The Man Behind the Railroad Terminal

The human element in the manage ment of one of the great modern rail- road terminals is apt to be far more interesting than all the diverse plan nings of tracks and platforms that go to make its physical side. That there is a man to whom all these myriad tracks and switches are no labyrinth but as clear as the fingers of his two hands, becomes a matter of keen in terest If the railroad terminal is the city gate then this man must be It's watchman. His watch house is glass lined and sun filled and stands at the busiest part of the terminal yard, fac ing the train shed of the terminal

 Another petition which was accepted was that of property owners on Center street between Monroe and Washing ton for cement gutters on each side of the street.
 A petition was presented to the council by pr. Roy F.. Thomas. asking that the city appropriate $50 month toward the support of pathological and bacteriological laboratory. The petition was signed by the city health officer and nine other physicians, who agreed to contribute S10 month each toward the laboratory. The total eX- penSe of equipment was estimated at $500. which Dr. Thomas thought could be raised from other sources. The maintenance of the laboratory would be about s225 a month, which would be about the price that would have to be paid for a first-class hacteriolOgist The purpose of the laboratory is for tests of contagious diseases and the analysis of the city's milk supply.

Stauffer and Hackett. and any physicians that the chairman might select. to confer with Dr. Thomas in regard to the proposition and to report at the next regular meeting.
 Owing to the deficiency in the sup ply of money in the general fund a resolution was adopted to draw $S0O0 from the funds of the water depart ment to meet current expenses of the month. The water department has about S27.00O to it's credit and the city but $2400.
