Toronto Civic Street Railway proposals.—The Act respecting the city of Toronto passed last session of the Ontario Legislature declared that the power to acquire the part of the Toronto and York Radial Ry. in the city, as set out in schedule B., was legal, and granted power to acquire it under the terms of the agreement of Dec. 23, 1890. The piece of line mentioned is the section of the Toronto and Mimico Electric Ry. from Sunnyside to the city boundary. The council may take possession of the line, Dec. 23, of the current year, and may issue debentures to pay for the cost, subject to the passage of a bylaw. The city is also given power to extend the line easterly along the Lake Shore Road so as to connect with the Toronto Ry., and may make agreement with that railway for the interchange of traffic, or for running rights over the T. Ry. as far as the St. Lawrence Market, or to other points, subject to the approval of the Ontario Railway and Municipal Board. The city's application for rights in connection with the T. Ry. is under consideration by the Ontario Railway and Municipal Board. (June, pg. 559.)

Railways: T. & Y.Rad.Ry., T.C.Ry.
