would be put in position at very early date.
Judge Hale wanted to know when the two
, new tracks would be laid.
MIR. Hill said work was being done now, and
80 soon as spring opened the work would be
pus he'd forward to finish most speedily.
Mr.. Murray moved that the bridging of street

Opposition to this motion was taken by
Judge Hale, MIR. Lee, Gen. Becker and others.
They held that the plan to he adopted should
he for all time and for all Streets the council
subsequently deciding which street should be
bridged first, and so on.
Mayor DAVIS IN favored the adoption of a
general plan, and then Lafayette avenue or
any other street might he considered. As the
city got the means. the streets could be
bridged.
Aid. Bell offered resolution referring the
matter to city engineer and railroad engineers
for plan for bridging streets from Rice street
to the levee.
Mr.. Murrsy's resolution was changed to en-
brace all the railroads, and was adopted.

Why do engines whistle?
Mr.. Hill said the whistling was to move or
control the brakes.
Mr.. Lee-"Couldn't the bell do it?'
Mr.. Hill-'No, sir, signals couldn't be given
by the bell, for it's not known how many taps
of the bell would sound when the cord was
pulled. Bell signals were for danger, ETC."
MIR. Lee continued at great length about
whistling, and Mr.. Hill closed the discussion
by saying that whistling wasn't INDUCED in
more than was necessary.
Mr.. Lee then prefacsd another question by
referring TO the lives lately lost and then asked
how long before the automatic gates would be
ready.
MIR. Hill-Within ten days, and the delay is
caused by building snow plows.
At this juncture the delegation of citizens
asked to be excused from further attendance.

Mr.. Hill said the change, lowering the tracks
was contem plated at an early day. The idea
was to put in new tracks on a lower grade, and
use them while the others were lowered. Yet,
after all, such a change could not be made a.
asked for it would put the shops at Mississippi;
street II feet below grade, and make them use
less, unless at an exhorbitant expense.
Mr.. Sewall believed the city shouldn't wait
for the railroads. The crossings could be-
bridged in accordance with change of grade by
railroads. As for instance, there'd be q
fall at Third street. and the street should
be brideed according same lat the four feet

or so much as might affect the right of way
over which the railroad had control.
Mr.. Sewail thought the piers and abutments

ready to build approaches, would Mr.. Hill be
ready to erect bridges.
Mr. Hill questioned what constituted sap

NJ. Murray explained that the city was not
in a financial condition to take into cOnsiders-
ton the bridging of all streets, but means
could b, found to bridge Lafayette avenue;
what would Mr.. Hill do in that case?
Mr. Hill would do anything req uired of him
in right and justice, but when the bridging was
considered all streets ought to be provided for
from Rice to Third street.
Mr.. Murray said certainly. but the plan TO be
undertaken at once was to provide for Lafay-
