Brockville and Western Ry. Co.—J. Cooper, F. W. Fairmain, A. E. Hanna, J. J. Rosevear, A. O. Bourne, of Montréal, and W. J. Webster are applying at the current session of the Dominion Parliament for incorporation under this title, to enable them to acquire the Brockville, Westport and Sault Ste. Marie Ry., or any of the bonds or other securities thereof, and to complete the line. The applicants propose, in the event of their purchasing the railway, to pay to the Minister of Railways $50,000, to be divided prorate among the unsecured creditors of the line. Power is also asked to construct a bridge over the St. Lawrence at Brockville, so soon as the necessary powers to do so are obtained in the United States. Mr. Cooper is one of the largest of the judgment creditors of the B.W. and S.S.M. Ry. Co., and is interested in the action now before the courts asking that the recent sale of the line to the reorganization syndicate in New York be set aside. (Feb., pg. 37.)
