Canada Atlantic.—On July 14 the House of Commons Railway Committee reported the bill providing for the amalgamation of the Canada Atlantic & Ottawa, Arnprior & Parry Sound railways, under the name of the Canada Atlantic Ry. Co. Both the C.P.R. & the Ottawa & New York Ry. opposed the measure on the ground that as drafted the bill would institute an unfair advantage to the amalgamated companies over all others in connection with the rights of entry to the central station over the canal reserve. Arguments in this direction failed to convince the committee that any injustice would be perpetrated, & no amendment in the connection was allowed.

Railways: C.A.Ry., O.A. & P.S.Ry.
