Ottawa.—The City Council has taken action to compel the Electric Ry. Co. to extend its track to the Exhibition grounds in accordance with its contract with the city. An injunction has been applied for to restrain the Co. from operating the railway already built until the track has been extended as above mentioned, & the city claims $10,000 penalty provided in a bond between the Co. & the city entered into in 1893. The Co. has declined to proceed with the extension on account of not having received the sanction of the Railway Committee of the Privy Council to cross the Canada Atlantic tracks. The application is still pending, & if it is granted the Co. will probably go on with the extension.

It is said the Co. sill has in view the extension of its line to Britannia, but that nothing will be done before next spring.
