Ottawa Union station and hotel.—The Dominion Parliament is being asked by the Minister of Public Works at the current session for an act confirming an order-in-council, dated Sept. 20, 1907, authorizing the sale of a part of Major's Hill Park to the G.T.R. , for the purposes of a site for an hotel, and directing that the proceeds of the sale shall be placed to the credit of the Ottawa Improvement Commission.

Plans have been submitted to the Ottawa Board of Control by the G.T.R., showing an hotel and station, the former to cost $1,000,000, and the latter $500,000. Some opposition has been shown to the acceptance of the plans by the city owing to the amount which the company first announced its intention of spending having been cut down.
