RESOLUTION PROTESTING THE
INADEQUATE SERVICES OF THE
CHICAGO AND NORTHWESTERN
RAILROAD COMPANY
* * * * *
BE IT RESOLVED By the President and Board of Trustees
of the Village of Mount Prospect, Cook County, Illinois:
Section 1. That a protest be forwarded to the Chicago
and Northwestern Railroad Company by the President and Board
of Trustees of the Village of Mount Prospect, with respect to
the growing inadquate services that that carrier is furnish-
ing to this municipality, pointing out that in spite of several
very substantial increases in fares: (1) no additional trains
liave been put on to serve the rapidly growing number of commu-
ters in this area; (2) the present trains are crowded to the
point that even standing room is at a premium; (3) many times
coaches are unheated causing danger to health; (4F) trains very
seldom maintain their time schedules with the result that
persons riding such trains are unable to arrive at their places
of employment consistently on time which causes loss of income
to such individuals; and (5) the lights in the coaches are so
dim that it is impossible to read printed matter without serious
damage to the eyesight.
Section 2. That a copy of this Resolution be sent to
the governing bodies of the municipalities of Park Ridge, Des
Plaines, Arlington Heights, Palatine and Barrington.
Section 3. That these municipalities jointly bring the
matter of inadequate services of the Chicago and Northwestern
Railroad Company to the attention of the Illinois Commerce
Commission to seek relief prompt and certain of the deplorable
situation.
Passed: this 6th day of February, 1951.
