Hudson's Bay Railway to be Built as Public Undertaking
Government plans to start construction of the Hudson's Bay Railway at the Pas with an initial 200 miles from Mission to Thicket Portage. Eight tenders were received, narrowed to two from J D McArthur and M J O'Brien, with work expected to begin before September 1. Officials estimate the line could reach Port Nelson as terminal, around 500 miles long, and preparations include winter bed work and a large harvest labor force from Alberta. Commissioner Daley will oversee a provincial roster to recruit workers for the westward harvest season.
