Track elevation in Montréal.—The order for the elevation of the G.T.R. tracks in Montréal is reported to have been prepared for issue by the Board of Railway Commissioners. The estimated cost of the work is over $8,000,000, and it may amount to as much as $10,000,000. The only question said to be undecided is the proportion of the cost to be paid by the city. The actual cost of the track elevation is a little over $5,000,000, towards which the city is authorized to contribute $2,500,000, but the company asks for an additional $500,000. The remaining part of the estimated cost of the work is made up of the alteration of terminal facilities to suit the track elevation, and for the building for a new passenger station to replace the present Bonaventure one.
