LITIGATION that the Alexandra and Washington
Railroad Company proposed changing the DO
sition of their track on St. Asaph street, be.

mittee will merely report the opinion of the
acting Corporation Attorney, to whom the SUBJ
jcct was submitted, and which, as heretofore
stated 10 the Gazette, decides that the railroad
company has the right to make the proposed
change. Should the change be made it is the
intention Of the company, who have extended
their lease of the property now occupied by
them as their depot, to improve that property
and erect handsome shed there, so that pas
sengers will have covered way extending
from the building to the train, and can step
from the sidewalk to the platforms of the cars.
1t is stated, however, that even should the
City Council give its consent to the alteration
