Lake Erie and Northern Ry.—The Board of Railway Commissioners has approved in a general way the route selected through the city of Brantford, Ont., and the details are being worked out by the engineers.

Grading camps have been established on the right-of-way between Galt and Paris by the general contractors, Johnson Bros., Port Hope. Subcontracts have been let to Seriven and White for grading from Blue Lake towards Paris, and to Davis and Martin for grading from Paris towards Blue Lake. D.A. Grant is general foreman of construction. A start has been made by P. H Secord and Sons with the concrete abutments for the bridge at Jubilee Terrace, Brantford. It is expected that work will be started at an early date south of Brantford towards Port Dover, but the principal effort of the contractors are to be devoted to completing the Brantford.
