ELECTRIC RAILWAY

Must Keep Off Main Streets

Build New Bridge Across Canal

OTHER MATTERS

[People's Press, 3 October 1905]

             The Town council last night instructed Mr. German to notify the Toronto & Hamilton Electric Railway Company that they could not use West or East Main or Division streets. This may compel the railway after crossing the river west of the town to come down Bald street, build a new bridge across the canal at the site of the old bridge and turn up Muir street at the town hall to the M.C.R. Mr. German stated that he thought this would be satisfactory to the railway company.

             M. Beatty & Sons were granted right to build siding on Muir street to M.C.R.

             The Niagara Power Co. were granted right to bring power to Welland.

             A grant of $50 was made to Welland band.
