Aux. 30. i947, from in- juries racelgccl while a passenger on an Eastern coach Lines bus de- molished in a. collision with a C. N. R. extra freight train."

The jury recommended "greater care on the part of proper auth- orities in removing woods and all other obstacles obstructing the view in the vicinity of such cross- ings. Also enforcement of the reg- ulations requiring bus drivers to stop at railway crossings.” Coroner Dr. I. J. Yeo presided at the inquest which was held in the City Hall.

The jury comprised: George W. McLeod (foreman), Merritt For- sytha, William J. McDonald, Wil- llam Hughes, Harold Hardy, By- r0n Brown, and Hawley Crockett. G. R. Holmes, 22.0., representing the Crown, conducted the examin- ation of the witnesses.

By LOUIS NEVIN PARIS. Séllt. 5~(AP) -S:>Cial- ist Premier Paul Ramndier won a slim vote of confidence in the Na- tional Assembly today and began work with h'is cabinet to prepare what was caled an "urgent econ- omic program" deslsned to ease France's economic situation.

A communique said the cabinet agio 7135 preparing a plan of "Eur- opean collaboration" based on the wot-k or the Marshall plan con- ference.

minutes later. The cause of death was a fracture on right side of skull.

Mr. Holmes-"You are acquaint- ed with that section of the coun- try. Doctor. What is the location of the crossing where the accident occurred?"

Wftness-"The crossing is about one mile this side of Wilmot Sta- tion."

Mr. I-Iolmes-"What. would you say as to clearnass of view in ap- proaching the crossing?"

Witness-"The crossing la very difficult to see on tire way going east. It is west from Wilmot cross- ing."

"What is the grade of road like when approaching the crossing as the bus was approaching it?"

"There ia a slight upgrade just before you come to the crossing."

Mr. A. B. Cutcliffe, undertaker, said the body of a woman, who had died in the P. E. Island H06- pitsl l. few hours before, was brought to his undertaking parlors about 8.30, last Saturday night The body was identified as that of Mrs. Annie Ambrose Mitchell by her son-in-law, Mr. Joseph Mc- Donald of Montague, and later by the husband and son who had come from New Glasgow.

Was Quarter of Mlle Away

Mr. John O'Connor, who lives in the Gladstone district near the scene of the accident_ said he was about one-quarter mile from the crossing when he saw the train coming and also the bus.

Witness rushed to the scene where several people were lying on the ground. The front end of the bus was cut oft with one woman still in it. The engine was off the track. Witness said he heard the engine blow and was positive the bus had not stopped before striking the train. Witness helped to re- move the injured.

The evidence of James O'Connor was a corroboration of that given by his father, the previous wit- ness. He. also, had heard the train blow. He could not say how many limes. He was sure the bus did not atop before it came to the crossing.

Did Not Hear Train Blow

Mr. Edward Muttart of Glad- stone sald he was a passenger on the bus at the time of the accl- dent and had escaped with a few bruises. Witness did not hear the train blow at the crossing. The bus did no stop He was seated in the rear of the bus over the left rear wheel. With the impact, the witness was thrown over the
