Ottawa improvements.—The Board of Railway Commissioners has rescinded the order passed Mar. 7, approving plans for train shed, etc., at the central union station.

Referring to the report as to the tunnel at the Rideau Canal. W. Wainwright, Second Vice President, is quoted as having stated April 5, that he was not in a position to discuss the matter officially on behalf of the company, but personally, it did not appeal to him. In addition to having to remove its Parry Sound line, and placing it in the tunnel, the carrying out of the proposal would do away with the company's freight yards. General Superintendent Donaldson, is quoted as saying April 5, that the project did not meet with the approval of the G.T.R. That company had an alternative proposal, which would be laid before the authorities.
