Word was received this week in Brockville to the effect that no change will be made on the Westport sub-division of the Canadian National Railways, at least until the time arrives for the closing of the schools and in the meantime further consideration and study will be made by the management of the system to the details of a new schedule.

Following is a telegram received from Montreal by J. Gill Gardiner, a director of the railways.

“It has been decided to make no change in Westport service until the closing of the schools. This will give time for making arrangements for the opening of the schools in the fall. In the meantime, further consideration will be given to a new schedule.”
