    2/4/2019 Metra directors: 'Dire' funding crisis may prompt service cuts | Trains Magazine Metra directors: 'Dire' funding crisis may prompt service cuts By Richard Wronski | January 11, 2019 RELATED TOPICS: METRA | CHICAGO | INFRASTRUCTURE | FINANCING | MIDWEST | COMMUTER Trains Industry Newsletter Get a weekly roundup of the industry news you need. Sign up By signing up you may also receive occasional reader surveys and special offers from Trains magazine. View our privacy policy. CHICAGO — Three suburban Chicago members of Metra’s board of directors have taken the unusual move of penning a newspaper opinion- editorial expressing their concern about the commuter railroad's “dire” capital funding crisis and warning of potential service cuts. “Without a large infusion of funding from the state of Illinois, we likely will have to shrink the Metra system to match our shrinking resources. If that happens, it will impact our communities and scores of others all across northeast Illinois,” said the op-ed, published Friday in the suburban Daily Herald. The three directors include Rodney Craig, mayor of Hanover Park; Timothy Baldermann, mayor of New Lenox, and Don De Graff, mayor of South Holland. Their op-ed is part of a campaign by Metra to urge passengers and the public to press legislators in Illinois' capital city, Springfield, to approve a state infrastructure bond program. The mayors cited a recent white paper commissioned by Metra and prepared by the Rail Transportation and Engineering Center at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. This paper says the failure to spend $1 in preventive maintenance now can cost $4 in deferred maintenance later.

  • Frost Family Edmund Frost
    THE FROST FAMILY IN ENGLAND AND AJ\MERICA WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO EDMUND FROST AND SOME OF HIS DESCENDANTS BY THOMAS G. FROST, Ph.D., LL.D. AND EDWARD L. FROST, M.D. BUFFALO RUSSELL PRINTING COMP ANY 1909 OR the past several years Thomas G. Frost, Ph.D., F LL.D., of New York, and Edward L. Frost, M.D., of Buffalo, have, as opportunity offered, interested themselves irt the Frost Genealogy. The former made personal in­ vestigation of the early English and American records, while the iatter collected data from American sources. Neither knew of the work or existence of the other, until within a very recent period, when each had practically completed his manuscript. Upon comparing notes, it was deemed advisable to combine them in one publication, which has been done. For any peculiarities of arrange­ ment, or undue repetition of statement, it is hoped that the original matter presented, particularly in Part I, will more than compensate. To those who have generously furnished many necessary records, we acknowledge our great obligation, and trust that they will find the subject-matter of sufficient interest to partially repay them for their labor. In the matter of publication, the following persons have cooperated: John E. Frost, LL.D., Topeka, Kan.; Dan Frost, New York; Wm. G. Frost, Montclair, N. J.; George H. Frost, Plainfield, N. J., and the ,vriters. Considerable effort for accuracy of record has been made. If, however, errors are found to have crept in, we shall deem it a favor to be informed of the same.
