None of the terminals in Quebec for this reason.

On the south side of the river several hundred excursionâ€" fats arrived from the States only to find the: ferry boats stopped by ice in the river and no possible means of getting to Quebec <except going by train to Montreal and back on the other side of the riverâ€"and the: very venturesome alternative of crossing the swift stream between the ice cakes: Lord and Lady Minto, among others, did accomplish this Jast feat. â€" The others had no more than a view of the great arches of welâ€" come visible over in the city, as a reward for their trouble, and had to return to their homes with that little satisfaction. Many ptans have been made for a bridge to bring the needed advantages to Quebec. . Schemes© for great ferry boats, tunneling under the <river and other impracticable things were submitâ€" ted. But, in 1852, a civil engineer named Serrill prepared ‘claborate plans for a suspension bridge with a 1600 foot span, and his plan is virtually the one being used now ; and the location is the same, ~At that time support was not forthcoming. In 18§4 a company was formed, but it accomplished nothing: In 1887 another was organized to carry out the same plans, but it did not get down to business, although it is this same company, reorganized, that is now carrying on the work. f Two hundred â€" thousand ‘dollars was subscribed: in 1897 by.the shareholders of the company, twentyâ€"five per cent, of which was paid in. The Federal.Govâ€" ernment granted financial aid to the tone of.a million, the City of Quebec gave $300,000 and the Province of Quebec $250,000. _ In all the stretch of 170 miles between Quebec and Montreal there is no other crossing, and no other spot at.which a bridge. could possibly ‘be built. The natural | disadvantages, even here,â€" are serious and numerous. ‘The river has great velocity, is 2,600 feet wide at high water and very ~deep.
