man at the crossing. Alderman Rem
shaw took the position that the stop
ping Of trains would hamper the eX-
port facilities at the port. and he
called attention to the fact that an
hour lost by a steamship cost a
great deal of money. He favored a
hagman. Mr.. Williams said that it
was possible the superintendent OF
the local division would rather have
all trains come to full stop, and
tfagman stationed there than hay
he favored the reference of the resO-
luton to a committee for conference
with Mr.. SaltmarSh to get his ideas
on the matter. Alderman Concannon
very strenuously objected to letting
Mr.. Saltmarsh be called into the mat
ter, saying that he thought the coun-
Gil was able to act on it without
the aid of the railroad superintend-
ent, and he thought the section it
referred to was plain enough to war
rant intelligent action without the
proposed action. 1t was, however,
referred to the committee on parks
and ways, which will confer with Mr..
Saltmarsh as to whether the trains
are to stop there or whether flag
man should be placed there and sta
toned permanently.
Alderman Williams offered a reso-~
luton requesting the mayor to ap-
point Dr. E. F. Bruce, the city health
officer; T. A. Jennings, chairman
of the board of works; Alderman
Rocheblave, of the harbor and sani
tary committee; Engineer Thorton
(and later in the meeting the new
sanitary inspector was added to the
committee) to make an examination
of the DeVilliers street outlet, the
resolution declared, and report ways
and means for its improvement. The
resolution was passed.
