Canadian Northern railway construction.
Additional land and buildings have been secured fronting Toronto and Court streets, Toronto, in the rear of the present office building at the corner of King and Toronto streets, for office purposes. The present office building is already overcrowded with the staffs of the C.N. Ry., and the other lines under construction for Mackenzie, Mann & Co.'s systems, and the offices of some of these will be transferred to the newly acquired property.
A large purchase of land has been made in the east end of Toronto, for railway terminals for the Mackenzie, Mann & Co.'s line, which will enter the city by the James Bay Ry., now under construction. The property acquired is in the area bounded by Front St., Eastern Ave., Cherry St. and Trinity St. Upon the site the company will erect a large freight shed with the necessary yards. Some other interests are reported to be associated with the purchase, and it is said that this company proposes to erect workmen's dwellings on its portion.
