Nipissing & James Bay..—A bill to extend for a further period of 2 years the date for the commencement of this line, the charter of which is controlled by Mackenzie, Mann & Co., was opposed before the Railway Committee of the House of Commons by counsel for the City of Toronto, but was carried by a vote of 70 to 7. It is said the portion from North Bay to Lake Temagaming will be proceeded with if a Dominion subsidy can be obtained.

At its last session the Ontario Legislature voted a cash subsidy of $3,000 a mile for a railway from the town of Parry Sound to connect with the Canada Atlantic Ry., not exceeding 5 miles in length. No company was named as the recipient of the bonus, so that it can be given to the Nipissing & James Bay Ry., or to any other company. (Dec. '99, pg. 352.)
