Ontario electric lines.
...
Metropolitan.—This line, which runs from North Toronto to Richmond Hill, is being extended to Newmarket. The work is progressing satisfactorily. In Aurora there was some difference as to the best location for the road, but it is expected the matter will be amicably settled. A large power-house is being built at Bonds Lake, where there will be 350 h.p., which will take the place of the North Toronto power-house. The land in the neighborhood of Bond's Lake has been purchased by persons who intend to make a summer resort there. It is said the line will be further extended, north to Lake Simcoe, west to Schomberg & northeast to Jackson's Point, Roach's Point & Beaverton, & that there will be a regular service for light freight as well as passengers.
