4' Track Near Passenger Station Must Be Taken Up Says City Council. Also Ordered to RetainFlagmen at Poplar and Sprvee Crossings. The Canadian Northern railway will not comply with an order of the city council to remove the spur track near its passenger depot on Lake vard without a fight. Its contention is that it is within the rights of its franchise in maintaining the spur track at its present location and the order of the council will probably ceive no attention. The removal of the spur track was ordered on the representation of Lake boulevard property owners who clared it a nuisance because switch engines were allowed to stand on it all night and the smoke from them grimed adjoining residence property and for the further reason, that the noise of escaping steam and carmen making repairs rudely disturbed their slumbers.

The track has been used to park pri vate cars, by switch engines from the West Virginia yards during the switchmen's lunch hours and in ing switches on passenger trains. The Canadian Northern holds that its franchise does not give it the right to construct spur tracks for freight service but that it has a right to maintain the spur to facilitate the handling of its passenger trains. In the meantime orders have been issued that switch engines must not stand near the depot. There were rumors of injunction proceedings Tuesday, but local officials were non-committal ther than to say that the removal of the spur track would considerably convenience them. The Canadian Northern was also ordered to keep crossing watchmen at the Poplar and Spruce street ings at Tuesday night's meeting.

It is held that the unguarded condition of these crossings is a menace to the public safety. ALDERMEN RETURN FROM ST.
