As a matter of fact, the pen alty for failure to obey under th old law waa $1,000 to $10,000, but Is was so sever that the penalty had nevjr been Imposed by the courts. . The occasion for the bill waa the fact that along In the winter the railroads. Which center In Harlan. Shelby county, were directed by the railroad commission to make physical connections, and up to the present they have not done so. It . I explained thaV the order gave them only 80 day In which to do the work, and It was at a seasTTrT-when it could be done to advantage. But the bill was demanded by a great many Interest In the belief that It would put a stop to appeals to the courts merely for the purpose of delay. It wa opposed by the railroads on the ground that It was a measure of drastic character and no such penalty Is Inflicted elsewhere for merely resorting to the courts. Will Have a Bee Inspector.
