Under the Second heading (2) POST AND)

11.

BRACKETS it is stipulated that centre posts should not be used

without the consent of the Board of Trade.

As you are aware I have already represented

to you the inconvenience caused by the obstruction of posts at

curves, and having obtained your permission, have removed from

such positions all centre poles that could possibly be done

without. I am of opinion that a great public benefit has

accrued.

Under the third heading 3. PERMANENT WAY

a rail section weighing not less than 90 lbs. to the yard is

recommended. The existing rail weighs 83 lbs. to the yard and

in view of the substantial track construction of solid concrete,

and as the cars are single deck only, I consider this section

of rail sufficient for all practical purposes.

(4). CARS. In the third paragraph it is

stated that of existing types of life guard the "trigger"

pattern is preferred.
