STEAMBOAT CO. GETS $2200.

Amount Awarded Welland Steamboat Co.

[Welland Tribune, 5 February 1909]

The Welland Steamboat Co. brought action against the Ontario & Quebec Navigation Co., for damages for failing to supply a certificate as per agreement, to allow plaintiff Co. to use the steamer Niagara for passenger traffic on the lakes. The action was tried at St. Catharines recently when a verdict was given for the Welland Co., and the matter referred to Judge Carman to fix amount of damages. After hearing evidence Judge Carman has given his decision, awarding the Welland Co. the sum of $2200 damages, which, of course, carries costs.
