 fill up, when necessary, the old channel of the river, the places of deposit to be 
 as directed by the Engineer. The methoil of removal may be by scoWs, or other- 
 wise, and the manner of carrying out the work will be Tel t to the Contractor. 
 
 2. All slips from embankment occurring during progress of excavating, or > 
 . before the piles are driven or secured, shall be removed by the Contractor in the 
 
 manner before specified, for which no extra will be allowed. 
 
 3. The measurements &f the work for the 2nd and 3rd section shall be the 
 actual depth of channel excavated and the width of channel from outside to out- 
 side of piles when compJeted. The Contractor (or Contractors) when making his 
 (or their) estimates for tendering will decide aa to the quantity and value of 
 material in slopes. ' 
 
 4. Soundings on the line of the first section shall be submitted to the Con- 
 tractor with an approximate estimate of the quantity of material to be removed 
 from this section. A lump Sum tender will b© accepted by the Committee on 
 Works for this section. ' 
 
 5. The flontractor shall form the roiidways on both sides of the channel as 
 shewn on Plan No. 2, to be sefen at the oAce of the City Engineer. The surface 
 of roadway when completed will be'about 10 feet above the zero level of the 
 Lake, an average of about 4 feet above the Don Flats^ excepting at dhe approaches 
 to the King Street, Eastern Avenue and Grand Trunk Railway bridges, where 
 the roadway will be carried up to the surface of the road with a grade of 1 in 60, 
 and a width of J 25 feet in addition to its slopes, which will be 1^ to 1. 
 
 6. As there will not be suflScient material from channel to complete the 
 roadway and fill in old channel, all other material necessary shajl be from side 
 hills, excepting a smaU quantity to be removed from the Gerrard Street embank- 
 ment. This material to be rembved to suth points as may be deUrmined by the 
 Engineer. The quantity to be borrowed cannot be definitelj^ determined on at 
 
 present. ' ; ■ _; .,,— — ^--'" 
 
 Should the Contractor carry on , the work during the-winfer months, care 
 must be taken that no anow be deposited in the embankments, and all frosen 
 _earth shall be deposited on the outside slopes of the embankmente. Measure- 
 ments of quantities taken from side-hill cuttings shall be made in cuttinga. 
 During the winter months, however, whqp it may be impossible to do so, the 
 quMititiesin embankments may be taken for progress estimates, the Engineer 
 making such deductions as he may think necessair for settlement of ena. 
 bankments. 
 
 7. From borings taken along the line of the new channel, descriptions of 
 which are shewn on plan JIo. 3, it is quite possible that small quantities of ahaU 
 (rock) may be found in places along the channel bottom, but not, in the Opinion 
 of the Engineer, of suflBcient thickness to interfere with the operation of dredge 
 or the driving of piles. Should it, however, be necessary that other meana be 
 taken to remove this shale, the Contractor will give a price per cubic yard tor; 
 this work, the quautity to be estimated by measurement after its removal ftbm 
 the channel.

 City of Tqronto were authorized to carry on certain worlts for the iinprovoini'iit

 And whereas, in carrying on the said improvements, the cost of tl»<^ IhihIs

 whiQh a also under contract ; 
 
 Aiid whereas, a large part of the work contracted for has bee.i performed, 
 and owing to the approach of winter and dungar to the work tbrotigh frost uul 
 spring floods, it is absolutely necessary that the works should be prOceocK'd with 
 as rapidly as possible, so as to place them bayond iiyury by frost and Ho ids ; 
 
 And whereas it appears by a letter from the City Treasurer to His Worship 
 theiMayor, dated the 8th day of October, 188S, thiit the sum of ^,ii)iVi()i^ appro-

 HEPORr No. 19 OF THE COMMIITEE ON WORKS. 
 
 Your Committee on Works begs to report that it has fully and carefully 
 / ^. considered the projected straightening and improvement of the Don Kiver, 
 from Winchester Street into the waters of Lake QnUrio; and plans and 
 speoifioations, together With a Report, were submitted by the City Engineer 
 and adopted by your Committee. Your Committee would therefore recom* 
 mend the adoption of the following Report of the City Engineer in reference 
 
 o ' to the, same: 
 
 <■'.,■■ 
 
 "CiTV Exoi.vbicr's Office, August 17th, 1886* 
 
 " to the Chairman and Membtra CommUUeon Worka: 
 
 "GByTLEMEN,-^! beg to report that I have made a survey of the River Don 
 and of the adjoining' lands for the purpose of straightening and widenfbg the 
 River, from the point where it crosses Winchester .Street southerly crossing 
 the marsh on the west^limit of Ashbridge's Bay to its entranee into the 
 Lake. The ali^ment of tho proposed new out is |^ shewn onthe plan now 
 submitted la your Committee. With the plan 1 also submit a profile of the * 
 east and west banks of the new channel ; also cross spotions of the work at 
 stations .50 and ItX) feet apart, extending from Winchester Street to the 
 southerly boundary of the marsh lands belonging to the City, and also 
 profiles of soundings through the marsh and Ashbridge's Bay to its entrance 
 into the Lake. ' « 
 
 " The Act respecting the River Don improvements, assented to March 25th, 
 1886, provides that the impi-ovements ^hall extend from the line of Bloor 
 Street produced easterly crossing tlie Don into the Ijike. '1 his.rs divided 
 , into six sections ; upon the whole, or upon one section, work may be done. 
 
 "The first section extends from the line of Bloor Street produced to \Tm- 
 choster Street; the second section extends from Winchester Street to 
 Carlton Street, the* third section extendi* from Carlton Street to King 
 Street; the fourth sectitin extends from King Str«el to Eastern Avenue-; the 
 
 — fifth section extends from Eastern Avenue to boundary of marsh lani^ ; the 
 
 * sixth section extends doutheriy or othemrise to the waters of th^ ^ay or 
 ^ Jake Ontario into such point as may be determined by the Council of the 
 City of Toronto: * 
 
 "It is not proposed at fir^f to carry out the whole of this work, and a« 
 
 f instructed by the Committee when estimating the cost I have taken only 
 
 into consideration those sections Nbs. 2, 3, 4^5 and 6, extending from the 
 
 . line of Winchester Street to the entrance into Uie Lake.

 they are permitted the privilege' which they claim. A similar view is held 
 by the projectors of the propoAe(j Belt Line Railway. The Canadian Pacific 
 Railway Company have repeatedly expressed a desire to have all matters in 
 dispute sejtled by arbitration. In the meantime theyrhave been notiHed by 
 the Cfty Solicitor not to enter upoiiHAe improvement. I have hafl prepared 
 by the Engi^ieer, and submit for your information, a statement of the cost 
 of finishing the work by three schejtnes, as follows : 
 
 Ist. Finishing the improvement at the Cornwall Street hill on the west 8i<le 
 to only 75 feet, and at the Jail hill on the east side to only 40 feet wide, 
 leaving out cribbing where the bottom is hard, and omitting some dredging 
 of shale rock on the east side of the channel at Kin^ Street. The estimated 
 cost of this scheme is §170,555. 
 
 2nd. Finishing the improvement^on the west bank throughout to 125 feet 
 wide, and on the <ast bank to the same width except at the Jail hill, where 
 it will be 75 feet wide, and completing the piling and cribbing in all places. 
 The estimated cost of this scheme is $215,4iX). 
 
 3i<il.'*Finishing tlie whole improvement from Winchester Street to the Bay 
 to 125 feet wide, putting in a swing bridge at Eastern Av«nue, and a high 
 level bridge at Queen Street, purchasing additional land on Queen Street, 
 aud di edging the entrance to the river 12 feet in depth so that vessels can 
 come in. I'he estimated cost of this scheme is $401,000. 
 At the time that these estimates were male there was a sUm^of 180,000 
 remaining to the credit of the improvement in the Trea^iwetf^ hands, and 
 this sum must of course be deducted from the" figures given in eVfeh of the 
 three foregoing schemes.. In other words, to complete the work by the first 
 scheme, the additional money required will be *90(J00, by the .second scheme 
 ii 1 3.'),0(J0, and by the third scheme §411,000. 
 
 By a reference to the City .Solicitor's letteivdated the 2-.|na inst., an<l hereto 
 appended, it. will be seen that that qWicial advises ^iliflt legislation be 
 obtained, if possible during the present session of the Ontario Legislature, 
 authorizing the submission to the ratepayers of a By-law granting to the 
 Council the money necessary to complete the improvement according to 
 whichever of the foregoing schemes the Council may decide to adopt. 
 
 Action on this matter must be taken at once, otherwise the completion of 
 the worH will be postponed for another year. 
 
 \lt must be borne in mind that the estimate above given for the completion 
 of the improvement to 125 feet wide on each side, from Winchester Street 
 southward to the Bay, makes no provision for the removal of the Grand 
 Trunk* Railway bridge or for erecting a swing bridge at that pioint. Before 
 the new channel can be made available for vessels it is imperative that the 
 Grand Trunk Railway bridge shall be converted into, a swing bridge, so that 
 vessels can enter, for without this change all the arrangements for wharfage 
 along the banks of the straightened river and all the expenses of converting 
 the street bridges into swing bridges would be unavailing. The river could

 never be made uhq of by vogiols. The oostof a double track Hwing bui.lge 
 to replace the prenent Orah.l Trimk bri«l«M in estimatcMl ot *7.).0iMr. In 
 what proportion this cost wouM be sharod by the Haihvay Oomi.any ffn.l 
 tbt" City, or whether the whole cost woirf I be borne by tlio Uailwuy Conipany, 
 are (|uestion» which will have tp be refermi to the Uailway (Jommittco ot 
 tho Privy Council. asHunriinK that thoy have jurisdiction in the premises. In 
 ndifition to the foregoing there is the annual coHt of attendaniT <or aay 
 * during eight months of the year duriuj^ which the bridgo woul.l have to b.> 
 swung, and which would amoimt to about *1,.".(IW. The uifiimor in which 
 this annual cost would be divided between the City and the Compiiiiy would 
 also be decided by the Uailway ( ommittee. Th(^ whole co^t ot construc- 
 tion and oost of anniuil watchmg and attendance represents a capital sum 
 orili'tVJnO, and this is not. included in tl«f> est imat(> ol Scheme No 3. In 
 lik.> manner tiie annual cost of atten<ling the swing bridgei at tiiieeri Street 
 ami Eastern Avenue has not been considered in the esthnate of cost. 
 
 If legislation is to be obtained at this sesaion of the Ontario Legi-latuie to 
 enable the; Crfy to complete the woik,j|uder one of the Ihrego.ng schemes, 
 the Council must act promi)tly. 
 
 ' In this connection it must be remembered that the ("anadian Paoilie Hail- 
 way Compnny claim that tliey possess the j.ower under the provisions of 
 the Dominion Railway Act, to exi)ropriate |hj5 laml which they may 
 re<iuiie for railway purposes along the Don Improveuiont. If tiiey possess 
 this jiower anil exercise it, the value of the impiovement will be seriously 
 all'ecied, and the situation, so far as the «ity is con.erned, stilt liu-ther 
 coniplicated. It is impossible to advise the (Jouncil as to what is l)e3t to 
 be done in the circ instances. If the City cannot comptd the substitution 
 :Aol a swing biidge over the river by the Grand Trunk, there is no occasion 
 foi the constiuction of swing bridges at (iiieen Street an<l E;iS!ern Avenue, 
 and the I'hiid scheme siiggested need not be entertaint^d. Tiie Council,, 
 sh. Mill, however, decide at the earliest moment as to the adoption or 
 / n-jeouon of the llrst and second schemes. - '

 Letter from Epmind WRAO(iK,EHQ., G; T- R- 
 
 • Toronto, 19th December, 1H><8. 
 
 To His Worship th\ Mayor of Toronto: 
 
 Sir, I have seen a plan purporting \p show tl\e arrangement of tracks on 
 
 either bank of the River Don where the improvements authorized by 
 the Legislature of Ontario are carried out, and I wish, on behalf of the 
 Grand Trunk Company, to say that the plan I have seen and which i* in 
 the office of tjie City Engineer, does not comply* with the requipements of 
 the Act. 
 
 What I ^ish to point out to your Worship is that the Act contemplates th^ 
 rails being laid near the river on a reserve to be common Id all rajhvay— 
 companies, and a street not less than 50 feet wide adjoining the reserve on 
 the landward side, so that teams can get alongside an unloading track 
 common to all railways without having to cross the tracks. 
 
 ' In the plan exhibited in the City Engineer's office the arrangement is as 
 folldws :— 1st. A strip of land 23 feet in width adjoining the river j then the 
 railway reserve for two tracks; then a strip of land for two traftks of the 
 Canadian Pacific Railway; and then the .W^eel strip. The eftect of this 
 arrangement will be that any citizen unloading cars of any rtUlway other 
 *than the Canadian Pacific, will have to work on a strip of land only 23 feet 
 in width between the rails and the river, a space far too nai-row for con- 
 venience or fpr safety, and in order to get there will have to cross four 
 tracks on the Ifevel, ■ / > 
 
 I shall feel much obliged if you will carefully consider this point, and befoie 
 any dfefimte decision is 'come to, permit the Company as an interested 
 .party to be heard upon the whole subject of the tracks on either side of the 
 River Don between Its railway and Winchester Street. 
 
 . >^ I am. Sir, yours faithfully, '-

 required, was pie[)hred by Messrs. Unwin, Browne & Sankey, P.Ii.S., in

 aide immediately aljoiniug the ed^efof the new channel, and adjoining this

 PttciJiy linilway HhouM otoupy tho w«'Htt«rn strip. 
 
 A caiuiot answer your oncpiiry as to whether thi» a.-oision h»h coni.nuni.iit.-l 
 to the Councilor not. Upon looking over the Minute, of the Council ot 
 1>*87, I cannot find any reconl of thi* meeting. 
 
 With regard to the Cana«Uan Pacific! Hallway hridge crosning the l).)n Kiver 
 at WincheMer Street, the raiU lea.ling from the hridge can ho thrown to 
 meet any one line, or the whole four line.. I cannot nay what arrangement 
 may he nuule wiUi other railway oomi,anie« for the uhc of the bii.lge, hut 
 should it be nece«8aiy, a bridge can be built on cither side of the one now 
 Iwing constructo«l »)y the Canailian Pacific Hallway (:omi)any. 
 
 I can see only one w'ay in which the difHci||^>entionc<l by Your Worship 
 can be,cf!e«tualty overcome, viz.: "'Hiat no one railway jhall accpnre any 
 exclusive right of property or control over the same." 
 
 Some management will be necessary. Either the City or some xonq.atiy 
 mu«t manage the traffic over these Imes. The City cannot do so, owmg to 
 the expense attending the same, and a private company could not work it 
 to advantage, owing to the shortness of the line an.l the few railways using 
 the same, as the expense attending the management would be heavy. I lie 
 last and only feasible scheme, in my opinion, wouM be to arrange a systein 
 of management, either with the Grand Trunk or the Canadian PaciHc Haib 
 way Company, and at the same time to determine upon a settled rate of 
 charges for the use of the tracks by 9lher railways, which may at any time 
 use them, the two centre lines to be used for through traffic, freight and- 
 passenger. As the Canadiao PaciHc Railway is the only company which 
 will use these lines at present, I think it should have the management. 1 
 have spoken to Mr. Sankey, and he states that he was not acting for the 
 Canadian Pacific Railway Company, but that he was called to the meeting 
 by the Mayor. ■>

 hii.U conversation with Mr. Wrag«e about the (,ucHtion of the railway 
 facilities on the Don Improvement, and to-day I have been over the 
 matter with our Mr. .lenningn. 
 
 " If the entire width provide.1 for roadway and railway tracks on the 
 west Hi.le/ iH increased about 10 feet, I tJiink every possible recpure- 
 ,nent can be met. My idea is tlmt the railway n|»t to the Don channel 
 , should remain as planne.l, 2ft'fcet in wi.lth, a^d,o.nm« that there 
 should be an allowance for K«»eral railway purposes of 22\ ^'<'t. «"<« 
 then an allowance for the two main tracks of the Cana.han Pnc.hc of 
 24 feet, and then an allowance of 22i feet for general railway purposes 
 followe,! by a street of 42 feet. Thi- would make a total w.,lth o 1.17 
 feet insten.l of 12S feet as now planned, and it woul.l affonl roonv for 6 
 railway tracks in all. This plan is b.ised on pla.Mn^ the railway tracks 
 7 feet apart instead' of « feet, as originally designed. I he line being 
 . straight, this can be done. The general reserve can be li feet narrower 
 than the (Jana.lian Pacific reserve, because on ope side ot each the cars 
 fans»and up to the slieet line wiiboui disa.lvantHge. Mr. .Jennings 
 c»n explain all this to you. . . 
 
 •'In this way it will artbrd a track at the side of the two streets for 
 loading and unloa.ling car., and a clear running track between these 
 and the Canadian Pacific on either side. This running track can be 
 oonneced with the loading track at intervals by cross-over switches. 
 Forty-two feet will be ample width for the street on the west s.<le, 
 " . beeaqse no sidewalk will bo required on one =.ide of it, if on either.

 Is Re Don Works. 
 E. F. Clarke, Esq., Mayor, Toronto : 
 
 Dear SiK,— I beg to say, in answer to ydur instructions of the 9th inst., in 
 relation to the Don works, that I have gone carefully over the Reports of 
 the Committee on Works, and the actioi^ of the Council, and I find : 
 That at a meeting of the Committee <>fi Works, Jan. 26th, 1886, I was 
 ordered, on motion of Aid. Turner, to prepare a plan and make an estimate 
 of the cost of the work. The first proposal was for a 1 20 foot waterway, 1 4 
 feet deep, with an allowance of 30 feet fdr nailway purposes on each side of 
 the cliannel, and a 50 foot roadway on the outside of the railway allowance 
 on each side of the river for general traffic. 
 
 In September, 1886, a By-law was passed providing the suEtt of $300,0(M) for 
 carrying out the work. 
 
 Tenders for the work wei e asked on the 5th November following, and they 
 were veceived on the 30th of the same month. / ,

 Re Doji Improvemint. 
 
 Dear Sir— In rei.ly to your letter to m» of the lith, enclosing a copy o» 
 your letter to Mr. Sproatt of the 9th, an<l asking me if possiblo to throw 
 Houie light on the (piPHtion of authority or r^son for the .change* made in 
 the Don plan«, I woul<l sav •• That the first instructions I rocelvea to change 
 ' the roadway nn.l railway roHerves, as shown on the^^plan, wiih rogar.1 to 
 which the people voted the *30(>.0(K), were given mo by Mayor Ilowland 
 at th(f end of the mooting- in his office, as .lencribed in Mr. Rproatt'H letter 
 to you of December iUst, \mi I may here say that said letter was written 
 to you after ftn interview wfth me, an.l that I entirely agree with Mr. 
 -Jproatt fts to those prestMit and.as to the subjects ilisciused at the meeting. 
 1 can imagine no other rifiaon for'sai.l meeting than a desire to assist the 
 Canadian Pacific Railway in gaining an eastern entrance to the City, tor 
 invseir I would say that I considered Mayor Ilowland and AhlermanCarlyle 
 uood c'noligh Hutliority on which to make the changes, especially as I cOn- 
 sidoi'ed that no plan would be binding u^iless ratified by By-law. Shortly 
 after the above meeting a plan carrying out the instructions! then received 
 was sent to the Engineer'8 office. . ° 
 
 I finil the first Bv law by which the lands required for the Improve- 
 ment were exi)ropriated was passed on November -"Jnd, 1880, No. 1774, 
 which Bvlaw refers to the plan on which the people vote<l. Almos.t unme- 
 diatelv after thi?, it was found that it would be necessary to reduce the 
 .niantity of land, and I received fresh instructions through both the 
 Engineer's and Solicitor's office to amend the .lescription, and I then pre. 
 n-ired a tracing from the second plan sliowing the less quantity of lan<l and 
 the extra reserve., dated^December 28th, iSSti. 'fhis is the plan which 
 By-law No.1sO:i refers to, passed April 12th, IH87. The plans under which 
 wt. are now woi-king are the same except as to some further reductions in 
 the quantity of lan-l ; as I had nothing to do with the construction I cannot 
 say when the change in the quantities toik place. ^

 Sir Mr. Osier tells me that you would be glad to have all the infonnoi

 prenent the Mayor, AM. Carlyle, Mr. Sp 
 rtentatives of the City, 
 my«olf. The queHtion of our oaHtorn entrance over the Don Iniprov<'nient 
 waH (UHCUHHcd, ami ultimately, the Mayor ins.tructc.1 Mr. Sankcy to pre- 
 pare a plon Hhowing amongst other things the reserve for this ('. 1'. U- 
 Mr. Sank<!y prepare<l thia plan shortly alterwunU, ami 1 lK?lievc it has hc.-n 
 jn the offlco of the City Engineer ever since. 
 
 Wlion, in October, iM.sfi, we preparo<l the plan «ho\ving the location of <>ur 
 Don branch, the question wa.s discussed amongst ourselveH as to whether 
 we shouUl follow the location assigned to us on Mr. .Sankey's plan.^fJm on 
 the whole, it was thought better not to do so. It was thought, if wi- did 
 so, that we might perhaps be considorel by some as ikklug a i)0.sition 
 hostile to the City. We, therefore, located our line east <fl' the Don, (Kiss- 
 ing the river at or near Eastern Avenue. Our design was, when the Don 
 rmprovoment was completed or 8utliciently< advanced, to alter or divert 
 pur line under the general provisions of the Railway Act, and take up the 
 position along the Don Improvement which had been or wouUl be assigned 
 to us by the City. 
 
 Subsequently (in the month of December, 1887),' the Canadian Pacific 
 Railway Company made application to the Railway Committee at Ottawa 
 for leave to cross the Grand Trunk Railway tracks at Berkeley Street, and 
 a deputation, authorized by resolution of the Council, dated about 2ath 
 October, 1887, consisting of the Mayor and several Aldermen, algo the City 
 Engineer and the City Solicitor, went to Ottawa to support it. The Grand 
 Trunk Railway Company vigorouBly opposed our application to cross at 
 Berkeley Street, and proposed either a crossing near the west end of the 
 Don bridge or a crossing east of the Don bridge, coupled, I believe, with the 
 use of some of their tracks. 
 
 The Mayor and one or two other Aldermen addressed the Committee. The 
 Mayor spread out Mr. Sankey's plan before the Committee f he pointed out 
 the reservation for the Canadian Pacific Railway ; he contended that the 
 alternative propositions of the Grand Trunk Railway would, not answer the 
 purpose for which the Don Improvement was made, and he asserted that 
 any other line than that indicated on the plan would be unsatisfactory to 
 the City. 
 
 It was not unreasonable, I think, considering the circumstances under 
 which Mr. Sankeys plan was made and the use made of it, riot only at 
 Ottawa but on other opcasions, fo* the Canadian Pacific Rjailway Company 
 to conclude that the location assigned to it was definitely agreed to by the' 
 City. When, therefore, the Company in the spring of 188i was about to 
 enter into. a contract with Mr. HerMjrie- for the construction of the Don 
 branch, almost the first step Mr^ .Tentvings took was to obtain, with your 
 permission, a copy of Mr. Sankey's plan from the City Engineer, and it

 Rfptirt to tliii Worthip the Mayor m the arrangement of Railway traekt on Wext > 
 
 bank of the channel. 
 
 DiAR IBin,-TJieoriginftl nchomo of tho Don Improvompnis had in viow the 
 ' oponing yp of the river to lake or»t^, «o m to affnni, prftotically, im 
 Rd.litional Htrefch of ink« front to tho <;ity, that might \>e uh.«.I Wy 
 manutnctiirerB and ot hern for hnMinoiH purposcn. At the saino timo it wan \^ 
 plium«<l that convenient itreetB Hhouhi run along eithef side o( the Ktrai<gl»t-, 
 eiK'd channel, giving accoHH Ironi the southern to the (joitbern partu of th«» 
 City, and that the lan<l reclaiuJO<l and fonned in tho work of ntruigbtening 
 Hhouhl he iwod for huilding Hites lor siore hout»e«, fiictoricH and buildings of / 
 that nature. Railway sidingn for commercial piirpoHos would he necessary, / 
 and on the first general plan of tho scheme, da e i Auguss IS>0, there is 
 shown on either" eido of the propose<l ohnnnel a flnishe I strip HO feot in 
 »vidth, composed of a railway reserve next to the channel HO feet in width, 
 and a road remervo 50 feet in wi«ftlK Iho railway reserve was intended 
 for sidings that might acco:nmo<late cats loa<lintt from or discharging into 
 laW ve»»«KJW-Cft''s^ '•»*' brought freight to or from wag^rons on the roa.l 
 reiserve This was, iijiparently, the first general idea of the use to be nuulo 
 /of the channel. By a subsofiuent plan, dated < Jotobor, ISKti, and which was 
 signe<l on the 15th January, I8S7, by the contractbrs lor tho works, as 
 correctly showing his work, tho finished strip on either side of tho 
 straightened channel is shown 125 feet in width, made up of a roadway 
 L>3 feet wide next to the channel, two railway reserves 8i<le by side, each 
 26 feet wide, and at tl«o back of all a street or roadway 50 feet wide. 
 
 As yet there have been ho arrangemonta matio for the occupancy of these 
 railway reserves by tracks, nor has any plan been matured that will meet 
 and provide for all the difficulties that must arise in attempting such 
 ^ arrangements. At present we have merely the two 2''i foot railway reserves 
 
 on either side of tho channel to <leal with, and the .piestion that must now 
 be practically answere-l is how to arrange tracks on th6so so as liost to m.-et 
 the traffic and freight requirements of present and future railways ; th* 
 shipping requirements ol vessels plying on tho lake ; the loading and unload- 
 ing^-equnements of those ownmg stores and factories on the immedirttoly 
 adjacent lan<l, as well as of others; while at the same time the ordinary 
 citizen shall have' preserved to him hi- right of access freely along the 
 roadway reserves throughout the whole length of the Improvement. It is 
 not the intention that the banks of the Don shall become mere radwa,y 
 freight yards, but that they shall, as far as possible, be used in the manner 
 originally intended by the protTjoters of the improvement scheme. For the 
 present we have to deal with the railway reserves on the west b»nk only, as 
 there is^o intention at present of laying traclH on thd east bank. The 
 scheme, as first planned, contemplate<l only siding accommodation alongside

 tt^e oh»nn«l, for the purpot* of handling freight. Thia alone wouhl have 
 been eMlIy provided for; but ilnoe then there hM arUen the requett to 
 provide running truoki for the.C. P. R., perhupt the IMtt' Kellwejr, end the 
 0. T. R., M well In order to give tlietu eooem by theae moena to the City enit 
 lake front. The addition of running traoke very much oom|>lloate« the 
 problem of how to arrange the line* and yet prenorvo the rigbti and 
 privilegeii of nil parties. The danger of running traokt iuoh ai these in clone . 
 proximity to the puUio street on one side, and the unloading bank of the 
 channel on the other, orO!i«ed at frequent Intervals by roatlways leading 
 from warehouses to the river, would be very great. 
 
 In wlmievor part of the railway reserve these running tracks are placed, 
 they necessarily cut off the aocoss of the warehouses and street from the 
 channel. Mr Wragge, of the O. T. U„ proposes, in order to mlnimiie the 
 danger from these tracks, that they shoultl be fenced in, a proposal with 
 which Mr. .Jennings, of the C. P. R., agree*!, ami this would, in a most 
 thorough manner, stop, all access to the channel hank, and destroy every 
 chance of using the river for shipping purposes. No doubt this would be a 
 gootl arrangement, having regard only to the convenience of the railways ; 
 but it would not meet the needs of other classes of the po aimunity. Again 
 If the arrangement of the railway reserve were changed so as to place the 
 running tracks at the l)ack of the IJ.'i foot strip, with the street sldings^and 
 unloading bank between them ♦nd the river, access would be preserved to 
 the river from the street, but would be cut off from warehouses, And this 
 would be a serious objection. ' It might be suggested that fho west side of 
 the channel should be left to the railways, ami the east only retained for 
 shipping, the necessary sidings being laid In. Strong reasons, however, can 
 be advanced why this should not be done. The wharf accommodation would 
 be at once reduced to one-half, and that which was reUined would be on the 
 wrong side of the river ; that is, the side farthest from the City. It is most 
 important to the City that all the wharf accommodation possible, and in the 
 most convenient localities, should be retained. Railways maybe moved, 
 wharves not so easily, and nothing should be done that would lightly give 
 away this new wharf ac ommodation that the City is just about, at consid 
 erable cost, to acquire. At the same time, the railway access by the valley 
 of the Don is an extremely valuable franchise for the City to possess, and it 
 will be much to the benefit of the City that it should be used by railways 
 desiring to enter. This is the only available acceas to the City now remaining, 
 and it will be of great importance in the future, that the control of this 
 access should remain, absolutely, in the hands of the City, so that new lines 
 of railway desiring to enter may not be blocked or iiindered, as has been 
 done in time past by rival companies. Though it is proper to keep in mmd 
 and to provide for future contingencies in a matter of so much importance 
 to the City as this, yet temporary arrangements may bei made to suit the 
 present condition of affairs, and to reduce expenditure to what is actually 
 required. Until the Grand Trunk Railway put in a swing bridge to carry 
 their tracks across the mouth of the Don, in place of the present fixed 
 
w 
 
 bri<lg», or until th«y divert their line round \>j Winoheeter 8tre«t — »n<l 
 they aro not likely to do this immedi»t«ly— «nd until ft twinK bridge ia put * 
 ftt the <jue<>n Ktreet oroaning ot the Don, veateU ftr* unable to oome up the 
 river to tftke ft<lvMntftgeot thd wharf iMootntno<Ution that haa been provided. 
 It in thorerore nt^opunary to provide lidinga for the aocoinmn<latinn of veiwols 
 lying in the channel at prenenl. and a tein(K)rAry arrangonient of traoks may 
 be adofited that will omit thi« provicion. 
 
 The running tracks of the rtiilwayt entering the City by th«i Don muMt 
 neceHtarily be on the w<*al si«ie of the river. 
 
 The ftrrangfrnent of trackn proposed by Mr. Jenntnga, on the pari of lh« 
 (fanudinn I'uoitio lUllwiiy, by tin» tracing dated February 7tli, IH8», accom- 
 panying hti letter oi tho uHmo dntey »U6vf» lix traokn on thu railway renerve 
 to tb<> wes* of tliA Don. Thfl I'ih fvet strip is divided in the following 
 manner : '

 .Space tor six lines of railway... ; W *' 
 
 Hoa<l or street ou back of reserve ; 33 " 
 
 ^*i 12.^ feet. 
 
 The six tracks are described in thnifollowmg manner: 
 
 No. 1, riext t|je cliimnel, is for fi-eight siding. 
 
 Xo. "J, for general ]>urpose. 
 
 NoH. 3 nnd 4, running tracks for the C. P. H. 
 
 Xo. .'), for general purpose. 
 
 No. 0, freight siding. ,^ " 
 
 Mr. .lenhingH nsks that tlio truck» Nos, 3 and 4 should be dodicattul to th« 
 exclusive uso and under the abwolutfi control of H)m'('.'^'. K., while the 
 genoral purpose tracks and 8i<lings may bo used iby tlunn and other roads./ 
 r<*«|uirin^ access to tho City. Such an arrangcii)|unt as thlH wauid simply 
 hand over tho Don hnprovcmont t') the railways and place tlu'in und<>r tho 
 control of tliO C. 1'. Ht It wouM \ni im|)ossiblo to do any shipping biisinoss 
 fiom a street 33 feet.wide, across six lines of railway, on two of wliich fast 
 trains werci running baek\Yai'ds and foi-wardp, and it would be oipully 
 impossible for other railways to gain access by the Don vall«>y when the 
 tracks were controlle<l by the 0. P. H. Fortunately, however, such a con. 
 dition of things has boon prevented by tho Act under wliich the Don 
 Improvements have been carried out (49 Vic, Chap. 6r>). Clause 8 of this 
 Act is very distinct, and is of such value on this p otn^ that it is worth while 
 quoting it at length. ^B| jjL 
 
 S. " It shall and may bo lawful for the said Council to make arrangements 
 with any railway company or companies, whereby' any such railway 
 company or companies may acquire the use of the reservation for railway 
 purposes above provided for, upon such conditions as may be agreed upon 
 between the said Council and anj such company or^ companies, provided 
 always that no One railway company shall acquire any exclusive right

 contr')lle.l on the Don Improvement hy the Canadian Pacific Railway offl 
 cialii, UM being the repreHontativei* of the company having most or all to «lo 
 with train work there, yet the City hIiOuUI never lot go itii right at any time, 
 upon giving due notice, to take in hand the management and control of 
 train movements and nwitthing «ervlce on that part owned by the City, 
 viz., from Winchester Htreet to the (hank Trun)c Railway bridge. Only 
 by retaining this right would the City keei) in its hands the power of con- 
 twUing the railway companies running on the Don, and the power of 
 enforcing right and fair tlealing between the different companies. 
 The ikrrangement of tracks proposed by Mr. Jennings occupies much more 
 ' simce than the City should be willing to give up to tho railways. As pointed 
 out before, the running tracks In the mi.ldle would almost prevent any 
 business being done with the wharf, ami if fenced in, as pW>posed, would 
 ettectually do so. For the present, until the scheme is perfected for the 
 admission of vessels to thei^Don, the two running tracks might be placed on 
 the railway reserve, next to the roadway, while two other tracks, one for the 
 accommociation of freight cars being loaded and discharged, and the other for 
 movement a.i<l switching of these cars, might be pliced next to, the street, 
 making four tracks in all. These two siding tracks slipuld be used only f""- 
 the freight business |.roi.er of the Don Improvement and should never be 
 used for storage sidings for empty freight cars: the railway companies 
 should i)rovide, elsewhere, storage sidings for their empty cars. 
 But when the time comes that vessel^; may be admitted to the Don, the 
 only way in which it seems possible that the business of all may be properly

 DuAR Mb. Mavor,— I have your letter of ye»tcrday, and have coiwidereil 
 the questions therein nubinitted to me. 
 
 I do not presume to^advite you or the Council upon luftttern of policy, but' 
 it seems clear to me that the change which hft« been made in the plann of 
 the Don Improvement mav seriously prejudice our position in regard to

 The recent action of the Pro,>«rty Committee, m referring to a>'^itmtion the

 Arbitration in such cases is desirable.

 to embrace in one arbitration all the City property which -^^J^^e. say from 
 Bloor Street to Simcoc Street, including our right of way through the Jail

 along the Esplanade which we have already purchased from various lessees

 I believe that this course will be more satisfactory Tioth to the City Council

 Of course the Company would much prefer that this question of compensa-

 it is thought advisable, we might submit a formal offer to the Council, stating 
 •an annual Pum which the Company would be willing to pay by jyay of a 
 perpetual rental. I suppose that such an offer would be referred to one of 
 the Standing Committees or a Special Committee, and, perhaps, through 
 such a Committee, the compensation could be agreed upon, or a mode for 
 ascertaining it arrived at.

 Dkak Mk. WKr,L8,— 1 beg to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of yesterday 
 in reference to a general arbitration between the City and the C, P. R., 
 reupecting the rental to be paid by the Company on the renewal of the 
 lease of Water Lot 42, east of Bay Street ; and in respect also of all the City 
 property which your Company proposes to take, say from Bloor to Simcoe 
 Street, including your right of way through the Jail farm and along the Don 
 Improvement, and also all the lots and parts of lots alonfg the Esplanade 
 which the C. P. R. has already purchased from various lessees of the City,, 
 and the lots which your CompanJ^ propose to take" between York and 
 Simcoe Streets. . ^ 
 
 I do not quite understand what you mean by " including your right of way 
 along tha Don Improvement." As I understand the "Don Improvement 
 Act" your Counmny can only enter upon that Improvement " upon such 
 
 conditions as may be agreed upon between the Company and the City, and 
 no such agreement can give to any railway company " any exclusive right 
 of property in or control over the Improvement or any part thereof. Section 
 9 of the Act expressly provides that all railways shall be entitled to the use 
 of the Improvement on equal teims. Am I to understand th"at it is now 
 claimed on behalf of the C. P. R. that they have a right to appropriate an 
 absolue estate in the property which has been .taken and improved by the 
 City under the " Don Improvement Act " by the City Corporation. 
 
 Please let me he^r from you before noon on Monday, so that I may lay all 
 the correspondence before the Council at its meeting that evening.

 • Report on the Cost of Finishing the Don Improvements. 
 
 To His Worship the Mayor, Toronto, Ont. : 
 
 Dear Sir, Enclosed we beg to Send you statements of the cost of finishing 
 
 the Don Improvements. As requested by you, we have made three diflferent 
 estimates oif ttis, and the work may be done according to the following 
 :■ schemes: .f ■ . ' 
 
 1. Finishing the improvement at the Cornwall hill to only 75 feet wide, and 
 at the Jail hill to Only 40 feet wide, and leaving out cribbing where the 
 bottom is hard ; and also omitting some dredging of shale rock where shale 
 exists, on the east side of the channel at King Street. 
 
 - jft i . 
 
 1; , , , 'k ■ 
 
2. FJni«hing the Impr«vement on the went bank thcraghout to 125 feet wi«Ie, 
 and on the east bank to the ■ame width, except at the Jail hill, where it 
 will be 75 feet wide, and completing the piling and cribbing in all places. 
 
 3. Finishing the whole Improvement to 125 feet wide, putting in a swing 
 bridge at Eastern Avenue, and a high lev*l swing bridge at Queen Street. 
 purchasing additional land at Queen Street, and dredging entrance to river 
 to 12 feet in depth, so that vessels can come in. -if^ 
 Th^st scheme would cost $17(»,555 5 the second $21 5,400,- and the thir.1 
 
 ^•|i'e first scheme there would be 12 feet depth of water from Gemird 
 B^eet to me Grand Trunk Railway bridge ; but the channel (or a shor 
 distance below Queen Street would not have this depth for the full width t 
 but only for about 40 feet ; the rest of the width of the channel at this place, 
 would have a depth of only eight feet. By the first scheme the Imiuove" 
 ment wouM be only 75 feet wide at the Cornwall hill, and 40 feet wide at 
 tViP .lail hill. ^ ^ -^ ^_ — _ 
 
 By the second scheme the channel would have the full depth of 12 feet and . 
 full wi..th of 120 feet from Gerrard Street to the Grand Trunk Railway. 
 Above Gerrard Stieet it would be eight feet deep and the full width. The 
 Improvement on thej-west side would be 125 feet wide, and on the ea'st side 
 also, except at the Jail hill where it would be 75 feet wide. 
 
 By the third scheme the channel would be finished aa by the second ; the 
 Improvement on each side would be 125 feet wi.le ; swing bri.lges would be 
 erected at Eastern Avenue and King Street, so that vessels could come up 
 as far as Gerrard Street, and railway tracks would be laid on either side of 
 the river the full length of the Improvement. 
 
 The foregoing estimates make no provision for the removal of the Gran<l 
 Trunk Rivilway bridge, or for erecting a swing bridge there. Before the Im- 
 provements can be made use of by ves-els in the manner intended by the 
 pioinotors of the scheme, it is imperative that the Grand Trunk Railway 
 bridge should be converted'ihto a swing bridge, so that vessels might enter. 
 Without this, all the arrangements for wharfage along the banks of the 
 straightened river, and all theexpense of converting the street bridges into 
 swings, would be unavailing.' The river never could be made usp of by 
 vess^lsv The cost of a double-track swing bridge, such as required by the 
 Grand Trunk Railway, would be about f75,00O. In what proportion this 
 cost would be shared between the Railway Company and the City, or 
 whether the whole cost would be borne by the Railway Company, are ques- 
 tions which would have to be referred to the Railway Committee of the Privy 
 Council, assuming that they have jurisdiction in the premises. Besides the 
 first cost above dealt with, th^re is the annual cost of attendance and watch, 
 ing, which, for the eight months of the year during which the bridge won'd 
 have to be tended, would amount to about $1,500. The manner in which

 this annual cost wouM be divided between the City and the Railway Com- 
 pany would al80 be decided by the Railway Committee above referred to. 
 The whole cost of construction and cost of annual watching and iendmg 
 represents a capital sum of tKXMXM); and this, as before stated, is not 
 included in the estimate of Scheme' No. 3. In like manner, the annual cos 
 of tending the swing bridge, at Queen Street and Eastern Avenue has not 
 been considered in the estimate of cost. 
 
 • In the estimate for Scheme No. 3 we have inserted a sum to cover the cost 
 of laying tracks on each side of the river, the full length of the Improvement ; 
 we have allowed for four tracks (two running tracks and two siding toracks) 
 on the west side and three tracks on the east side. As th^ length of the 
 Improvement is IJ miles, this gives a total of 10^ miles of tracks. But m 
 the report that we made to you on the l.Hh of February, 1889 on the arrange 
 ment of tracks on the Improvement, we there pointed out that when 
 vessels were admitted to the, Don it would then be necessary that the 
 
 -Tonmng traokB of the railways should be ^proyidfldJoLun-^'oma-anann^ 
 other, than by placing them on the Improvement; and "« »"8S«^ «« 
 that to do this in a way satisfactory to all parties, and that would 
 respect the rights of all, it would be necessary' to erect »"«!«;¥«« 
 railway for the accommodation of the running tracks. The length of his 
 wouW be about 6,()00 feet, and the cost would be $300,000. The possibility 
 of carrying this idea into effect should be kept in view in estimating the 
 total cost of the completed scheme ; but of course this is a matter for the 
 future rather than the immediate present. 
 
 Respectfully submitted.

 F. Clarke, Eiiq., Mayor of Toronto : 
 
 Dbar Sir,— I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter of the 23r«l iriHt., in' 
 which you say thj»t, as you understand 'the Pon Improvement Act, no agree" 
 ment can give to any railway company any e'?cduB»ve r'ght to property in or 
 control over the Improvement or any part thereof, and you refer to sec. 8 of 
 the Act aa declaring that ail railways shall be entitled to the use of the Im- 
 provement upon equal terras. » • 
 
 The Don Improvement Act provides (sec. 1, sub-seo. 7) for the reseiTAtion 
 of a strip of land next to the margin of the river, not less than 25 feet witle. 
 for railway tracks, switches or sidings, and sec. 8 authorizes the City to make 
 agreements w^th railway companies for the use of these tracks in common, 
 and declares that all raihyays shall be entitled to the use thereof upon equal 
 terms. * 
 
 In other words, the Act provides for not 1<»88 than two loa<ling and unloading 
 tracks, called in the Act '-'switches and sidings," which all railway compa- 
 nies are to have free and equal access to and use of, and for a street 50 feet 
 wide ; but it leav<^8 the. City to deal with the reH of the Improvement as it 
 thinks fit. ; • 
 
 Surely it was ne er contemplated by th^ I.egislatnre, by th*3 City jCauncil or 
 by any one that the main lines of the Canadian Pacific Railway Or of any 
 other company, entering a City like Toronto, should bo over.aijid upon a- 
 cotiple of sidings. It this is the only mode by which the Canadian Pacific 
 Railway ca.i enter I'oronto from the east, the Company would save thueand 
 money by abaafloning the Don branch altogether, travelling Oi^ mliies further ■ 
 and enter a^ it does now, via West Toronto Junption. ^It is ha<l enough for 
 one company to have to use tlio main ,tracks of another ri*1u company for 
 such purposes, ev«n ^^hough the rules of every radway company provide 
 that main tracks .shall always be kept clear, but when it is proposed that the 
 Canadian IMcific Railway Company shall use for its main iracksj a couple of 
 switches or sidings, \vhicli would of course be aUnost constantly! occupied by 
 standing cars, loading and unloading, and by sh'm ting engines, 1 1 think you 
 will admit that the situation would be intolerable. Uneof two things would 
 result frota the attempt to use such tracks for thes^nain line 'of the Com- 
 pany ; the tracks would eithee be useless lo the f.'ompany or useless to the 
 citizens for the purpo.<jes for which they wejre intended, n&mely, for loading 
 and unloading purposes. No ^chenxe could be devised and nb rules made, 
 which would make them 'useful fbr bojth purposes. 
 
 Observe tl4t the Act d($clares that these tracks or sidings shall be used by 
 all railway companies tipon "equal terms." If the Canadito Pacific Rail- 
 way Company is to ave the use of these ^racks for its mainHraffic and is 
 al89 to have the same loading nd unloading^ facilities upon the^ as other 
 railway companies, how is it possible for all companies to use them upon*' 
 "equal terms?" This stipulation shows that these tracks were only in- 
 
 
 
 tended to be used as switches and siUiifgs and not as main tracks.

 UMO of a conplo of flidin;^!*, whioh all otln^r railway eorni)anio9 wero to u«p in 
 ooinnion for loadin;{ and unloadinj; purposos j and when the Mayor and tli.- 
 othor nn'MibiMs of tho doputation wont to Ottawa thoy vvoro, I think, juatiHod 
 in a'^sunung that the Company was to have an indopomlont right of way. 
 The Grand Trunk Company upon that occasion propos«'d.that tli<i Canadian 
 Paeitic Hailway should mako connection with itM main lino either east or 
 west of iu Don bridge, and have running powers from the point of Junction 
 to Homo point near Parliament Street, but tho dciputatioh opposed that 
 proposition strongly. They explained the Don Imi)rovement selienie, exhi- 
 bited Mr. Sankey's jdan, and vigorously conton<lod, as tlioy wero authorize'd, 
 to do by the resolution, that whai the City ro(|uired was an indepemlent 
 right of way along the Don Improvement for tho proposed railway. 
 
 Can it be as.sumed that, while the deputation jojiified-us in rejecting the _ 
 proposal of the Grand Trunk Hailway to use its main line from the Don 
 Kiver' to Parliament Street, it proposed to give us in lieu thereof, an<l make 
 us use A couple of loading and unloading sidings from Winchester Street to 
 Eastern Avenue, a much longer distance ? The first proposition was rejected 
 because it was impracticable and contrary to the si)irit of the resolution of 
 the City Council, whilst the second proposition, if it was thought of at all, 
 was infinitely worse.. . . 
 
 Tlie Board of Tra<ie was no less emphatic upon the question of an independ- 
 ent' right of way. It also sent a deputation to Ottawa. 
 
 At a ('ouncil meeting held on the 30th November, 1887, it was resolved that 
 the Council rfecommenJ'to the .Board that its influence be exercised in the , 
 interests of trade and commerce of the City to procure an independent entry 
 from the east and west for the Canadian Pacific RtfTIway Company. 
 
 On the 2nd December, 18S7, it was again declared by resolution that it was 
 essential in the interests of trade antl commerce that every facility should 
 be atibrded the Canadian Pacific Railway Company for obtaining independent 
 entrance, am\ crossing to the >yater fro?it froni the east and west for the 
 ; transaction of its basinesa. ^- -— -» —

 On tho lUthof April, l«H8, it again, by rcMoliition, dooUroil in fiivoi" of '^tlia 
 impnrtancn of acoonling to the Canudian Pacific liailway ('ompany an intU- 
 pendent entrance to tho east end of the City," and sont anotiter <ie|)iitiktiiiti 
 to Ottawa to aMHint the Company. 
 
 All tliJM in entirely InoonHi.Htent with the notion thiit the Canadian FivniHc 
 Kailwiiy in merely to have what I may doHoribo hh the oocaoional 111*0 *«♦' n 
 ooui»le of iraokH for itH main entrance into the City. 
 
 You alHOOHk me if it in claimed on b^dialf of the rann<Uan Piicifio IJiiilway 
 Coinpatiy tnat they have a right to cjcprrtprinte an ftli((ohito fjHtate iu pro|>orty 
 along the Don Improvmnent In my opinion tho legal right to oKitiopriate 
 the right of way along th(f Don Improvement, iw beyond (jiu'stion, but my 
 letter to you ot tho ^2nd ins t. .was intended railmr as a proposition for n 
 friendly arbitration than as a notice of tho intiiiition of (ho Company to 
 expropriate. 
 
 The Company has hnd so niany proofs of good will from the City Council and 
 has sft many timo^ had its cordial rtupport in its tight for independent and 
 equal rightH. that it fcola (piite oontident that nothing will na^rAni done to 
 hamper or embarraHs it. / 
 
 The present entrance into the City <>f Toronto via Went Toronto Iiinotion, 
 involves, as I have stated, an extra haul of r)^ miles for every train eoining 
 from or going towards the oiiHt, which moans a, very scOious daily expendi 
 turo. To avoid this*extra haul the (.'ompany has almost completed the^ 
 construction ot its Don branch at a cost of about :?.(()' i,()(X), (ixcliisivo of rii^ht 
 of way and land acquired for terminal facilities. It has practically aci|uired 
 its right of way along tho whole lino, from its Junction witli its main line to 
 York Street, o.xcopt tiiis i)iece along the Don Improvement. Itis obviously, 
 therefore, a matter of great importance that as little time as possible bo lost 
 in closing this gap. 
 
 The Company propose a general arbitration, because it has been led t ) ' 
 believe that this, would satisfy the public better'than any other mode ol ] 
 settlement, and it desires in this arbitration to embnice all <|ue,stions relat- 
 ing to compensation, which can possibly arise out of the construction of it.!* 
 Don branch. "The Company neither ft'sks foi- nor desires aii inch of lai)d 
 or a single privilege from the City, except upon the ordinary business prin 
 ciple of paying full and fair value for them." 
 
 I can only pay that the Company will do almost anythina: to meet tlie views 
 of the City in the matter of its right of wayTilong the Don Improvement 
 and otherwise, but 1 need hardly repeat after what I have 8ai<l, that, wher 
 ever this eastern entrance is to be, it is not only of vital importiime but a 
 business necessity that it should be entirely independent. 
 
 I have the honor to be, Sir,
