The Canada Atlantic will this fall commence the erection of large car shops at Ottawa in addition to those already put up. The new shops will be located near the Rideau roundhouse, where the machine shops & repair works are situated. The buildings put are up this spring at the foot of Elgin st., & which are now being used, will be discarded after the proposed structure at Ottawa East is up. They will then be used by the Co. for storage, or may be available for manufacturing purposes. When the new car shops, which will erected & equipped at a heavy cost, are completed, all the works of the Co. will be adjacent to each other, instead of being 1/2 a mile apart, as at present. They will consist of erecting, woodworking, drying & painting shops, & will run by electricity. In order to make a foundation a great deal of filling in will have to be done, & work on this will commence in the near future in time for the erection of the shops to start in Nov. & be completed early in the spring.—Ottawa Citizen.
