Lindsay, Bobcayegon and Pontypool Ry.—An act was passed at the current session of the Dominion Parliament granting an extension of two years for the commencement, and of five years for the completion of the company's projected line from Burketon to Bobcaygeon, Ont. The head office of the company is removed from Lindsay, Ont., ta Toronto. Two locating parties have been in the field, one in charge of A. H. N. Bruce, C.E., and the other in charge of A. Bruneli, CE., the office at Lindsay being in charge of J.McCunn, C.E. Trial lines were run between Lindsay and Burketon, on the C.P.R. Montréal-Toronto line, the line between Lindsay and Bobcaygeon having been previously located. The whole work of location was completed June 20, the route passing through Dunsford, between Lindsay and Bobcaygeon; and near Nestleton and Blackstock between Lindsay and Burketon. The maximum gradient will be 1%, and the maximum curvature 4d. It is expected that construction will be started immediately at several points, as the line is accessible from Scugog river and lake, and from Sturgeon lake for some distance south of Bobcaygeon. H. W. D. Armstrong is Chief Engineer.

An agreement respecting the operation of the line has been entered into between the Lindsay town council, the L.B. and P. Ry. Co., and the C.P.R. (June, pg. 215.)
