City AMy. Thorr.as W. Slirl; served a practical ultimatum upon the (Irand Trunk when he declared that the city would not rest -until the tracks wrro re moved from Division f-t., and the loard hacked him ly Il.itly rrfusir. the consideration of a track elevation plan whic h contemplates thf retention of the Division t. rlffht of way. In tho course of the conference the Pennsylvania r.'-pr sentative announced that if the elevation and depot plans involved too much expenditure on the part of the Vanilali i line, this spur of the Pennsylvania system would !e abandoned so far as South pen, I U concerned. Track Situation Main JucMlon. The principal question discussed, however, was relative to the situation of the Crand Trunk tracks. Oty Atty. Slick Informed the railroad men from th- Grand Trunk that action must follow immediately or omethin: will le done to force a move of the railroad heads-. "We have been working en th proposition for the act pine year.: of petting the railroad off Division ft., hince it is a detriment to tratlio on that thoroughfare nnd a d if-trta" to a city of this si7r Ve .ir not asking for action without time to study the matter, but have riven the road nine years to make a report to the city recardlntr the atuatiou.

Mr. (Joeing stated that such anelevation could be made on Division st.. that vehicles could travel under It and on either side. This, howev r. Is not satisfactory to the hoard and the members refused to consider It. It was supyrested that the board pet Vice Pres t W. D. Kobb of Montreal before them In order that they pet sornethfr decisive accomplished. Arrangements will he r. ade to havo Vice Pres t Itobh appear before the. hoard April 1. In the meantime engineers of the railroads will work in conjunction with the city engineer and formulate liure. fron which they can work. Mr. Goeinp; informed the board that the company has at present contracted for $ 10,000,000 worth of elevations and depressions on the roads and do not feel that they arc able to ko to a bip; expenditure In this city. Dirty Mttlo Depot. In reply Slick said.' "Th Grand Trtmk has never been aMe to jret together with the city on any proposition, but have always found means to stay the hearings off. They have maintained, for years a dirty, dinky little depot for pavsenpers and have never as much as made it anythlnt? but a disgrace for the vicinity in which it is located." As to the best and most convenient location for a union depot a number of suppes.tions were made. One, which appeared to hold the best hearing v.-a a near the Intersection of Mü hierin and South sts. This location would necessitate the detourinr of the Grand Trunk and the Pennsylvania. The- Pennsylvania represeMtative in speakinp of the Union depot matter stated that his roid was Roiir to wait until the others Tirol deejded upon a location and would then take the matter up. May Irf'sivo City. "As a matter of fact," he said, "we may pull out of the city altogether rüid disfontinuo our line if neresrary. Vv"e do not nro to rab-e a question at this time but will wait until the other roids have had their say and after a location has been derided on for a union depot, then we will decide whether or not wo will stay in the city." Another location for a union depot w.is suppested on Divisjon rt.. where the Grand Trim; intersects with th New York Central. It was pointed out y New York Central representatives that ditlieulties could bo worked out for a station at this place better than any other. This would r. ce.sitate the Pennsylvania etendinp its line through the Oliver plant oi in back of it. while tho other roads, would not need to be moved. The hoard did not speal; favorably of this location as if would not necesarily force tho flrarul Trunk to detour from Division st., which isthe bip p-lnt which they hope to accomplish.
