The Grand Trunk Ry. is being asked to remove its siding on Bathurst St., London, Ont., between Waterloo and Wellington Sts., on the ground that it interferes with the operation of the London & Port Stanley Ry.
We are officially advised that the company has installed the absolute permissive block signalling system on its single track line between Shelburne, N.H., and Bethel Me., 16 miles. The installation was done by the company's own forces, the material being purchased form the General Railway Signal Co., Rochester, N.Y. The signals are bottom post, d.c. low voltage type 2A.
In connection with an application to the Windsor, Ont., City Council for the granting of patents for water lots at the foot of Brock St., provided that the property is used for a competitive ferry line, Alderman Howell explained that a number of people represented by C. Miller, barrister, Toronto, were working in conjunction with the G.T.R., with a view to erecting an hotel, and a new station with covered tracks on the land between Brock and Goyeau Sts., and that, in connection with the station and hotel, it was proposed to operate a ferry service from Brock St. to Brush St., Detroit, Mich., at which point the G.T.R. has a slip dock and a station. A motion to postpone action until plans of the proposed project were submitted resulted in a tie, six aldermen voting each way. The mayor gave a casting vote in favor of the postponement, stating that the promoters would not be deterred thereby. O. E. Fleming, K.C., Windsor, is said to be looking after the matter for the promoters. (Nov., pg. 433.)
