructed last July to take over the road. More recent plans have been for complete abandonment of the entire road. As a last resort the road officials appealed to Vermonters and others that it was somewhat of a patriotic duty to ship by railroad. Merchants along the road at last became alarmed when it actually appeared they were about to lose a railroad.

"Save Rutland" Drive. Many of the communities would be left without any railroad and wholly dependent on trucks. Many thousands of dollars in taxes would be lost to every taxing body and this deficiency would have to be made up out of pockets of other taxpayers. And so something akin to the old time religious revival was started. Accompanied by fanfare and ballyhoo of parades, speeches, mass meetings and advertisements, citizens have started a "Save the campaign.

One community is raising $15.000 by donations to carry on a campaign to get traffic back to the railroad. Contributions are pouring in and are listed in the daily papers. A parade held in the city of Rutland reminded one of a Fourth of July celebration. Citizens braved a torrential rain to see the American Legion drum corps, the city band. the fire department.

even the city aldermen, parade the streets with banners saying, "Keep the Rutland Rolling." The advertising campaign is one of extent. Beer distributors. for example, carry sizeable advertisements depicting the arrival of a carload of beer and carrying: a banner which reads, "Just received over the Rutland railroad." operators are said to be completely "bowled over" by the campaign and the officials of the railroad are said to be equally bewildered by the turn of events. They feel that the long-cooled love of the public for railroads is now reaching out a helping hand to snatch the roads from death at the hands of the truck lines. Start Instruction Tuesday The annual school of instruction and review of book of rules for all train and engine service employes and others concerned in the operation of trains for the Wabash 9th and 13th districts will start Tuesday in the assembly room at the mechanical office building on East Condit street.

As every one of these rail workers knows the importance of the annual school, all are making arrangements to attend at least one of the classes. Such attendance is compulsory. The school will hold through Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, with classes daily at 8 a. m. and 1 and 7 p.

m. As mentioned before the school this year will not be held for the entire division at one time but will Decatur On The Air WJB 1200 Kilocycles MONDAY EVENING 7:30 Knights of Rhythm. 7:45 Sports News. 7:50 Musical Interlude. 8:00 World Entertains.

While the first announcement some days ago that the Illinois Central would ask to take off its one remaining round trip passenger train between Mattoon and Peoria did not bring out any immediate wave of protest, it appears there will be objections offered by some of the communities along the line. Mattoon officials announced at once that they would protest. Now the town of Delavan, 18 miles beyond Lincoln, is circulating a petition to the Illinois Commerce mission to protest the train's removal. Seek Interest Cut In the detailed program of the Baltimore and Ohio to get its security holders to reduce interest charges, the plan calls for reduction of interest on the first mortgage bonds of the C. I.

and W. railroad which is that branch operating through Decatur. These mortgage bonds amount to $3,675,000 and bear five per cent interest. The plan is to have this interest reduced to three per cent and the additional two per cent to be payable contingent on the earnings. These bonds do not mature until 1965.
