The . county council representatives in making their statement to the rail- way commission next Tucsdhy, in re gard to the proposed subway at Kingston Junction, will draw alten. tion to the fact that the G.T.R. com- pany laid tracks across the: Montreal road without permission from the | township of Kingston: or without fyling the requisite plans. The county representatives are agree- able to a straight subway, providing | Frontenac is not required to pay any more proportionately than is estima- «ed would be charged to it for tho diverted subway. In view of the fact <hat it is the city and county that will press for the straight subway, and not the Grand Trunk, there is an im- pression that the railway commission may make the shaves of each of the municipalities greater. The city had a tasto of that before when it gave its "moral support" to the subway scheme. Semetnie----a---- PERSONAL MENTION, Movements Of The People--What They Are Saying And Doing. H. S.
