Scope and content
Records consist of newspaper clippings, articles, speeches, research on tunnels and tolls, Quebec legislation, reports, administrative documents and correspondence. The materials are from MacLeod’s time on the Montreal Municipal and Economic Councils. The included Quebec legislation mainly consists of Bill 100 and documents and by-laws related to permits, public halls, and construction across the city. The series also includes administrative documents of both committees, such as a list of members, meeting minutes, and votes. The correspondence relates to Canadian public transportation and traffic issues in Montreal, as well as the development of the Victoria Bridge. Additionally, there is an enclosed picture of the St. Lawrence River overlaid with a sketch of the proposed Victoria Bridge from the firm Monsarrat & Pratley.
