Several different towns in the United
States claim the unique distinction OF hav

but from the best Information that can h
obtained It seems that the credit properly
belongs To the town Of Beverly, Mass.
The circumstances loading up TO thi
discovery may be of interest 10 our rcaG

Boston, Oct. 5, 1897.
/ invited a conference with the terminal
committee Of the city last week, and stated TO
II our embarrassments as 60 the conduct OF
business at that station. whether two, three
or four tracks would be necessary for daily
use by through passenger trains, and II so,
which tracks on the whole would be best to
use for this purpose. | told them that we
were proposing 10 cover the platforms at each
end Of the station, but that we did not wish
to waste money until we were sure as to what
cover would be- provided for those in the rear
OF the station, but that they might depend
upon it that adequate protection would be.
made before the work could be considered fin
ishcd; that after having expended millions of
dollars i'm creating the station the company
did not propose TO leave it unfinished on in
adequate in any respect.
II might properly be deemed arbitrary if we
should insist that all wes:-bouud passengers
should use the subways without a sufficient
reason appearing to give them the longer
walk | am inclined to think that this is what
will happen eventually, but il possible TO
avoid it, | want TO avoid it so tnat everybody
may be saved every step that is consistent
with public safety.
wish you would say this as you have occa-
sion, because there is no disposition ON the
part of the company, so far rs know, TO do
anything but what may DC for the best for
the people of Providence taking and leaving
trains, and TO do it as promptly as may be
after we find what Is best. Each station has
its own burdens and special uses. The mum
Der of trains in Providence is very great and
provisions which might apply in places with
less number of trains will be found totally in
adequate in Providence. Only some experience
in the actual working of. the station can de-
termine this point, and as soon as it is deter
mined, we shall try TO adapt il to its uses and
mako il as perfect as through station can be
made
