Grand Trunk Ry.—A press report states that construction on the Southern New England Ry., a subsidiary of the Central Vermont Ry., itself a subsidiary of the G.T.R., will be resumed at an early date, and that the line from Palmer, Mass., to Providence, R.I., will be completed.

A suggestion has been made in Hamilton, Ont., that the company should abolish its cross town line, on Ferguson Ave., or build a subway on King St.

The Brantford, Ont., City Council has passed a resolution directing its Railway Committee to make formal application to the Board of Railway Commissioners for the construction of a subway under the tracks at St. Paul's Ave. A press report states that the company will install a mechanical interlocking plant at Frazier, Mich., to consist of a 20-lever frame interlocking machine, having 4 levers for 4 home signals, 2 levers for 2 dwarf signals, 5 levers for 6 derails, and 4 levers for 4 facing point locks. The layout will include 2 one-arm, two-position, lower quadrant mechanical signals, 2 two-arm, two-position upper quadrant mechanical home signals, 2 one-arm, two-position, mechanical dwarf signals, and 2 on-arm, three position, distant signals. Four disc and 2 semaphore type indicators will be installed in the tower. (Feb., pg. 50.)
