Hull Electric Railway 20/06/1872 the Times, Ottawa Hull Electric Aylmer Horse Railway to Aylmer Local Railway Items from Area Papers - Hull Electric Railway 20/06/1872 The Times, Ottawa Hull Electric Aylmer Horse railway to Aylmer. The continuation? of the Ottawa Street Railway as far as Aylmer has been suggested to us, and the matter seems feasible enough in a paying point of view, while it would be of immense importance to the city of Ottawa, Hull and to the people of the town of Aylmer. There would be no engineering difficulties to contend with in laying the track, on the present excellent ordinary road, the trustees of which could exact tribute from the cars, as from other vehicles at the tolls. Saw mills would be built at Aylmer, and arrangements could be made with such men as Mr. Eddy, M.P.P. for the County of Ottawa to bring down lumber to the railway depots in this city direct from the mills. The bay of Aylmer is so admirably adapted for the collection and booming of timber, that were there any mode for bringing sawed lumber to the locomotive railway stations here, mills would instantly be built there. Mr. Eddy himself could obtain the necessary additional Act of Incorporation from the Parliament of Quebec, and it is not at all likely that the managers of the present macadamized road to Aylmer, would put any obstacle in the way of the scheme which would have the effect of peopling their highway to an extent scarcely now conceivable. 24/01/1893 Ottawa Journal Hull Electric Aylmer The people of Aylmer are getting thoroughly tired of the meagre railway arrangements between there and Ottawa. Mayor Ritchie has a good scheme, but he doubts his ability to carry it out. The idea is electricity, and the mayor is prepared to find a right of way from Aylmer to Deschenes where there is plenty of power. The idea would then be to run a toll bridge cross to Britannia and thus into the city. A few of the more progressive members of the council are in favour of going further and giving a substantial bonus to assist the scheme, and it will form, with the proposed waterworks extension, a subject for early discussion. 18/05/1893 Ottawa Journal Hull Electric There is a scheme afoot to build an electric railway line between Deschenes mills and Aylmer, a distance of about three miles. Mr. R.H. Conroy, warden of the county of Ottawa is the principal promoter of the movement. 18/08/1894 Ottawa Free Press Hull Electric The new company which Mr. Viau has for some months past been organizing to operate a system of electric railway and lighting in Hull, is now looking after a charter from the provincial government of Quebec. This action has converted nearly all of the ratepayers of the transpondine city to the opinion that Mr. Viau's company will shortly be a reality. Those who were opposed to the granting of certain privileges to the local company are now rejoicing that Hull capital will have a say in the running of the new railway. It is said that Mr. J.M. McDougall, Q.C., of Hull, is at present in Quebec trying to secure a charter for the new road. 02/10/1894 Ottawa Free Press Hull Electric Hull city council contracts with Viau for an electric railway. More. 05/10/1894 Ottawa Free Press Hull Electric The banquet given last evening in Hull by Mr. T. Viau, contractor for the new electric railway which is to connect Hull with Ironsides, Aylmer and Gatineau Point, was a perfect success and one of the most elaborate spreads seen in the Transpondine City for years. All the local celebrities were in hand including His Worship Mayor Aubry, and aldermen of Hull, county mayors and several gentlemen from Aylmer, Gatineau Point and Ironsides. Mr. Charles R. Devlin, M.P. for Ottawa County was on hand and delivered a rousing speech on the advantages accruing to Aylmer through the building of a line of electric railway along the Aylmer road. Mr. N. Tetreau M.P.P., was another speaker. He complimented Mr. Viau upon his enterprise. Several other gentlemen delivered short addresses and the gathering dispersed soon after midnight. 08/10/1894 Ottawa Free Press Hull Electric Details of Hull Electric railway scheme, application for charter etc. 17/10/1894 Ottawa Journal Hull Electric Aylmer to Ottawa by electric railway - proposal to Hull city council. 26/10/1894 Ottawa Journal Hull Electric Aylmer council will go slow on electric railway scheme. Need to see what C.P.R and O.E.R. will do. 13/11/1894 Ottawa Free Press Hull Electric Aylmer At the meeting of the Aylmer council last night an arrangement was arrived at whereby the proposed electric light and railway company, now being formed by Mr. Viau, was granted a twenty years' franchise to run a railway from Hull to Aylmer-- 23/11/1894 Eastern Ontario Review Hull Electric Aylmer The Aylmer town councilpassed a by-law last week granting a twenty year charter to the Hull Electric Railway Co; for the operation of an electric railway between Hull and Aylmer, and through the streets of the latter town. 21/12/1894 Ottawa Free Press Hull Electric Mr. S.P. Martigny, manager of the Banque Jacques Cartier in Hull, one of the promoters of Mr. Viau's proposed electric railway from Hull to Aylmer, returned from Quebec yesterday. He says the combined influence of the C.P.R. and the P. & P. J. railroad was too much for the Hull capitalists. Mr. DeMartigny adds that Mr. Thos. Tait who represented the interests of the company denied positively that the company had anything to do with the proposed new line of electric railway to Britannia and Aylmer. 26/12/1894 Ottawa Free Press Hull Electric Mr. Theophile Viau, promoter of the new electric railway scheme in Hull, has returned from Quebec where the question of the charter was before the provincial legislature. The compromise which he was successful in arranging with the P. & P. J. and C.P.R. companies will permit him to establish a line of electric railway from Hull to Aylmer and Gatineau Point. He is debarred, however, from building the line up to Chelsea and the Quyon. Although the refusal of a charter along the Gatineau road will mean considerably smaller profits to the shareholders, Mr. Viau does not imagine that it will put an end to the scheme. The matter will be put through the upper house today and no opposition is expected in this quarter. Mr. Viau, however, left for Quebec last evening to watch the progress of the bill in its final stages. The charter for electric lighting and heating has met with no opposition, and it is the intention of the company to proceed with the establishment of this system at an early date. July-13-21 Colin J. Churcher © Page 1 of 39 31/12/1894 Ottawa Free Press Hull Electric Mr. Theophile Viau of Hull returned on Saturday from Quebec where he had been attending to business in connection with his charter to operate a system of electric railway in Hull, Aylmer and Gatineau Point. It is said that he had secured himself from further opposition on the part of the C.P.R. and the Gatineau Valley Ry. by a written agreement. It is expected that his charter will be brought before the upper house on Wednesday of this week. 15/01/1895 Ottawa Free Press Hull Electric Among the bills assented to by the Lieutenant Governor of Quebec at the close of the legislature on Saturday was a measure confirming the franchise of the Hull Electric Company to run an electric railway from Hull to the village of Aylmer. More. 08/02/1895 Ottawa Journal Hull Electric Peter Ryan, ex-M.P.P. of Toronto has purchased the exclusive rights and privileges of the Hull Electric Ry. Co. of which Mr. T. Viau is the moving spirit. More 05/03/1895 Ottawa Journal Hull Electric The survey of the line of the electric railway along the Aylmer Road from Hull to Aylmer has been completed. Mr. Rainboth C.E. is now surveying an alternate route along the river bank. 27/03/1895 Ottawa Free Press Hull Electric It is understood that the negotiations which have been in progress between Mr. Theophile Viau the projector of the new electric railway between Hull and Aylmer and a wealthy syndicate of gentlemen in western Ontario are being renewed and the deal will either be closed or knocked on the head within a week. A gentleman who was negotiating the deal some time ago is expected in the city next week, when further developments may be expected. 09/04/1895 Ottawa Free Press Hull Electric Mr. Viau, of Hull, today stated that work on the electric railway in Hull would be started when the frost has left the ground. He hoped to have the cars running this summer and the construction will be rushed ahead with that intent. The plans and specifications being all arranged, it will be only a question of securing the right of way between Hull and Aylmer, which he anticipates little difficulty in obtaining. The alternate routes are now under consideration and a choice will be made shortly. As for the electric lighting, it will probably stand over till the road is in operation. It is believed by most of the prominent Hull citizens that the electric railway will be running next summer as promised by Mr. Viau and his associates.

  • Changes in Bridge Engineering, and a New Bridge Over a Unesco World Heritage Site
    CHANGES IN BRIDGE ENGINEERING, AND A NEW BRIDGE OVER A UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITE William Victor Anderson, P.Eng., Executive Vice President, Delcan Sylvain Montminy, P.Eng., Division Manager, Delcan Abdol Nouraeyan, P.Eng., Program Manager, City of Ottawa Marcel Delph, P.Eng., Senior Project Manager, City of Ottawa Paper prepared for presentation at the STRUCTURES: BRIDGES IN A CLIMATE OF CHANGE Session of the 2009 Annual Conference of the Transportation Association of Canada Vancouver, British Columbia ABSTRACT Some 35 years ago the St. Patrick Street Bridge over the Rideau River in the City of Ottawa was replaced. It was proposed that the new bridge be an arch bridge, replacing the existing functionally obsolete multi-span concrete arch which had been at the site since the 1920s, but respectful of the heritage of the site and the crossing. However, in the then-prevailing climate of bridge design, a more conventional post-tensioned concrete multi-span slab bridge was selected for design, and it was constructed in 1975. It might be described as functional but perhaps uninspiring. Since then the steel box girder Hunt Club Bridge has been constructed over the Rideau River, and the Cummings Bridge has been rehabilitated, amongst other bridge works over the river. Similarly the Bank Street Arch Bridge and the Plaza Bridge over the Rideau Canal have been restored. As well, in the intervening years the Rideau Canal has now been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and is on the National Register of Historic Sites in Canada. It is now proposed that another new bridge over the Rideau River and Rideau Canal be constructed near the south limit of the City.

  • Brawling Bytown
    City History Hunt: Brawling Bytown OTTAWA RIVER STONY MONDAY RIOT RIDEAU CANAL SAPPER’S BRIDGE Rideau Canal The construction of the Rideau Canal brought many European settlers and immigrants, mainly French and Irish. The disparities between the French and Irish began with the Rideau Canal, as the Irish were given more dangerous jobs. Many of the poor Irish workers couldn’t afford land or housing upon arrival in Bytown, leading them to build rough shanties along the canal and Parliament Hill. Fights were common amongst canal workers and other inhabitants of Bytown; however, they often grew into larger feuds due to the various religious, ethnic, and linguistic differences of Bytown’s residents. John By didn’t want this affecting the canal’s construction, so he installed a boxing ring on LeBretton Flats in an attempt to reduce the brawls between the French and English. Ottawa River After the completion of the Rideau Canal, the lumber industry became the leading source of employment in Bytown. However, there were not enough jobs for all the former canal workers and the lumber barons had a preference for French Canadians. A gang of unemployed Irish emerged called the Shiners who attempted to take over the lumber industry through intimidation and violence. This began a period of great violence in Bytown known as the Shiner Wars. Peter Aylen, “King of the Shiners”, quickly began leading the gang in sending threats of severed horse ears to their rivals. Yet, many of the Irish also remembered him as a very kind man. The French had Figure 1: Joseph Montferrand their own leader, Joseph Montferrand (Big Joe Mufferaw).
