The protest was in the form of a resolution, which will be sent to tho Dominion Government. "This House reatiirms its ap- proval of the Government'saction In opposing tho extension of cer- Iain railway charters hitherto taunted by the Parliament of l'anada whirh would interfere: with projected 1cIydrrr-ercrctric, lines in Ontario," it reads in part, "and reaffivtrrr; its objections to the granting or renewal of chart- Pl'S by tho Parliament of Canada In lorunl electric railways within this Province and to the removal or all such railways from tho, jurisdiction of this Legislature by doolaring them to be for the general advantage of Canada."
