Grand Trunk Ry.—The Dominion Parliament has granted an extension of five years for building of the Lachine, Jacques Cartier, and Maisonneuve Ry. The projected route of the line is from the G.T.R. in Lachine parish, passing in the rear of Mount Royal to Hochelaga Ward, Montréal, or to the Maisonneuve, with power to extend the line from the starting point to Dorval in one direction, and to the northern end of the Montréal Island in the other. This is a G.T.R. subsidiary, the company having been incorporated in 1909, and declared a work for the general advantage of Canada in 1911. The company has experienced considerable difficulty in securing its right of way, largely on account of the number of street crossings. It is reported that all difficulties have been cleared up, and that construction may be started next year. (Aug., pg. 306.)
