Mr. Haseldeii, chairman of the Hoard, said if this procedure were adopted in appeals' the better way would be to call a public meeting of all railway servants at the Bluff and take a vote as to whether Sweeney was a good man or not. In dismissing the appeal and intimating that the Board would probably suggest Sweeney's transference, Mr. Haseldeii s*iel unless appellant in such cases' as the present could show that a certificate was withheld from corrupt or improper motives he would be unsuccessful.
