65th YEAR - NUMBER 18
Station at
Zurich May be
Discontinued
On April 8, the Great Northern
Railway Company filed with the
Montana Board of Railrod Com
missioners an application for au
thority to discontinue present ag
ency service at its station at Zu
rich.
The application alleged that tra
ffc to and from the Zurich station
is primarily carload business and
as such does not require the ser
vices of an agent at the site.
The Great Northern preposes to
handle traffic at Zurich through
other facilities, and says that this
can be accomodated satisfactor
ily without undue inconvenience
to the public.
Evidence presented by the rail
road in connection with its appli
cation shows that revenue asigned
to the Zurich Agency for the years
1957. 1958 and 1959 has resulted in
a net loss to the company.
A public hearing in connection
with the matter will be held on
June 1, al 10 a.m. in the Great
Northern Railway depot in Zurich.
Any person, firm, corporation or
association having an interest in
the matter may appear at that
time and offer evidence.
