At a meeting of the board of

Mr. Paterson has been associated

The Village 'Board at its meetUis

granting an increase in Jarcs

condition that substantial improve-ments
be made in the service given
by the road.
This action was taken when

the "transportation committee, re-ported
that the committee after
making a study of the matter now
before the Public Service Commis-sion,
-had gone on record as dis-approving
of any Increase in rail-road
affairs.
After some discussion among the
Board members and 'Mr. Baker.
it was agreed that if fcne railroad
gave improved service, It might be
necessary to grant something of a
ifare increase. Mr. Baker agreed
