Montréal east end improvements.—R. S. Logan, Assistant to the President, stated Jan. 8, that the company proposed to seek from the city council power to close up the ends of Lafontaine, De Montigny and Logan Streets, as it was in negotiation for the acquisition of the land fronting on these streets. So far as level crossings are concerned, Mr. Logan added that there would be only one of these in a street which is comparatively little used, and even now the engineers were working on a plan which would obviate even this level crossing. In the outlying districts where there are farm lands on either side it might be found necessary in one or two instances to overcome grades with crossings, but so far as the thickly settled portions at the city were concerned, there was no intention of having level crossings. Some part of the work projected is in connection with the Lachine, Jacques Cartier and Maisonneuve Ry.
