Grand Trunk Ry.—G. Mountain, Chief Engineer, Board of Railway Commissioners, visited Brantford, Ont., Oct. 27, to inspect several crossings over the G.T.R. which the city is desirous to have eliminated. Arrangements were made for the reduction of speed of trains at the Market St. crossing; the erection of a semaphore at the Clarence St. crossing, the maintenance of which is to be apportioned between the city and the company by the Board of Railway Commissioners; and for the putting in of a subway at the St. Paul's Ave. crossing, provided the Board decides that this is the only way protection can be given. (Nov., pg. 447.)
