Dominion Atlantic Ry.—The new station recently opened at Bridgetown, N.S. is a conveniently arranged structure 24 x 56 ft., with 20 ft. overhanging at each end, and has in front a walk 390 x 12ft. The building has a cement pebbled [base?]ment, the main structure being of stucco on trussed lath, centered with base-dash, with smooth finish above and below, and an asbestos shingle roof. The inside finish is of Douglas fir and birch, the ceilings and sidewalks being sand-finished and cream tinted. It contains an office 14 ft. square; ladies’ waiting room 12 x 24 ft.; men’s waiting room, 20 x 24 ft., and baggage room, 20 x 10 ft. The building is heated by hot air. On the opposite side of the track a freight shed 30 x 48 ft. has been built. The contractors for these buildings were J. H. Hicks and Sons.

A press report of March 15 states recent storms and floods in Nova Scotia washed out about eight miles of the company's railway between Plympton and Digby which will have to be rebuilt. [See also article of] (Dec., 1919, pg. 655).
