RESOLUTION
Result . . . . //i,
WHEREAS, the Southern Pacific Railroad Company for many years has
maintained a passenger train service between Ogden, Utah and Oakland,
California, popularly known as the "City of San Francisco," being
passenger train numbers 101 and 102; and
WHEREAS, over the years the residents of Salt Lake City and Ogden,
and of the communities between Salt Lake City and San Francisco located
in the states of Utah, Nevada and California, have come to rely on such
train service and such service has contributed greatly to the economy
and convenience of the citizens of said communities; and
WHEREAS, the Southern Pacific Railroad Company proposes to discon-
tinue said train service and has applied to the Interstate Commerce
Commission for permission to discontinue said train service; and
WHEREAS, the discontinuance of said trains would leave Salt Lake
City and the intermediate communities between Salt Lake City and Ogden,
Utah, Oakland and San Francisco, California, without adequate train
service and would result in great economic loss and inconvenience to
the citizens thereof:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS OF
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, that said Board does hereby object to the discon-
tinuance of said trains and respectfully petitions the Interstate
Commerce Commission to deny the request of the Southern Pacific Rail-
road Company for discontinuance of Trains numbers 101 and 102 between
