Track elevation in Montréal.—A report on track elevation in the city was, on Nov. 19, stated to be ready for presentation to the city council. The estimated cost of the work, based on G.T.R. plans, is $8,211,000. It is made up of the revised estimate of $5,903,745 with the addition of the following percentages:—For general expenses and contingencies, 5%; for interest on cost of construction for two years, 6%; consequential damages, $500,000; commission for financing, 3%. The engineering questions involved are now under study by G. R. Macleod, city engineer on railways and bridges. He is engaged chiefly in checking the estimates and determining how far expenditure has been entailed by changes asked by the city.
