G.T.R. betterments, construction, etc.

...

The yard improvements at Toronto and Mimico are nearly completed, but there are still some large works being arranged for. Apart from the erection of the new Union Station, the question of the re-arrangement of the tracks both east and west of Toronto is being discussed between the company's officials and the city council. The matter was recently discussed by the Mayor and C. M. Hays, Second Vice-President and General Manager, the latter of whom expressed an opinion that the city ought to pay one-half of the cost of street crossings. The section of the work particularly under discussion was the proposed depression of the tracks between Bathurst St. and Sunnyside, and the elevation of the tracks from Sunnyside to the Humber. There is some talk of surveys having been made for a line from Weston to Beeton, and the construction by the G.T.R. of the projected line between Meaford and Owen Sound; this would give the G.T.R. a direct line from Toronto to Owen Sound, as it has already a line between Beeton and Meaford, via Collingwood.
