The Belt Line.—The G.T.R. is reported to have purchased the old Lander homestead just west of the Toronto and York Radial Ry. west of Yonge St., and bordering on the old belt line. It is stated that the object of the purchase is to construct a yard there to be used in connection with the old station and yard on the east side of Yonge St. The purchase has revived the stories of a reconstruction of the old belt line, and its utilization for freight purposes between the yards at Mimico and at East York. The company's officials state that no good object would be at present attained by the reconstruction of the belt line. The only use of the line at present is that the eastern portion can be used as a siding for stock cars at the eastern end.

Railways: G.T.Ry., T. & Y.Rad.Ry.
