At a session of the Board of Railway Commissioners held at Ottawa, Dec. 6, the matter of the proposed temporary entrance of the C.N.O.R. into Ottawa across Hurdman road, was further adjourned until the city council had time to consider the matter The Chief Commissioner said the understanding was that the tracks, if laid across the road, are to be used for freight purposes only for two years, and that if used for any other purposes, the Board will compel their removal.
The work on the line between Toronto and Ottawa so far as it has been put under contract, is reported to be well forward. The grading as far as Trenton is practically complete, tracklaylng is well advanced and some ballasting has been done. The station buildings are being erected, and the work of connecting up the different sections will be completed as soon as the steel work on the several bridges under construction is completed.
Plans showing a portion of the company's proposed line in North Toronto have been filed with the Minister of Railways. The section for which approval is asked extends from Poplar Plains Road to west of Leaside Jct., the line paralleling the C.P.R.
The location plans for the line to connect up the Toronto-Sudbury line with the C.N.R. at Port Arthur, between mileage 500 and mileage 525, came before the Board of Railway Commissioners, Dec. 7, Owing to difficulties it is necessary to secure permission to use portions of the C.P.R. right of way, and the consideration of the plans was postponed in order to enable the C.P.R. to be consulted.
