Editor News -Record. --Your re- mark last week that "the Grand Crunit has certainly not spent much money on its station here" suggests a statement •that inay, even at this time, be ^of interest to the people of Clinton, Same years ago the Grand Trunk authorities decided to build a eawv station alit Clinton, but pro, posed putting it at the Y ---where the L. II, s B and G. !I', It, arose, In MEN'S STORE Custom Tailoring and (Phone 103) Men's Furnishings OPPOSITE PUBLIC LIBRARY edition they offered to grade and macadamize the road leading there- from to one of the main roads of town, at their own expense. The matter was laid before the Town Council, as the railroad wanted the sanction of the Council, but that body rejected the proposition, a ma- jority of the members being opposed to having the station moved. The matter was then dropped by the rail- road, but later myself and the late Thomas Jackson, Jr. waited upon a prominent Grand Trunk official at his office in Toronto, and' urged the necessity of their building a new sta- tion at Clinton. While we were cor- dially received and the matter freely discussed, the answer we,got was in these words: "We made an approv, priation of $5000 for a new station at Clinton, intending to erect a neat brick building at the Y as we think that is where the station should be, under the circumstancs. But the Council objected to our putting it there, although it costs us nearly five thousand dollars a year to back our trains in. Now that five .thousand ap- propriation has been used for other purposes, and we'll not build a new station at Clinton until the present one tumbles down. But when we do build it will be at the Y." This may explain why so little is being spent on the present station. Yours,—Robt. Holmes. (Yes. We have always understood that the G. T. R. was determined not to build a new station on the stand of the old one. But we do not think that sufficient excuse for the Company's total disregard for the comfort of the travelling public et an important junction like Clinton. `The sooner the old station "tumbles down" the better.
