New roadbed for Penetang branch.
On Thursday night forty-one cars of gravel were taken from Walker's pit to the Hendrie grade, and at 3 o'clock Friday morning Roadmaster Horner had a number of men engaged unloading the ballast. The gravel was all unloaded by hand and most of it had to be loosened by picks, as it had frozen, making it very difficult. The steam shovel is now in Walker's pit and it is said the whole Penetang branch will have a new roadbed before spring.
