 Copy of a Report of a Committee of the Honorable 
 THE Executive Council, dated the 5th July, 1884. 
 approved by the Lieutenant-Governor on the *7th 
 July, 1884, Concerninq the Pontiac Pacific Junc- 
 tion Railway Company. 
 
 Province of Quebec— No. 240. 
 
 The Honorable the Commissioner of Railways, in a report 
 dated the third of July instant (1884), sets forth that by an 
 order in council of the 19th of April, 1882 (No. 107), the sub- 
 sidy of 16,000 per mile granted to the Pontiac Pacific Junc- 
 tion Railway Company by an order in council of the 18th 
 February, 1882 (No. 45), was converted, at the request of the 
 railway company, into a guarantee of interest, upon an issue 
 of bonds to be made for an amount of |20,000 per mile. 
 
 That the said railway company have not made the con- 
 templated issue of bonds, and that the order in council 
 converting the subsidy from a payment in money into a 
 guarantee of interest has never been acted upon. 
 
 That the said railway company has requested the Lieut.- 
 Governor in council to revoke the order in council convert- 
 ing the subsidy into a guarantee of interest, and to replace 
 matters as regards the payment by the Government of the 
 subsidy in the same state as before the passing of such order 
 in council. 
 
 The Honorable 'the Commissioner, therefore, recommends 
 that order in council No. 101 of the 19th April, 1882. be re- 
 voked, to the end that the subsidy be payable in money ; it 
 being, however, understood that the revocation thereof shall 
 m no way affect the resolution adopted by the directors of 
 the railway company at the city of Ottawa on the 11th of 
 April, 1882, that " in the location and construction of the 
 
XXXIX 
 
 " Pontiac Pacific Junction Railway, the point of crossing the 
 " Ottawa River in the County of Pontiac be near the con- 
 " fluence of the Coulange River with the Ottawa River, in 
 " the Township of Mansfield."
