Canadian Northern Ry. Construction.

Winnipeg terminals.—The Manitoba Legislature last session passed an act guaranteeing bonds to the extent of $1,000,000 to provide for the construction of adequate terminals in Winnipeg, Man. The present terminal facilities in Winnipeg are those formerly used by the old Northern Pacific and Manitoba Ry., and have been regarded as being only temporary, pending the completion of arrangements for the construction of a new station and yards. In connection with its plans the company lias secured Fort Garry Park, and has arranged with the city council for the closing of Broadway from Main St. to the Red River. The probability is that the new station will be erected on Broadway at Main St., and that there will be an hotel in connection with it. The plans involve the construction of a double-track bridge over the Assiniboine River, and a hune to connect the terminals with the branch to Oak Point. The package freight sheds will remain as at present, at Water St., the larger freight being handled at the Fort Rouge yards. The plans, however, are not yet finally completed, and nothing definite can be said as to when construction will be proceeded with, though it is likely to be started in the spring.
