The Toronto, Hamilton and Buffalo Ry.'s Chief Engineer and the city engineer of Hamilton had a conference Jan. 10 with respect to the operation of the line by electricity. The Chief Engineer, in an interview, said he had been directed to prepare plans and estimates as to the cost of electrification of the entire line from Hamilton to Welland, and Hamilton to Waterford, but he could not say anything as to the company's intention. The city engineer, in a subsequent interview, said at one time the T.H. and B. Ry. carried all the local passenger traffic between Brantford and Hamilton, but that it now nearly all went over the electric line, known as the Brantford and Hamilton Ry. He was of opinion that the T. H. and B.R. has an idea of operating the Hamilton- Brantford section of the line by electricity, obtaining power from the Hydro-Electric station at Dundas.
