NOVEL RAILWAY ENTERPRISE.
Its Promoters plan to Carry Big
Ships Overland.


Halifax, \. s., March 2J.--1hc Eng
lish and Scotch promoters of the IA
nous Chignccto marine railway prof
ect, which was abandoned about ten
years ago because of Il lack of capital,
are endeayoring to revive the under
taking. One of the directors of the
original corporation, 4. ID. Irovand,
formerly NJ. T.. of the Blackfriars divi-
sion of Glasgow, is in this country in
the interest of British investors in the
Chignecto Marine Transport Railway
company, which was formed in the
eighties.
The project embraced the construc-
ton of marine railway across the
neck of land by which this province is
joined to the Canadian mainland. by
which it was proposed to carry vessels
of all sizes overland from the hay of
Fnndy waters to the strait of Northum-
berland, some 20 miles. thus saving q
run of several hundred miles around
the province.
The work was begun, the Canadian
government promising large sum in
subsidizing the project. and the pro-
moters spent nearly S4.0O0,0O0. but a
financial depression in England in 1890
prevented the company from obtaining
further capital. As the Canadian gov
einment subsidy was payable upon the
completion of the work in a given time.
the money was lost to the company.
Mr.. Provand is now endeavoring to
secure financial aid from the govern
ment. he contends that the British
public were induced to subscribe mil
lions of dollars toward the undertaking
on the strength of Inducements held
out to them by the government Of Can
ada.
