Mr. Frank Adams of the Adams Transportation Co, and the handling of al teams and trucks deserves all honor for handling a large and trying proposition in such a masterly manner.

Mr. F.C. Power in charge of Motor cars, although more criticised than anyone connected with Transportation, had the courage to do things in order to keep his thousands of calls supplied, furnishing cars when told by car owners to be had, and I feel that gratitude, not criticism, is due him for duty done.

We moved the thousands of sick, maimed and wounded to an from the Hospitals. The thousands of homeless to shelters. The hundred of dead to the morgue, and from the morgue to their last resting place, the Cemetary. The hundreds of Nurses and Doctors from the trains to the Hospitals and from the Hospitals to places of shelter or to the hotels. And, in considering t his work, please recall the unprecendanted weather conditions under which we were working - blinding snow storm, poring rain, and zero weather, for days on end.

Moving not only building material and glass for temporary repairs, but food, clothing and fuel to the different storehouses and then ce to the shelters or homes of the sufferers.

Steamer cargoes of supplies from the wharves to the distributing warehouses. Hundreds of carload of freight from the freight cars and freight sheds to the merchants, and again from the merchants to the freight sheds, as well as the hundreds of calls for the removal of the effects of the homeless.

We also supplied Transportation to and from the City to 2361 persons who had relatives living in different parts of Canada and the United States and who, being destitute, could not get to them without the necessary transportation, or to Nurses and Doctors who came to the City as Volunteer assistants. (Mr. Major's report attached here will give you this phase of the situation more fully, and I wish to say while on this item that Mr. Major, Mr. W.J. Mahon and Mr. A.F. McIntosh of the Railway ticket Committee rendered valuable assistance to this Committee when t hey took the work entirely off our hands).

We had at our command from December 9th until December 22nd. practically all the privately owned cards and teams in the City, together with donated cars and teams
