The plans submitted for the grade reduction, track elevation, and other improvements in London, Ont., were placed before W. T. Jennings, Toronto, Consulting Engineer, by the City Council. He reported that the scheme proposed was a good one, and should be gone into and worked out in detail, both as to the mode of elevating the tracks, and also with regard to the width and height of openings for streets now open across the tracks. He suggested that William St. be closed, or that at the most a subway be provided for pedestrians only; that the city should accept an earth embankment instead of steel trestles. A meeting of the sub-committee of the Council's railway committee was held April 15, for the purpose of drafting the agreement, which on approval by the Council will be submitted to the G.T.R. solicitors for acceptance.
