I have to inform you that the northern yard entrance gate was closed against traffic on account of read requiring repairs, ard the delay in re-opening is due to Eh-rtagc of melal. We have been expecting this daily ard it should arrive at any time. "In connection with this matter I would like to point out that the road in question was an addition to original plans and waa provided with a view of affording a means of entering (he yard at one end and departing the cthsr. It was r.ever intended to carry the wrrole of traffic to and frcm the station. A fi'st-class ruad was provided fiom the west tide of yard, but so Ion? as northern road wa3 in a lit Etate to permit of it, practically thu whtle of traffic went over it, and tha other road, which is a bitter one, was almost totally neglected.
