Ischua Station Is Discontinued

Albany, July 6.—The Pennsylvania Railroad Company has been authorized by the Public Service Commission to discontinue the services of an agent at its Ischua station in Cattaraugus county.

The authorization was granted on condition that the railroad company place the Ischua station under the jurisdiction of the agent at Franklinville and that the company maintain the waiting room of the station clean and in proper order. The company is further required to post notices in and about the station informing the public with respect to receipt and delivery of freight and other matters in connection with the operation of the station. Revenues of the railroad at this station have materially decreased for the past five years; from $14,587 or a monthly average of $1,215 in 1928 to $2,802 or a monthly average of $280.20 for the first months of 1932.
