Algoma Central and Hudson Bay Ry.—The company applied to the Dominion Parliament this session for an extension of time for the completion of its railway to Hudson Bay. The applicants desired to have five years within which to commenced the extension, but the House of Commons has cut this down to two years, with five years as the time within which the line has to be completed.

The Lake Superior Corporation, which now controls the charter, is said to be arranging to have the line completed to a junction with C.P.R. transcontinental line. At present about 25 miles of grading is required for this purpose, but there is a long stretch, something like 130 miles, on which track has to be laid, and a number of bridges to be built between the present track end and the point at which grading has to be taken up again.
