In the House of Assenthly on the inst.,
Mr. Wood moved -the second reading to the
bill to legalize and 'confirm :in agreement
made between the Grand Trunk railway corn -
party. (Cries of -"':Exptaiti,: explain.") He
said, sol far as the public were concerned, this
bill went no further than was already author-
ized by the 131.1t, dense of the Railway Act,
that the directors of any railway company
miaht entirt into any aareement for 21 years
for the -7egtilation of traffie passing over their
railways. . There was 'a clause in -the agree-
ment whichlirovided that during the term of
six years the Grand - TrunkcoinOany inight
buy up the share capital of the 13uffalo and
Lake Huron company for a certain -sum.
Thatawas a power already on the - statute
book. • The act was required because•it con-
tained a domestic arrangement between the
creditors end the sharealders of the Buffalo
and Lake .Huron company that did not con-
cern ,
the public at all. , •

it was not hie first but one of . e series for the
purpose of placing thewhole railwat interests
