Dear Sir:
Replying to your letter of May
18th, regarding complaints that
passenger trains, when stopping al
Wyandotte, fail 10 clear the street
crossing.
This matter is under investigation
and We will advise you further re-
garding same at an carly date.
Yours very truly,

Manager

Mr.. Ford Wagar. City Clerk
City of Wyandotte
Dear Mr.. Wagar:
Your letter of April 9Th, regard
ing complaint of Councilman Harry
G. Rouse in regard to blocking Oak
Street crossing came to my atten-
ton and 1 regret that it has taken
this length of time in which to make
a report but We wanted to be sure
of the situation before making re-
ply.
We have analysed the situation
very carefully and we do not think
that there is but very little, il any,
complaint on our Southbound pass
enger trains because in making our
station stop We keep north of Oak
Street crossing.
In regard TO our northbound pas
senger trains, l know that you are
familiar with the railroad situation
and are aware that it is necessary
to have U. S. Mail and Express cars
on the head end of the train and if
We we're TO pull the entire train
north Of Oak street crossing to
clear that particular crossing it
would mean that we would have TO
unload the u S. Mail where We had
no>Shelter and I know that you ap-
, preciate what it would mean in
Indictment weather and particular
ly SO with the very recent bad
rainy weather that We have had.
We would also have a bad situation
by unloading and loading our coach
passengers in all kinds of weather.
1t is practically impossible to build
train shed facility that would
take care Of this situation, how
ever 1 have said TO our Operating
People that We want to keep Oak
street crossing clear to the maxi
mum extent and l have likewise
issued instructions to our forces
with respect TO the switching in the
vicinity of Oak street.
Please be assured that We will
watch this situation very closely
and in conclusion also be advised
that We have posted our local force
at that point so that in the event
that we are on the crossing and
the Fire Department or an Ambu-
lance shows up that we will cut
and clear the crossing just as
quickly as possible.
Yours very truly,

Your plan for the vacation of the

talking with my client, will be in a
better position to set forth our re-
quirements.
This is all of course subject to
the interest of the tenant Kresge
and provision for future use regard
