Grand Trunk Ry.—The Board of Railway Commissioners has given the City of Brantford permission to construct a subway under the G.T.R. at St. Pauls Ave., the plans to be approved by the board's Chief Engineer. A subway for pedestrians is estimated to cost $10,000, towards which the Railways Department will contribute $2,000 from the level crossings elimination fund; and the G.T.R. will contribute $4,800; the city bearing the balance of the cost. If the city desired to put in a subway for vehicular traffic, with sidewalks for pedestrian traffic, the order will issue in that form, the Dominion contribution being 20%, not to exceed $5,000, and the G.T.R. contribution being limited to $4,8000, as the city had agreed with the company in 1905 to close the highway, except for pedestrian traffic.
