 OFFICE OF THE ENGINEER IN CHIEF, 
 
 Queber, September m, 1874. 
 ^Ir. rilE.SIDENT, 
 
 Roforring to a Report under date of August V^ih i^^. 
 ^n^n the location or the W.^^^^^ 
 
 Boaul ol Directors at it. last monthly meetino- in ., u u 
 -port it was respectfully recommeifdcT lb th 
 therein stifpH +l,of +u / .• ""^'""^^' ^or the reasons 
 stated, that the location of the line as adopted at 
 
engineer's reports on location 
 
 Avithin the limits of the City of Quebec ; and I therefore, 
 deem it my duty to most respectfully but earnestly request 
 that the Board will give this matter its further and most 
 careful re-consideration before it shall become too late to 
 do so. 
 
 If the Board however, shall finally detiu-mino to adhere 
 to tho location through Brince Edward street, I would 
 most respectfully recommend that the line be changed 
 between St. Bauls Market and Prince Edward street, 
 so as to conform to the dotted red line as shown upon 
 the map above referred to ; and that the Company apply to 
 the City Council for the right to occupy the lands colored 
 green upon this map, so far as it may be found neces- 
 sary to do so, in lieu of, or in addition to the lands already 
 granted to the Company by the City Council. 
 
 My reasons for making the above recommendation at 
 the present time, may be briefly stated as follows : 
 
 1. By referring to my report of July 9th, 1874, " Upon 
 the location of the line within and near the City of Quebec," 
 it will be seen that the location in Prince Edward street 
 was recommended upon the supposition that the work 
 shops of the Company would be located upon " Block C," 
 as shown upon the map occompanying that Report; n^ifl 
 also upon the further supposition, that the line would be 
 carried in the rear, or upon the r;ver front of the General 
 Hospital grounds. 
 
 Since the approval by the Board of the location then 
 recommended, it has been ascertained that neither of these 
 suppositions can be realized without great trouble and 
 expense to the Railway Company ; and hence it was, that 
 a change in the location was recommended in my Report 
 of August 13th, 1874. 
 
 2. It will further be seen, by referring to the map datel

 Authorities than is provided for upon that map 
 
 3. By adopting the line now recommended and shown 
 n»n the map, dated i3th August, 1874, it will be observed 
 that It approaches considerably nearer to the inner ano-Ie 
 "the h,arbor. and thus saves the unnecessary oxpense°„f 
 ft Img up the outer portion of the harbor for the purpose 
 oferecting work shops; and it also saves the expense of 
 coitstructing a large amount of wharfing in deep water. 
 Mluch, by the terms of the City t)rdinance, the Company 
 .s bound to do, in consideration for the wharfage room 
 taken from the City.

 unut li.ed for any purpose ; whereas the grounds desi-! 
 nated upon the map dated August 1.3th, include this trian^fe 
 and make it useful for siding.s, &:e. ° '

 be found in passing through Prince Edward street, as I 
 have much reason to fear there will be, the line now re- 
 commended may be easily turned into Commissioners 
 
4 engineer's reports on location 
 
 Htreet, whereas this cannot be done within reasonal)le 
 limits of curvature, if the line as now located is adhered to. 
 
 7. The line as now recommended affords a considerably 
 longer tangent extending outward from the passenger 
 station, than the one shown upon the map dated July 9th, 
 1874, which will be found of great value in the workino- 
 of the road. 
 
 8. It will be observed that the line, as located on 9th 
 July, passes along the western boundary of Prince Edward 
 street, thus making it necessary for the Company, before 
 commencing work at that point, to purchase this entire 
 front at a price which will compensate the owners for 
 being deprived of the use of the street, except at the street 
 <'rossings. Whereas the line now recommended passes 
 through the center of the street, thus leaving the question 
 of damages, if any, to adjoining property, to be settled 
 hereafter. 
 
 9. If any change is made in the location, near the com- 
 mencement of the road, it is important that it be done 
 before work is commenced upon the station buildings ; and 
 on that account an early decision of this question is very 
 desirable. 
 
 I have traced, in a broken " blue " line upon the map 
 accompanying my report of August 13th, the line as 
 located, by Resolution of the Board on July 9th 1874 ; 
 also the boundary of the lands already granted to the 
 Eailway Company, by the City of Quebec. 
 
 The Contract provides " that the most direct and prac- 
 ticable route of which the capabilities of the Country will 
 reasonably admit, shall be adopted, both for the Main 
 Line and Branch. " 
 
 The Specifications also provide that " the location of the 
 Jine and the arrangement of grades between the initial and 
 
WITHIN AND NEAR THE CITV OF QUEnEC. 
 
 5 
 
 terminal points, will be made under the direction of the 
 lilngineer in Chiei: and !sul>i,.ct to the ai)provaI of the Board 
 ol' Directors oi' .said Company. " 
 
 Havino-, as belbre stated, recommended a location on 
 the 9th July 1874, which was based upon a supposed stale 
 of things which, it has since been ascertained, does not 
 exi't; and havinu' since become fully satisfied that the 
 Ix'st interests of the Company will be promoted l)y a 
 chang-e in that location ; and inasmuch as no money ha.s 
 been expended upon, nor public record made of the former 
 location, and no trouble can now be ii volved by makinu- 
 the change, except to apply to the Ci'y Council for the 
 neces^nry ad litional grounds for terminal purposes, I have 
 therefore de< med it to be within the strict line of my 
 duty, lirst to ^ ecommend a change to be made in the loca- 
 tion, from Pri ice Edward street, to Commissioner's street, 
 for the reasons stated in my Keport of August 13th ; and 
 having failed in satisfying the Board of the propriety of 
 making that change, to now recommend a change in the 
 manner of entering and passing through Trince Ed ..rd 
 street, for the reasons stated in the present report. 
 
 Having thus performed my duty to the Company, th.? 
 matter is now left in the hands of the President. 
 
 I have the honor to remain, 
 Mv. President, 
 Your obedient Servant, 
 SILAS SEYMOUR,
