Even a railroad company | is | supposed to "have a heart" and therefore for two | sentimental . reasons . the Grant Street station should be reopened, because, as far as 1 know, it is the only railroad station anywhere In the United States which opens directly on an ocean beach and where many thousands of visitors have had their firmt view of the ocean. . I be: lieve that this view alone is worth consideration by yourself and those |under you in charge of operation. I believe that the desire for the . re|opening of the tation at Grant Street is universal amongst the par [trons of the Pennslvania Railroad and (I hope that you will give this matter full consideration and decide to order the recpening of the station." Mr. ter hax had an interview Les regarding. the reopening of the Summer station and the Federal Manager hax. promined . to give the matter full and early convid~ eration, .
