Bay of Quinte.—At the last session of the Dominion Parliament an act was passed extending the time for the completion of this railway for 5 years from the passing of the act. The Co. was also given extensive powers in regard to carrying on the business of generating & distributing electric power & energy & other motive power, also in regard to carrying on mining & timber business, & to deal in letters patent, franchises or patent rights. The bill as originally introduced met with some opposition in regard to the place & date of holding annual meetings. The head office was fixed at Deseronto, the directors being given power to change it by by-law. The annual meeting is to be held on the second Monday in Sep. of each year.

Between Deseronto & Deseronto Jct., about 4 miles, 65 lbs. rails are being put down in place of 50-lbs. ones.
