Lake Erie & Northern Ry.—The Brantford, Ont., City Council granted a permit, Aug. 11, for the erection of the new Union station, an illustrated description of which appeared in our June issue, pg. 240. The estimated cost of the building is $25,000, the contractors being Schultz Bros., Limited. The work of putting in the foundations has been in progress for some time. The permit was issued subject to the company carrying out the Board of Railway Commissioners' award in reference to the transfer of certain lands to the city by the company. The station is to be used by the Hamilton and Brantford Ry. as well as by the L.E. & N.R.

The regular operation of trains on the line into Port Dover by electric power was started Aug. 1. At a meeting of the Port Dover Council, July 31, plans were approved for the bringing of the railway into the town by St. Patrick St. down to a point opposite the park, instead of the proposal of having a Union Station with the G.T.R. The proposition is being discussed with the company. (Aug., pg. 338.)
