COVERED SL -- Train Over Kingston and Pembroke Railway Came Through Some Big vifts on Thursday Afternoon | Made Good Time in Spite of the Adverse Conditions iri Completely covered over with mow, ® on the Kingston and Fem- Way, arriving in the city on Thursday afternoon, presented quite a sight. The engine gave every evidence of having been in a bad storm, and the train crew reported that they had encountered quite a heavy gale on theirrtrip in from. Sharbot Lake. The trouble was caused by drifting snow, There was a very strong wind, and this caused the mow to drift inte the cats, In spite of the fact that there was heavy gale, the train made good time into the city, and was only about half an hour late, remarkably good tims for such weather. Engineer James Col- lines was in charge, and when he pop- ped his head out of the cab, he look ed as if he was running a "mow en- gine."

He claimed that property owners were re- quired by by-law to make their walks safe in slippery weather "What right has the city engineer to sand the walks »" asked Ald. Bail- ey. The, engineer's department is being knocked for not sanciag the walks when it is not to blame. Ald.
