City was ff.-inp to .|ep,u-fc from ,i solemn apreoment un-lcr which half a million of the rat-^payors' money ha.l already Ixen sp^.nt. Mut the City Knf,nneer withdrew his report and the Conncil adopted the withdrawal The Cty Kn^ineer had ..eclared that in his opinion there were tracks on pennanently formed road- ways on other streets than tho.se spociHed hy Mr. Jennings, and that the City should not he ' c.nned t . lay down a permanent pavement on such streets in conjunction with the change of track, and he reported that he was advised that debentures could not be issued by the City for' A-mK on until it had been .letennine.l whether the City or the Con.pany was liable to do the work. This broke up all the plans for the work. Mr. Keating and Mr. Jennings were brought fac- to bcce at a forn.al n,eeting and Mr. Jennings infonued Mr. Keating that at the tinu. the .Street Railway tond.-rs were called for, he. as (^ity Engineer, ha.l intiu.ated to the Civic Connn.ttee n> charge of the n.atter as well as to all who n.ade enquiry that the only pern.anent p.nvn.ents were Sherbourne fron. King to Hloor, Bloor fron. Yonge to Sherbourne, and King at the Subway : but Mr. Keating thought this was " n,.t in th.. bund." and put the responsibility of earrying out the iigivemont on the Council. When things had been brought to a standstill in this way, .Md. Lunb, chairn.an .,f the 1-M.d of Works. reque.sted the Con.p„ny to n.ak. another offer of son.e .sort with a view of putting an end to the difficulty, which had been aggravated by tlu- di.seovery on the part of ald.rn>eu that the work done by the City in IS92 had of itself absorbed nearly all the n.oney that could be rai,sed by pledging the thirty years' n.ileage of .^800 per mile of single track per amuun payable by the Con.pany during the life of its franchise. I„ response to this invitation the Con.pany subu.itted a new agreement the substance of which was that, subject to the control oi the C.ty EugM.eer, it would, s<. t.. speak, become pern.anent contractors for the City in layin. the paven.ents in eonsidea-ation of being relea.s.d fron. the n.ileage. and that in addition it would assun.e the cost of the work .lone i.. 1802, the City retaining the p..reentage of gro.ss receipts l.'c.n. pa,ssenger la.sine.ss tVee fron. any charge which would continue to be a valuable .source of niumcipal revenue for the thirty years. That ,.ffer was not accepted, an.l the C^on,pa,.y then fell back upon the original agreen.ent undas theC.ty refuse,! to lay .lown the pen..a,.ent paven.ent the Con.pa..y be^an ' the' su.t for breach of contract against the City, the da.nages asked being base.l upon a fair ^sti.nate ol the injury it has sustained. Such is the plain narrative given in .letail in the annexed correspondence. If the City was nght in spending h,lf a million in .8.2 upon the con.litions of the original agreement it was w-ng,n backing out of co.npleting the work in 18f«.

The City will construct, ivconstruct iind maintain in repair the Street Railway portion " of the roadways, viz., for double track, 16 ft. (i in., and for single track, .S ft. :{ in., on all .streets " traversei] by the railway system, l)ut not the tracks and substructures reijuired for the said " railways. " 10. The purclmsi-r shall maintain the ties, strin<,'ers, i ails, turn-outs, curves, etc., in a statu " of thoroufjfh etheieney ami to the satisfaction of the City Eiigini'or, and shall remove, renew or " replace the same, as circumstances may retiuii'e, and as the City Kngineer may direct. When " a street niton which tracks are now laid is to lie i)aved in a permanent manner, on concrete "or other like foundation, then the purchaser shall remove present tracks and substructures " and rej)lace the same, according-- to the best mo«lern practice, by improved rails, points and sub- "structures of .such description tis may be dotei mined upon by the City Knginueras most suit- " able for the pui'pose, and for the eomfortal)le and ,safe u.se of the highway by those using " vehicles thereon, and all elianges in the present rails, tracks and road-bed. construction of new " lines, or additions to pi'e.sent ones, shall be done under the supervision of the City Kngineer " and to his satisfaction." 11. When the purchaser desires or isre(|uired to change any existing tracks and substructures for the purpose of operating by electric or other motive power, ap- proved by the City Engineer and confirmed by the City Council, the City will lay down a permanent pavement in conjunction therewith upon the track allowance (as heiein defined) to be occupied by such new tracks and substructures. This shall Hr.st apply only to exi.sting main lines and thereafter to branch lines or exten.sions of main lines and branches as and when the City Kngineer may from time to time recommend mid the City Council may direct and ivcpiire : but such tracks as are now laidon a permanently formed roadway, must, when so required as aforesaid, be changed by the purchaser as herein- before provided, without any change of roadbed being made, or any expense occa- sioned to the City thereby. The City put its practical construction on the meaning of these conditions in the year 1S!»2, by laying down the permanent pavement on concrete foundation on about thirty miles of track allowar.ces in conjuction with the change of the system from horse power to electric p(nver, and pledged, all the udleage payments of $800 a mile for ten years, for a debenture debt for these payments of $ 442,606 00 The mileage payments for 1892 were $55,134 00 and the annual payments for interest and sinking fund for the redemption of these debentures were $54,573 81 Leaving only the small balance of $ 560 19 I > 1 ■i ti) providf i'or tho pnvoiiients on the bnliiiicr of tlio truck allowiiiiCfs out of tliu inili ha.s not liccn sutliciont to pay for these pavements. The experience of IH!»2 therefore proved that if tho agreement was earrietl out in accordance with the practical interpretntion put upon it hy th') City, and the pernianetit pavements were laid down on the track allowances for tho residue of the system, the percentaf,'c from tho passenger tratHc and tho mileapo payments would all ho needed for tho payment of tho ainiual interest and sinking fund for the pavements on tho track allowances.

The Company helieved that th(( present City Kntjinecrand the Corporation would act upon the detinition of permanent lavements of its own Eii<,dneer at the time the Company made the tender and entered into tho contract; and they now claim that the City shouM honor the repre- sentation of its own Kngineer and carry into effect without litigation tho definition of perma- nent pavement upon which tho contract was hiused. The City carried on tho work of last year upon that hasis, hut the City Engineer in mak- ing his report for tho current year, qualified it and made it suhjocttothe condition that the City should proceed with the work and lay the porjnanont pavements and that tho question of liability should he determined hetwoen the City and the Company hy an action, and that if the Court should hold that the Company is lialile, the Company should pay tho cost of the work. This report was passed hy the Board of Works, the Executive and the Council, and conununi- catod to the (Jompaii,\ .ind after consideration thereof, the Company accepted tho report by letter to the City Engineer and which (Uight to have been communicatct;uid that it will require a two-third vote of the Council to ilo so— that oni' Company will ehalleng.' bv litigation any power to revoke the agreement, and will commence |)roi Unix's against the Citv and if the position of the Company should be maintained in the litigatiiai under the original or this agreement it wement. and it is only a (piestion of means of raising the money for making the changes : and providing loi' fair trial of the .piestion of liability, I am satisfied that an acceptable arrangement can be made wliiiOi will ])rovide for public intensst in accordance with the terms of the re]iort and the acce])tance of it. and provide for the innnediate prosecution of the work on the undei'staiiding that the Company will pay for it if it be legally liable to do so.

I beg, in conclusion, to state that if it be the di'sire of the City Engineer in withdrawing his report already adopted for the ptn-pose of altering the .same as regards pavements to be made in outlying and districts other than residential, it might be po.ssible.in the event of tlie Ccauicil postponing the fpiestion of the present reco.-nnendation. that an r.greement might be made which would be acceptable to the City, its Engineer and the Company.

It was plain and in.lisputabk. that if the City carried out its obligation to lay down the permanent paAement it would not only use up the entire receipts from mileage and passenger traffic but the annual cluirges for the old Street Railway debt would have to bo put into the tax account year by year, and tho ( "hainnan of the Couunitteo on Works and a large number of Aldermen mot the oHicoi's of the Railway (Jompany and asked them to consider a plan by which the class of pavement on .some of the track allowances might be lowered and tho percentages fiom passenger fares saved to the City for the payment of tho annual charges on the old Street Railway debt or other nnmicipal purposes.
