It is expected that construction will be , commenced within a couple of \ve"eks and that the road will be finished this year. Work will include considerable rock cutting for a short distance between the Gillis ranch and the Matheson ranch. The engineer; hopes also to change the road between Okanagan Falls and Vasseaux- l<ake this summer in order to take it to .the level of Okanagan River, instead of its^ present up hill and down dale route. ■With these two proposed changes autumn should see a water grade auto road all the way from Penticton to Oroyille.
