The first matter for consideration

Improvement of South Jersey street
wiin board walks. It was reported
that tlio remonstrance would bo

cil that the city could not enter Inlti

Alderman Doblo suggested that
quest him to close the front with

finish It, nnd to make tho sidewalk

Alderman Doblo proposed the In
Blnllatlou of telephone signal for tho
police similar to that In effect In
Vancouver, lloferred to tho street
committee. This signal consists of
n red light at tho city hall and an
other In front of the bank on Jersey
street, so that when the telephone
central has 11 call for tho police tho

STATION NAMED ST. JOHNS
The Hill Road Has Made No Tie-Up With the 0. R.
& N. as Was Stated Several Weeks Ago
We were recently informed, or
rather, misinformed, that the O. R.
& N. nnd the North Hank Road
had .set their plans nnd commenced
the construction of a joint station
at Mncglcy junction, and that
the former road will not put in a
station nt St. Johns. The report
came so direct trom those iu au
thority that we believed and not
having time then to run the matter
down we nave it publicity. Since
then we have made inquiry and
have learned that the Hill road has
not made a tie-up with the O. R.
& N., nnd has no intention so to
do. Iu fact, their depot is tilaced
where such tin arrangement would
be impracticable.
We have also learned further that
M ace ley junction beimr the nearest !
point to St. Johns the company
named tne station bt. Johns, instead
of Maculey. North Portland or nnv '

objection on the part of n few nt !
.Maegley, who thought the station
intends putting n line down to our
water front as soon as the business
warrants, it would evidently be to
our interest to put the heaviest ton
nage of freight on that road at our
command.

us a depot and had the plans all

the whole proposition, It is 11 very
poor way to win the patronage of n
section of country. If we cannot
get the O. R. it N. to put iu their
depot, the only thing we have loft
us is to make it possible for the
Hill road to come on iu. If our
business men would tet tonetheron
011 this matter they would be able
to accomplish a great deal for St.
Johns.
