Lake Erie and Northern Ry.—J. Muir, President, Is reported as stating on his return to Brantford, Ont., Aug. 2, from Montréal, that the financing of the company had been arranged for, and that tenders for the building of the line would be called for immediately. Montréal press reports, Aug. 2, state that a meeting of directors was held in that city on the previous day, when an agreement was concluded with G. W. Farrel & Co. for the purchase of the entire issue of $1,100,000 of 5% first mortgage bonds.

The annual meeting of shareholders will be held in Brantford, Ont., Sept. 4.

We were officially advised Aug. 19, that all of the tenders had not been received for the building of the line from Port Dover, via Brantford, to Galt. It is expected that these will be in and the contract let early in September. The northern portion of the line from Brantford to Galt will be put under construction first and it is hoped to have it completed this year.

Some changes were made in the directorate at the recent meeting of shareholders in Montréal. The board is now constituted as follows:—J. Muir, H. Cockshutt, L. Harris, J. Sanderson, Brantford, Ont.; R. Thompson, Paris, Ont.; F. H. Deacon, Toronto; Mr. Todd, Galt, Ont.; G. W. Farrell, Montréal. (Aug., pg. 421.)
