Friday, April 20, 1934 i Hov ,is the train ?,Is she on time? When is the boatdiie to arrive1? These are common questions showing how much we depend upon our transportation systems. We look for the mail. We expect our milk to arrive from the interior. We want fresh vegetables and meat. We must send our fish to market in New York, Chicago or Montreal. Our very life as a commercial city depends upon our connections with the outside. If there is a hitch. in the working of the systems we find our routine life upset and must readapt ourselves to a new condition. We are told there is a deficit on our railway operations but that affects us very little. What is of moment to us is that we get a good service. Usually we get it but the forces of nature sometimes upset our calculations.
