Metropolitan.—A conference between the Railway Committee of the York County Council & President Warren & Manager Moyes of this Co. was held at Aurora recently to settle the alignment & location of the railway extension through the town, the Co. having taken objection to the route as laid out by the Council some time age. After considerable discussion & an absolute refusal on the part of the railway to accept the conditions, the matter was finally settled by the town's consenting to the route & alignment suggested by the railway people. Now that this matter has been satisfactorily settled, it is understood the construction of the road north of Bond Lake through to Newmarket will be proceeded with at once.

The Co. has given notice of application to the Ontario Legislature for an Act to confirm by-laws of the Town of Newmarket, the villages of Aurora & Richmond Hill, & the townships of Whitchurch, King, Vaughan & Markham, under which the property of the Co. in the municipalities mentioned is exempted from taxation for 10 years, & also to confirm agreements made between the Company & the municipalities.
