Projected lines, surveys, construction, betterments, etc.

Lake Erie and Northern Ry.—We have been officially informed that the line is completed from Galt to Brantford, and that grading is completed southerly from Brantford to within a mile of Port Dover, Ont. The bridge at Waterford was expected to be compelted by May 31, and the one over the Grand River at Brantford is expected to be completed by July 1. Track has been laid on the southerly section of the line between Waterford and Simcoe, eight miles, and Johnson Bros., the contractors, expect to have the grading and track laying completed by Aug. 30.

In connection with the projected operation of the line by electricity enquiries are being made for electric material and there appears to be no doubt that the line will be electrified.

A proposition has been made by the company to the Brantford City Council for certain running rights over the Grand Valley section of the Brantford Municipal Ry., at Galt, and between Paris and Brantford. The matter came before the City Council, April 27, when representatives of the Board of Trade were invited to confer with the Brantford Railway Commissioners as to the project. It was stated, May 3, that the city might sell the Grand Valley section of the line to the L.E. and N.R. (May, pg. 171.)

Railways: B.M.Ry., L.E. & N.Ry.
