Iluroti and Ontario Electrie Railway is projected to run from the Town of Port Perry, on Lake Scugo, to the- Town of Kin- cardine, 'on .Lake Heron,. in the Province of - Ontario, Canada, a distance of 191 miles. from East to West. It passes through the Town- ships of.Reach, Uxbridge, Scott, East Gwilijam bury, West Gwilliatnbury, Tecamreh, Adjala, Mono, Mel-ancthon, O.prey, Artemesia, Glenelg, Bentinck, Brant, Greenock, Kinloss, Huron and Kincardine. The branches pass hrough the Townships of Euphrasia, 'ollingwoocl, St. Vincent, Carrick, ulross, _ Turnbury, . -Morris, West awanosli,. Ashfield and Colborne.. These townships are in counties of ntario, York, 5imcoe, Dufferin, ardwell, Bruce, Huron" arid Grey, ,nth are among the wealthiest and est prosperous counties in Canada, reit average tax' -valuation" of real tate being $415.00 per head of the pulation, equal to8630 per bead of aI value. - Tlit) rnileaot-• of the branches -is pectively 2S miles,from Flesherton .3Ieaford and 55 n il•,q from Wal - •tun to Goderich, making a-. total leage of 274 wiles.. - The proposed road touches the towns 1 villages of.Port Perry, Uxbridge, dforrl, Mt. - Albert, Shar.-n, Hol- d Landing", Bradford, Bond Head, McIntyre,ton, Rosemont, Shelburne, Bad- s, Feversharn, Eugenia; Berton, Meaford, Dur- , Hanover, Walkerton, 'Greenock; ersdale, Kiuless, Bervie, Kincar- , Tiverton; Kimberly, Thbrmosa, water, \Vinghacn, Lucknow, Dun - non and Goclericte t C tiV 0 4 ni t es po re res to ke ori are San lan Bee jero Fres ham Riv dine Tie, n The main line touches the Grand Fronk Railway at both terminal points, where it connects . with- the trade .of Lake • Seugog and Lake Huron. I crosses tike Grand Trunk Railway at Uxbridge-, Mt. Albert, Bradford, Durham, Hanover and Walkerton. It touches - the Cilia/ban Pacific Railway at Shelburne and crosses the sarne line at Flesherton One branch touches the Georgian Bay at. the fine harbor of Meaford where it also c renects with the Grand. rrunk Railway. The orher branch reaches the waters of Lake Huron at Goderich, admittedly the best harbor on the Lake, where it also connects with the Grand Trunk Railway. l:t crosses the Canadian Pacific Railway at Teeswater, the Grand Trunk at Lucknow and both the Canadian Pacific and Grand Trunk Railways at Wingham. All existing lines of rail way in the territory through which it passes, run north and south, -centering for the most part in the . city - of Toronto. This ceases great inconven- ienee to the pul,lic along the proposed Electric lines, requiring theta in Most cases to travel long distances -to junction points in order to make short journeys from East .to West, or vice. versa, frequently requiring over one hundred miles of railway travel to go twenty miles from point .to point, It is mainly this fact that gave rise to the necessity of the Tins %cross the country and which; tr ;;Fcher,, with cite rc ert $ tilt .-F}yy :(:rse( promises 'a p.ofi:able - traffic fur 'dig projected Huron and, Ontario Railway. The line averages from thirty to sixty miles north of Toronto and is not paralled by any line in any -direction- .

It is altogether probable that a much greater number would make use of the_road but this may be relied .upon as the minimum. There is -a spur projected front Luck - now to Ripley. a distance of 9 miles, which is not being considered in this prospectus, but which will be dealt with again. - - In all probability 25 motor cars would he required at first, with an equal or • greater. -number of trailers, the to be combination,cars fo - s and - light freight, cars.to be, added as re a few would doubtless from the -beginning, Some IOtors and- trailers would be ry for• excursions, as this feat- f:e service would be in constantduring the suntuter season, Cr. expre freight though essary extra n necessa ire of t deryand through which the II - 4.- O, - is jetted, and the prospect of a large num- ber of manufacturing industries being called into existence - by the facilities it would atlbrd for the transportation of freight, there can be to doubt that the receipts for-frieght would soon be in excess of the estimate here given. In respect -of the -estimated pop- ulation- on which' these calculations. are based, it may be . observed that Only an average distance of some five miles on each side of . the track is taken into account, whilst in the opinion of rnany good judges, the road would. draw passenger tragic from a couch larger area. Having iu., view tine fact that: .the proposed ;electric rood is not paralleled by any other railway, it. is the expectation of many gold judges, that the road would probably I e realized. The steam roads count on drawing traffic from a distance t 20 miles- under similar circumstances. - - Care has been taken in these estima- tes to keep within moderatebounds, so as not to excite undue expectations. Nevertheless - the belief prevails in the minds of the directots that the traffic would be a growing - one, . and that under - good management the - road would pay a large profit on the money invested in its construction and equip- ment: . All other eleetric railroads in Canada are paying very large profits, whilst the two ..country lines which; afford -the only proximate .comparison with this; the Hamilton and Grimsby and Galt and Itospler, though paral- leled by the Grank - Trunk,. - are a veritable gold mine in the hands of their -owners.

These have -a tnileage of 354 miles, ran 15,589,236 miles and carried 55,348,- 612 passengers. One of these, with 331 miles of road, carried 478,599 passengets- and .earned .$64,363.00, but as all these are city or suburban roads running_short distances through populous_districts, they afford no sat- rsfactory-ground of comparison with the Ii, k o Ry. At best they bat serve to show that the earning cap- acity of Electric Loads is great in proportion to their cost and mileage. The total earnings of all the steam railways -in Canada during the last year was $46,785,487.00, being an average per headof the population of $9.68, of which 82.90 per 'head was for passengers, .'g5c per head for mails, 30e per head for express and 86.22 per head for general freight. These fig- ure afford a better, basis of comparison as the roads run through all parts of the country, more than half their Mileage beingthrough districts where the population is very thin. The Ii. 5; 0. Railway might reasonably - expect to equal their - earnings_ for' passengers, mail and express: . They could not of course enter the lists with them for freight. Assuming this basis we have as pro- bable earnings for 240,000 people :- From passengers..... ; .... $406,000 From mails... • ........... 36,400 From" express .... , ...... 42,000 From freight-.... .. , 120;000.
