Vancouver Island.—A line has been located for 100 miles from the gorge at Victoria to Barkley Sound and has been approved for the first 10 miles. The gradient is 1 1/2% compensated; the curvature is fairly heavy and in some cases has been sacrificed in order to obtain this gradient. The highest summit is 800 ft.
A Victoria dispatch, Dec. 19, says tenders have been asked for the first section of the Vancouver Island line, the work to be completed in 1911. (Dec, 1910, pg. 1031.)
