' 'his line was granted a bonus ot 83.000 per mile last session. in all 896,000. The line was to run from Spanish River to Little Current, but engineering ditticulties make it necessary to start from Nelson Sta- tion, which will make tho road eight. miles longer. They are asking tor a grant for the additional mileage, and also for help towards a bridge that will cost 8125.006. Should thew concessions be granted. the ruilwa . will be commenced next spring and the Mom; connect- ed with the, mainland by next fall. In this con- neetinn a sliggmtion was made that if adopted may revolutionise the bonus system. It is that the Government mpitnlise the grant and guar- ante" interest on the bonds. which would then sell at par instead of at a heavy discount. The proposition will receive the consideration of tho Government. There is war to the knife amongst the public min in l'urry Sound.
