York County Council—Thursday.

...

At the morning session manager Moyes of the Metropolitan was present to answer the charges made against the railway company on Wednesday. Mr. Moyes said that the new cars were taken off in order that they may be installed with new heating appliances. A $400 contract had been given a Toronto firm, but when they came to deliver the parts it was found that some were incorrect. The new cars would be put on when completed. As to the installation of a telephone system between stations and switches, he said the company was making experiments, but he did not think the safety of the travelling public would be increased thereby. He did not know that the steam engine from the Schomberg line shunted on the electric road. He would dismiss any employe responsible for it if such was the case. On one occasion the engine had been taken to the power house for repairs and had been taken back by a motor.
