mencing the proposed renewal account, to be

dually extinguished out of revenue. Therefore the
;\,./
sum of £8,622 has been charged to capital far ad-•
ditional weight of iron and for fish plates, and
£26,035 has been placed to such renewal account.
Arrangements are in progress for the manufacture,
under contract, of steel and steel-headed rails, to be
laid down in place of iron rails on the main line.
The proved results on the London and NorihWestern
line afford most valuable evidence that the Vew rails
laid down on the busiest portions of their lit, e have
already lasted 10 times as long as the ordinary iron
It is proposed for the future to charge dir.ect
.o revenue £70,000 a year for renewals, and to carry'
the excess outlay in the next two years to the re-
newal account, and so far as the extra cost o 6
"fishing" and of steel are concerned, to capital.
The company's practical officers report that a regular
charge to revenue of L 70,000 per annum, equal to
the renewal of 80 miles a year cf improved and
strengthened road, will, in the course of five yee,TOI
overtake end extinguish the renewal account esta-
blished. The outlay on capital account for addi
tion3 to the plant and property of the company
has bcen £47,182, as against £18,142 for 1862.
The former sum iucludes t4e cost of 99 new freight
cars, two new sleeping cars, and two new engines,
being part of the additional plant proposed to be
provided in the last report confirmed by the bond
and share holders. The Canadian Government have
released the £42,500 second preference bonds pre-
viously retained, enabling the use of these securities
for similar necessary outlay. The issue of postal
and military service bonds to the company's oredi-
ors now appears in the capital account, as also the
issue of fourth preference stock. The long pending
claim of Mr. Tarcotte in connection with the Three
Rivers Branch has, during the half year, been
amicably settled, and the outstanding claims not
disposed of in Canada are now of a very trifling
amount. An agreement has been sealed be-
tween the Grand Trunk and Buffalo and Lake
Huron Companies for mutual facilities of working
and interchange of traffic, and powers will be
sought in the present Session of Parliament to con-
firm the same. The capital accoant to Dec.3l shows
that £16,741,400 had been received, and£16,061,703
expended, leaving a balance of £679,697. The
revenue account for the past half year shows that
£477,839 had been received and £312,110 expenaed,
including £37,037 for renewals, leaving a balance
of £165,728.
