MONON OFFICIALS SUGGEST TWO PLANS

In Meeting With Lafayette Committee They Promise to Change the Schedule Time of Milk Train. Monon railroad officials met ia conference with members of the transportation committee of the Lafayette Chamber of Commerce in that city Monday evening. The committee asked the officials to make some changes in the schedule of trains. Recently when the Monon installed its new train schedule the milk train was set an hour later than before and a train that ran between Lafayette and Monon, making connections at the latter place with No. 32 was abandoned. Serious inconvenience to the traveling public has ensued and the committee asked that the milk train be restored to its original time and the other train reinstated. The'Munon submitted two propositions. One is to restore the milk train to its old schedule and not supply an additional trap, and the other is to start a train out of Lafayette at 9 o’clock to meet the train from Indianapclis at Monon, the coach being switched to the Chicago train. If this is done the milk train" out of Lafayette would be abandoned and would hereafter start from Monon, making the trip between Monon and Chicago daily. This would be done in order to satisfy the demand for earlier service'north of Monon. ' The Lafayette people were left to elect which service they would like and it is expected that the question will be settled very shortly.
