streets, the rest of the line to be on
private right of way owned by the
company paralleling East First street.

those streets. It will also be Insisted
that a common-user feature be insert
ed in the permit.

resclution. which was adopted, ask
ing that the Government resurvey the
Mnck claim, at St, Johns, which has
been offered to the city and regarding
which ther- is a contest pending.
Dealing with the East Side switch
ing situation. Commissioner Kellaher
said Jio had been informed that the
railroads were willing to have either
the city or one of the lines undertake
al switching in the city on a belt line
system, so as to save the expense of
etch maintaining engines and crews
for the work. It was moved that the
railroad officials be asked if such a
step was contemplated seriously.

ized to proceed with certain repairs at
dock No. 3. St. Johns, which are esti
mated to cost $100.
