Sunnyside crossing, Toronto.—The Board of Railway Commissioners made an order Dec. 10, in regard to the proportionate cost to be borne by the various parties interested in the separation the grades at the Sunnyside crossing, Toronto. For the crossing at the Humber in Etoblcoke tp., the Dominion Government will pay out of the level crossings fund $5,000, and the township $8,000; in York tp. there are three crossings to eliminated will pay $15,000, and the township a like amount; for the work in the city of Toronto the Dominion will contribute $15,000. The balance of the cost is to be divided and paid, one-third by the City of Toronto (so far as the work is in the city) and the remaining two-thirds by the G.T.R. The cost is to be figured out on the basis of a two-track viaduct, and the work has to be completed within two years. The G.T.R. desired to have a proportion of the cost assessed upon the C.P.R. which has running rights over the line, but the Commissioners declined to take any action thereon. The City Engineer of Toronto said the carrying out of the order would mean the doing away of ten level crossings within the limits of the city's authority, for the protection of which it was now paying $3,000 a year.
