Lake Erie and Northern Ry.—The terminal facilities for this line in Galt, Ot., are being laid out, with a view of having everything ready for the opening of the section from Brantford, early next spring. The buildings consist of a brick station, and freight house, and six tracks are being laid in the yard. About 14 miles of grading has been completed between Brantford and Galt, some miles of steel have been laid, and a ballasting gang is working from the Galt end.

Considerable progress has been made in Brantford, where some heavy work is being done at Jubilee Terrace and Lorne Bridge. The bridge is to be raised seven feet. A good deal of the trestle work through the city has been completed.

Good progress is being made with construction on the line from Brantford to Port Dover. The Board of Railway Commissioners, Oct. 10, granted the company the right to use the G.T.R. harbor at Port Dover. (Oct., pg. 475.)

A contract was entered into, Nov. 8, between the Dominion Government and the company, under the provisions of the act granting aid to certain railways, for the building of a line from Galt to Port Dover, Ont., not exceeding 85 miles.
