Engineer’s Statement. Engineer Mansfield of the Gilt Edge in his testimony testified that before STONINGTON Handcome New Residence for Mrs. Frank F, Dodge—Sudden Death of Mrs. Daniel Gilmore, -~ Ahother handsome residence, design- ed by an architect from Boston, is to be erected in_Stonington for Mrs. Frank Foster Dodge, and bids for thé work have been cloged. ‘It will be a two-story and one-half house, 40x76 feet, with nine rooms, sun parlor, buf ler's pantry and four bath rooms.

Althost at the same time that he.saw the first home signal set at red he noticed the trainman on the track swinging his red signal. Fireman King of ghe'Gilt Edge tes- tified that Mansfild called - out the customary “highball” meaning safe or green when he passed the distant sig- nal and that he saw that it was so set and the first home signal was set at red. Engineer Mansfield further testified that' as soon as he 3aw the red or danger signals that he capplied his sand and emergency brakes and did all in his power to bring his train to a, stop.

From the testimony I fail to find anything which bears out Mansfield's testimony that the distant or caution- ary signal was set at green or safety but on the contrary ‘the testimony shows that with the first home signal set at red or danger it was impossible to set the distant at green, but that it must have been set at yellow or caution. Examination and inspection of these signals since the accident show no defect or difficulty in the op- eration of them and it has been found impossible to in any way operate them so that the distant would be set at green and the first home at red. This testimony, together with the tests and examinations, compel me to regch the conclusion that Engineer Mansfield’s contention is not support- ed but on the contrary that he ran by the signals when they were properly set against him. % Failed to See Red Light. Moreover, even if the engineer by mistake ran by the distant or caution- ary signal there appears to be no reason why, if he was watching his track, he did not see the red light of the first home signal as the track is straight for a distance of almost a mile at this particular point. Cer- tainly the engineer could, had he been looking, see.the'red light of the first home signal several hundred feet be- and children as well.

There seems to be no excuse both for running by the distant and also not seeing the first {xLome signal set at red until he reached Held Responsible. After a careful review of all the tesiimony I am convinced and find that s2id Charles Mansfield failed to take due and proper notice of the sig- nals that were properly set -against him and that as a result of such fail- ure and carelessness on his part the death of said Janet Clarke must be at- tributed.

The committee is composed of Charles J. Butler, Everett Barns and Chief En. gineer Samuel G. Cottrell. Chairman Butler submitted the report of the committee, in which they said: After looking over thoroughly sev- eral machines, the committee was of the opinion that the Maxim was the best suited to the needs of this de- partment. Your eommittee alsoh has received approximate prices on several other machines. The White machine offers a chassis and engine of 60 horse power for $4500, they also make the offer that if the district will allow them ta exhibit this machine for one week in Boston and for one week in Prov dence they will transfer the present equipment on the hoock and ladder truck to their machine without extra cost. The Sengraves people offer their machine of approximately the same power for like sum. The Maxim people have offered a specification herewith attached for $4200 on which they will make allow- ances for the present equipment. The Kelly Springfield company offer of $2900 for a machine of 22 horse power which we do not think would be good judgment to consider at all as the power is not adequate for a ma- chine of this kind.
