Lake Erie and Northern Ry.—An act has been passed by the Dominion Parliament enabling the company to increase its bonding power from $30,000 to $45,000 a mile, and to issue other securities for the purpose of developing properties along its line, but these extended powers are not to be used until every municipality which has aided the company, has been released from its agreement.
Track laying was reported to have reached Brantford, from Galt, Ont., April 9, and ballasting has been started, a train working each way from the pit at Paris.
Construction is being proceeded with on the Brantford-Port Dover section, and it is expected that track laying will be started in both directions from Simcoe, as soon as work on the Brantford-Galt section is completed. The line is not expected to be ready for operation until the end of the year. (April, pg. 166.)
