The Sunt. <br />of Public Works and the Clerk were also <br />present. <br />Mr. Francis Chamberlain reported that <br />he attended the meeting at the Hotel <br />Statler on electrification of Railroads, <br />Meeting at <br />and there seemed to be some misunderstanding <br />Hotel Statler <br />relative to where the hearing was to be held. <br />For toot reason a great deal of time was <br />wasted. Finally he located a man who <br />informed him that a man named Kelley was <br />interested in consolidating the south and north <br />Stations; it appeared to be a pet scheme of <br />this man. <br />He therefore felt that this meeting was <br />nothing that the Board would be interested in. <br />Mr. Russell I.
