Central Ontario.—In reference to the extension of this line from Ormsby, 5 miles from the northern terminus at Coe Hill, to Bancroft, about 21 miles, we are unofficially informed that the contractor's engineer states that 16 miles have been graded ready for track laying & that rock work will be gone on with throughout the winter. The contract requires the extension completed by Oct. 1 next, but it is expected it will be in operation by June 1. Track laying would have been completed over the first half of the extension before now but for delay in securing ties. (July 99, pg. 209.)
