London improvements.—The reports that all negotiations are off between the G.T.R. and the London City Council respecting the raising of the tracks and the carrying out of other improvements at London, Ont., while correct to a great extent, were not positively so. It was stated June 20 that there was a desire apparent on both sides to get together and to come to an arrangement. The general plans have been approved by the council, and the only point of difference is that the G.T.R. made it a condition that $300,000 should be paid by the city towards the cost of carrying out the track elevation. A majority of the city council expressed themselves against making any such payment, and the G.T.R. officials said no subsidy no improvements. (May, pg. 271.)
