Canadian Railway and Marine World forJan., 1912, contained a very complete il-lustrated description of the newGeorgian Bay terminal at Port McNicoll, Emergency Valve Locat on The Board of Railway Commissioners atits sittings in Ottawa, Jan. 7, considered theadvisability of standardizing the position ofthe emergency valve on passenger cars. Inthe course of the hearing, the standards ofthe different lines were outlined. On the , the emergency valve is lo-cated in the lavatory, with the handle ex-tending out through the bulkhead, where itis readily accessible from the body of thecar, meeting the contention raised that thevalve and handle are both frequently lo-cated in the lavatory.
