Must Post Notice of The Arrival of Trains.

More work and more hot weather worry for the railway station agents of Indiana. The railway commission has found that they have, in numerous cases, been disregarding the law concerning notices being posted of the arrival of trains, and by the order issued Thursday proposes to see that they obey it hereafter. Burn's Revised Statutes of 1908 (Section 5310) provides that all railway stations shall be equipped with onwhioa the station agents shall post information concerning the arrival and departure of trains at least thirty minutes before due. Information has reached the commission to the effect that in numerous instances agents have left the bulletin boards untouched for days at a time, irrespective of how the trains were running; that many of the boards were worn so that writing on them was illegible and that a general shaking up among the station agents and railroad managers w T as necessary for the com fort and convenience of the traveling public. A penalty is provided for failure to observe the law concerning the bulletin board, and this fact is emphatically brought to the attention of the agents as well as the railroad companies in the order from the commission. The companies are ordered to make an inspection of the bulletin boards on their routes and to see to it that they are kept in good condition, but that they are made to convey accurate information to patrons of the roads
