I. & G. N. "CALLED."
Special to The Sunday Light.
Austin, Tex., Oct. 26.—The Railroad Commission today addressed a letter to the International & Great Northern Railway Company, calling their attention to the travesty of passenger train service on No. 3 on their schedule. The train is scheduled for 8:30 p. m., bound for San Antonio, never on time here. While it is scheduled it seldom reaches Austin until 11 o'clock p. m., and sometimes after midnight. The commission has kept tab on this south-bound train for the past two months and is backed up by figures. It is likely that a hearing may be called to take action.
