PORT COLBORNE

[People’s Press, 18 April 1905]

The electric railway surveyors reached here last week, struck a pile in Port Colborne to connect with the Toronto and Niagara railway. The line comes up the canal, leaving it at the new road in front of Wm. McGinnis’ house, coming up that road to East Main St., thence up Mellanby avenue about 60 rods and cuts across R.H. Appleyard’s to the east bank of the canal which it follows to Port Colborne. Another line was surveyed going west along Main street and up Victoria street to Port Colborne.
