Lake Erie and Northern Ry.—Grading is reported to have been completed between Waterford and Bloomsburg, Ont., and the construction of the bridge at Waterford, which is estimated to cost $65,000, has been started. Considerable work is also reported to have been done in the vicinity of Galt, on the section of the line north of Brantford. A map showing the route of the line through Brantford was filed with the city authorities July 5. It shows a route from Lorne bridge to the city limits at Eagle Place.

W. P. Kellett, General Manager, is reported to have stated, July 4, that it is expected to have the line opened from Brantford to Galt, by Oct. 1, and the section from Brantford to Port Dover, by June 1914. The line is being built to steam railway standards, but the story that it is to be exclusively a steam railway has no foundation in fact, as electricity will be the motive power used ultimately, though it may be operated by steam for a time at first.
