One hundred men are paid here every two weeks. Not all of these employees reside here, but likely would if suitable houses were available. A- bout seventy per cent. of railway em- ployees paid here have their homes in Gravenhurst. An estimate of the number of railway employees and their happy families residing in Gra- venhurst is placed at nearly four hundred. Thisalso is evidence enough that.Gravenhurst will in time become an important railway centre between Toronto and North Bay. Quite re- ` cently railway officials have visited Gravenhurst, with the object of hav- ing local railway conditions improved. What this will amount to is impossible to say, but one thing certain is Gra- venhurst yards are undersize for the amount of work handled here.
