Tuesday, Nov. 25

Council met this morning—the Warden in the chair.

After routine, the question of instructions to the County Solicitor to issue a write to compel the Metropolitan Co. to provide and equip four first class cars, and to operate the same as requested by the engineer, came up for discussion in a clause in the report of the Com. of County Property. The clause reads:—We have been endeavoring to secure for the people better accommodation on the Metropolitan Railway, but so far without much success. We found fine cars in the course of construction in the Toronto Railway shops, which we were informed, were for the Metropolitan Railway, but for some reason they have not been finished or put on the road. We notified the company to put cushions on the seats of the old cars, and put on an extra car at 5.40 p.m. when the regular car is crowded. We received a letter from the manager agreeing to these demands, and we understand a trailer was put on at 5.40 p.m., one day, when there was no crowd, and there unnecessary, but no cushions have been furnished.
