Description | Our council has four sergeants deployed at particular spots. Therefore, at the time of departure and arrival time of trains, they shall not leave their spots and go to the station. It is thus obvious that this task can be carried out by the police officers and gendermaries located there. Nonetheless, it has been observed that there are no porters, carriage drivers or restaurateurs creating trouble or difficulty for passengers, that this is also caused by the fact that the station does not lead to the gate and rooms reserved for passengers. If deemed suitable, it is appropriate to notify in reply that the said places be left open to people seeing off or welcoming passengers, and to relegate the matter to the Police Department in order to prevent the congestion of carriage drivers, porters and restaurateurs and to take necessary action in respect of the issues stated in this letter. The 11th of Agustos (1)314 (23rd of August 1898). |
