This settling has thrown out sendinir vou i of i.himb the north tower supporting tne In the face of figures showing rev enues to be far below operating costs it will probably be difficult to ad vance conclusive, arguments against the proposed train schedule curtail ments, but if Brattleboro business in terests cannot prevent the cutting off of trains tlfey can at least make a de termined effort to secure satisf aetoity service from those that are left. In considering the matter of service as it affects Brattleboro and adjoining towns the first question is that of convenience for the large number of people who make this town their business center. It is of vital inter est to them, as well as to local busi ness concerns, that train service in and out of Brattleboro is so arranged that they can leave home and reach home at convenient hours. The proposed schedule will not be convenient for the many people who come to Brattleboro from the south for the reason that it contemplates no south-bound afternoon train be tween '2 p. m. ami " p. m.. the Boston & Maine proposing to discontinue their ."..K5 train and the Central Ver mont to advance by two hours or so the leaving time of the present 4.10 train. No train schedule should meet with the approval of Brattleboro that does not provide an afternoon train having for the south late enough to give outside shoppes a good part of the afternoon here and yet get them to their homes in Vernon. Snuth Ver non and Northfield. Mass.. by supper time. As to the talk of making Brattle boro the terminus of the Vest River branch instead of South Ijondon derry. it is difficult to see how this can lie done without abandoning the northbound Tate afternoon train, ami such a course of action would raise a storm of protest all along the line. No service on the West River road would be r-onsidered anything like adequate that did not provide a train from South Londonderry to Brattle boro in the morning and a train from Brattleboro to South Iondonderry in the Jute afternoon.
