By Order
The North Carolina Llilituc
Commission has ordered the South
ern Railway to reopen its depot al
Clyde "immediately."
Clyde Town Attorney Bruce
Brown today received a copy ot
the order, which was signed In
Myrtha Fleming, the Commission
chief clerk, and other members ol
the state group.
Mrs ,hcc Hay lies, town clerk
said the order was sent to the
Southern Railway office.
The commission's directive cli
maxed move by Clyde town ul
ficals and citizens to have the depot
reopened.
The Utilities Commission heard
both sides of the question last
month at a hearing in Asheville.
The railway closed the depot last
fall with permission of the stale
agency. Southern officials had ar
gued that revenue from operations
al Clyde did not warrant main
tenance of the depot.
However. Clyde town spokesmen
at last month's hearing declared
that the closing of the depot caused
the town and outlying comntunitiics
inconvenience and extra expense,
that the volume of traffic did war
rant this facility.
Among the witness arguing tor
the reopening were the livestock
producers, who argued that the
Clyde depot had the only cattle
loading facilities m this area.
It was not immediately known
exactly when the depot would he
reopened.
