Montréal track elevation.—The G.T.R. plans for the elevation of its tracks in Montréal have been completed, and have been sent to the Board of Railway Commissioners for consideration. The proposal is to elevate the tracks from Bonaventure station to St. Henri, thus doing away with all level crossings.

That the company has purchased St. Joseph's church on Richmond St., in connection with the track elevation plans and the proposals to rebuild the Bonaventure St. station, is denied by G.T.R. officials. The company, in view of the difficulties in the way of obtaining the land necessary, has, officials state, decided to modify its plans by removing everything possible to the Turcot yards, and retaining at Bonaventure only such buildings, etc., as are absolutely necessary.
