Tbe coal will be hauled through Johnsonburg via R. & C. and will be taken on to Olean over the J. R. R. At Olean the coal will be de livered back to the division that Is now completing the haul to Buffalo. At present these shipments are made by the way of Driftwood, but the route over the J. R. R. is considerably shorter and a better grade, and the plan is no doubt advanced for tbe pur poso of overcoming any advantage gained by the B. & S. people In mak ing shipments on the P., S. & N. on part of tho haul to Buffalo.
