Toronto and York Radial Ry.—The Grand Jury of the country of York, Oct. 12, returned a true bull against the company for maintaining a common nuisance on its Metropolitan Division. The indictment sets out that the rails are kept at an injurious height above the ground, thereby impending ordinary traffic, and that the company neglects to make proper repairs to its line, thereby causing great inconvenience to the public. The hearing of the case was adjourned until the next Quarter Session.

The Chairman of the Ontario Railway and Municipal Board expressed the opinion, Oct. 7, that the only remedy for the present alleged inadequate service on the Metropolitan Division is to build a second track from the C.P.R. crossing through Glen Grove and the golf grounds. If the Board had power to order it to be done, such an order would be issued.

Toronto tp. council has approved of an agreement made with the T. and Y.R. Ry., settling the question of damages arising from the company's failure to extend its line from Port Credit to the western limits of the township, on the payment of $1,500 cash and a further $1,000 if the line is not so extended within two years.
