GLENBROOK RAILWAY STATION.
t '
"Justice" points out that a Liberal seat
'is' in danger; — 7'.:.
/'While the site of the new railway station
at Glenbrook is hanging in the balance, it
would, perhaps, not be out of place to point
to the great injustice that will be done to
the: majority of property owners, who have
not bought land for speculation -but for resi
dential purposes, If the station is fixed for
the proposed site on plans that have ap
peared so far. It is a fact that originally
the. engineers chose as the ibest position the
site at the bottom of Lennox-street, or New
born's Cutting, which has -everything to re
commend it, being absolutely central. It is
Crown land, and has a good approach. Since
then. the site has been altered twice to a
point which appears to be' of no advantage
to the general public. This means an added
expense to the department for resumption
of land, and making of a very rough road,
besides taking thousands of tons of material
to fill in the plateau for tho station, and
which also leaves completely out' of the
question the north-eastern and north-western
portions of the village. If this is true, a
more glaring case of mismanagement would
be difficult to find. If the position were the
best for tho majority and for the Railway
Department .anyone possessing that public
spirit, which should be a predominant char
acteristic of all good citizens, .would be con
tent to sink tho personal equation and accept
f\n unfortunate position with resignation; as,
however, this is not the case, there must'be
a feeling of indignation at -the injustice of
:the wholo affair. The Chief Railway Com
missioner has recently visited Glenbrook for
the purpose of satisfying himself as to the
best location, and we have enough faith in
a Britisher, who is not to 'be bought, to feel
that justice will be done without fear or
favor. Ono would like to ask what has be
come of our member? How can he expect
future support when he sits back when
prompt action Is required for the majority
of his constituents here? The chances for the
Liberal seat at the next general election will
largely, depend on how this matter ends; of
this the party can rest assured,"
- "What it the .matter with .Tones? He used to be a
modest sort of fellow, but lately he soems almost burst
ing with sclMmportancc." -'Haven't yon heard? Mrs
Jones is auing another women for alienating his affec
tions, end puts tho damages at OO.OOOdol."
