May it please Your Honour: Herewith 1 beg respectfully to submit the Annual Beport of my Department for the fiscal year ending March 31st, 1923, in compliance with the provisions of the " Public Works Act." W. H. SUTHERLAND, Minister of Public Works. Department of Public Works, Parliament Buildings, Victoria, B.C., September 30th, .7923. PUBLIC WORKS REPORT. REPORT OF THE PUBLIC AVORKS ENGINEER. Parliament Buildings, Victoria, B.C., August 7th, 1923. J. B. Griffith, Esq., Deputy Minister of Public Works, Victoria, B.C. Sir,—I have the honour to submit my report for the fiscal year 1922-23. Organization and Labour. With the merited promotion of T. Kilpatrick, the Provincial Superintendent of Bridges and Buildings, to the General Managership of the Pacific Great Eastern Railway, some changes in the staff were necessary. District Engineer Carruthers was made Provincial Bridge Engineer, and Major R. M. Taylor, Assistant District Engineer, North Okanagan District, was promoted to the District Engineer's office at Prince Rupert. Elsewhere, for the betterment of the service, a few changes were made in the Engineering staff. It was with genuine regret that the Department accepted the resignation of Mr. Kilpatrick, whose capable and conscientious services during a period of twelve years had won for him the greatest respect and keen admiration alike of Minister and members of the staff. Labour-supply was sufficient to meet demands, the Department in many districts arranging the day-labour programme so as not to conflict with the busy agricultural periods which absorb local labour. Although conditions were not so acute as in the previous years, some work had to be undertaken during the winter months as relief measures. Roads and TrjUls. The year's programme of work was not so extensive as formerly, the major work having been concerned with the completion of roads commenced in the previous year. Such important trunk highways as the Rossland-Christina Lake section of the Trans-Provincial Highway and the Three Valle.y-Taft -portion of the Eagle Pass Road were made available not only to an appreciative travelling public, but also to the many interested settlers awaiting road connection with the general highway system. Considerable portions of the Cariboo Road between Quesnel and Fort George and of the Ymir Road between Nelson and the United States boundary were well advanced during the year. An important undertaking was the construction of the 13 miles of the Yellowhead Pass Road between Mount Olie and Black Pool. With a view to providing a direct highway outlet from the Arrow Lakes to the Okanagan, the Edgewood- Vernon Road was extended 4 miles between Sand Creek and Deep Creek. While all the roads mentioned are trunk highways of considerable assistance to settlers, several miles of lateral roads were constructed specially for settlers' benefits in the irrigated areas at Oliver, the Fort George District, and in the Omineca District. The Department is particularly anxious to accommodate bona-fide settlers, and it is safe to say that all reasonable applications for justifiable road connections were granted. While individually generally of a short length, such settlers' roads in the aggregate comprise a considerable mileage involving a fair propo 'tion of our highway funds. As much of the work as possible was undertaken by contract (details of which will be found in a separate report), and as usual the results were very satisfactory. Due chiefly to more stable conditions, favourable unit prices were in evidence amongst the increased number of contractors tendering. The annual addition to our road mileage necessarily increases our responsibilities for maintenance and the day-labour forces have been kept busy in an endeavour to conserve the original type of construction. Greater attention was devoted to gravel surfacing of important travelled highways. With more motor-trucks available for hauling, it has been possible to gravel a larger mileage than formerly. The greater use of tractors has resulted in improved methods of dragging and reshaping highways at suitable seasons. As motor-vehicles are now in evidence wherever there are a few miJes of roads, greater attention has had to be given to keeping the roads passable for this type of transportation. It is surprising the amount of good work accomplished by patrol gangs on high- C 6 Public Works Report (1922-23). ways in the outlying districts, considering the comparatively small funds at their disposal. If the marked decrease of complaints as to road conditions generally is any index of the public's appreciation of the Department's efforts to provide as good highways as is financially practicable, then it is safe to conclude that the public is reasonably satisfied with present progress. Surveys. In continuance of the Department's policy not to build any road or bridge before proper surveys of all available locations have been made by competent engineers, there have been extensive surveys undertaken in all parts of the Province. As a result thereof, road- locations with good alignment and the best procurable grades have been procured. Further reconnaissance-survey work was carried out in connection with the various proposed routes for a highway connecting the Coast with the Interior. Hard-surfacing. While the amount of hard-surfacing was only 8.07 miles, or less than half the mileage of the previous year (having been confined chiefly to the Trans-Provincial Highway between New Westminster and Chilliwack), it must be remembered that extensive grading and filling work were undertaken preparatory to paving the year following. As usual, the paving-work was of a high order, evoking very favourable comment from the travelling public. Federal Aid. This year marked the completion of the programme under the " Canada Highways Act, 1919," the Department having earned its share (approximately $1,252,000) of the .'j>20,000,000 Federal grant about eighteen months ahead of the five-year period ending March 31st, 1924. Full details of the projects accomplished are given in a separate report. A considerable portion of the construction-work was personally inspected by Chief Commissioner Campbell, Ottawa, who amply testified as to the general excellence of the type and nature of construction. Opportunity is here taken to place on record the splendid services and co-operative efforts consistently rendered by W. A. Gonriay, the Dominion Inspecting Engineer, in furthering this very important work. Classification of Highways. Further work of classifying highways considered by the Department to be entitled to classification was undertaken. The following table will serve to illustrate the situation as at March 31st, 1923:— Total No. No. receiving Aid. Mileage, Primary. Mileage, Secondary. Total Mileage, Classified. 33 2-8 1 11 10.31 12.71 21 j 103.55 | 143.10 23.02 246.74 Totals 61 1 32 1 113.Sfi 155.00 200.76 Full particulars of the highways classified in city and district municipalities will be found in a separate statement. As was anticipated, this policy of the Department to confine its expenditures in organized districts to such classified highways is functioning satisfactorily. It is worthy of special comment that the various Councils and their officials are now endeavouring to co-operate fully with the Department and its officials in an attempt to bring such highways to such a generally good condition as available funds will permit. Bridges. The Department was fortunate in having amongst its District Engineers one with both theoretical and practical knowledge of bridge-construction, and A. L. Carruthers will prove a worthy successor to T. Kilpatrick. As a result of the Iatter's thorough inspection periodically of all bridges of any consequence, there has been a marked improvement in the maintenance of bridges, much economical renewal 1S11HBS: ■lifiliBii Trans-Provincial Highway, Delta District.

C 7 and repair work having been done to prolong the life of many partially defective structures. The construction-work has also been of a generally high order owing to more careful inspection of both materials and workmanship. A gratifying feature of the bridge-work is the increasing amount of day-labour construction very satisfactorily and economically undertaken. Such achievements have been rendered possible through the training of special bridge-construction crews under competent foremen. In furthering its policy to replace important timber structures with steel, the Department constructed a substantial steel bridge of 200-foot span on concrete abutments over the Coquitlam River at Port Coquitlam (see photograph). A contract was also awarded for the construction ot a steel structure to replace the timber bridge over the Columbia River at Revelstoke, and some of the substructure was undertaken during the winter. Following are other important bridges constructed during the fiscal year:— Name. Location. Type, etc. OO-foot Howe truss-pile piers. 130-foot Howe truss-concrete abutments. 150-foot Howe truss-concrete piers. 87-foot Howe deck-frame bent piers and approaches. 100-foot Howe truss-pile piers. 160-foot Howe truss-concrete piers. Slmswap River SO-foot queen truss. One 180-foot Howe truss-pile piers. One 60-foot king truss-pile piers. Ferries. The Department now operates directly .or indirectly fifty-two ferries, of which six are subsidized. Twenty-four of the ferries 'are of the pontoon type. Five are steam or gas boats. A detailed list of all ferries is given in a separate report, which shows the type of ferry and traffic returns thereon. With the exception of eight ferries, the ferry services are free. Even where tariffs are charged, the receipts on Government-owned ferries are not generally sufficient to meet the operating costs, a fact not generally known to those benefiting by the ferry services. The new ferries installed or renewed during the fiscal year were:— Agassiz-Roscdale, Fraser River: Boat with two 35-horse-power gas-engines. Donald, Columbia River : Scow. Fort St. James, Stuart River: Pontoon. Taylor's Flat, Peace River: Scow writh gas-engine. Francois Lake: Steel hull, double-ended twin screw with two 30-horse-power engines. Extensive river-bank protection and clearing of the river-bed, etc., were undertaken on the Vedder River with a view to preventing erosion of the river-banks and the roads abutting thereon and to overcome the flooding of valuable land. The work, which was done under the provisions of the "River-bank Protection Act" (the only application received since the Act was passed in March, 1919), has already proved beneficial to the many property-owners and interests directly and indirectly involved. Unless the work is amply justified in the protection and preservation of roads and bridges, the Department is not carrying out such protection-work to the same extent as formerly, thereby effecting considerable saving in expenditures. Regulation of Vehicular Traffic. Some progress was made towards limiting the loads on main-trunk highways in the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island. Restrictions were placed on vehicular traffic during the winter period. Judging from the observations of the district officials, the owners and operators of trucks are gradually coming to recognize the need for " limiting the loads to suit the road " as the essential requirement in the conservation of the road-bed. There is, however, still great need for educating truck-drivers in the matter of regulating not only the load but also the speed of trucks. C 8 Public Works Report (1922-23). General. During the year as many inspection trips as time would permit were made throughout the Province. In this way not only were the chief construction-works inspected and the road system travelled over in person, but considerable first-hand information was obtained about a large number of problems under consideration by the Department. In this connection I would like to place on record the helpful assistance rendered by and the valuable data obtained from such public bodies as Boards of Trade, Farmers' Institutes, etc. The Department is endeavouring, as far as practicable, to co-operate with all organizations with a view to providing and maintaining public works for " the greatest good of the greatest number." As for the help derived from and the splendid work generally done by the District Engineers, the Supervising Architect, and their assistants, I have nothing but gratitude and praise to offer. The excellent results which have been achieved during this year have, in a very large measure, been due to the unfailing support and advice which I have received both from the Honourable the Minister and yourself. I wish also to take this opportunity of thanking the members of the Public Works Department for their loyal support and hearty co-operation in satisfactorily carrying out the various duties entrusted to them. The accompanying reports of the District Engineers and the Supervising Architect are more comprehensive than usual and are well worthy of careful perusal. All of which is respectfully submitted. P. PHILIP, Public Works Engineer. ENGINEERING DISTRICT No. 1. (Note.—The position of District Engineer having been abolished, the Assistant District Engineers, etc., now report direct to the Public Works Engineer, Victoria.) Report of W. P. Beavan, Assistant District Engineer for Alberni District. Roads and Trails.—A distinct improvement in the maintenance of roads throughout the district was noticeable during the year; this is partly due to a better state of discipline of foremen and others engaged on our work, together with trie use of motor equipment. The few complaints received were not due to work improperly done, but to lack of funds to do the work. No extensive construction-work from the district vote funds was done. The most important on the year's list was No. 178, Pratt's Road, where work preparatory to the completion of that between the Canadian Highway and Grafton Avenue is well advanced. Under the "Highway Loan Act, 1920," the Island Highway for a distance of 1.25 miles north of Wellington Station was rebuilt, weak spots being carefully made up with crushed rock, the road ditched throughout, and corrugated-iron culverts installed. The road at this place parallels Long Lake. Under the " Highway Loan Act, 1920," construction on No. 19 Ueluelet-Tofino Road, was resumed. Very little new work had been done on this road since about the year 1914, except for some preparatory work, such as stumping and grubbing in readiness for grading, that it was possible to do from district vote moneys during the preceding three years. The road when completed«will serve a considerable volume of business and should prove not the least among the tourist attractions of the Island. The location of the road, approximately 100 feet above sea- level, where the first view of the ocean is to be had, is such that a wide panorama is afforded, the full extent of Long Beach to the east and west being taken in. Mining Trails.—Vote 301, " Mines Development Act": All work under this heading was done by the several persons interested in the respective mining properties, with the exception of the work on the China Creek Trail. This work was only partly completed by Department forces; work was stopped with the advent of winter and will be resumed as soon as possible this year. Bridges.—No extensive reconstruction was done during the year, the work being principally the replacement of old log-stringer structures by standard timber trestles, the average cost of which was $7 per lineal foot. Where this figure is exceeded the cost per lineal foot includes log-crib or bulk-head work and fills. This satisfactory result is due to the employment of . ■ * <* ,- - - Ti ■' ■■■ I'l'Ti^"' "••':■ .

Cathcart as Bridge Foreman, and you will note that, for instance, at Bridge 184, Quatsino, the . cost, inclusive of all supervision charges, is $8.40 per lineal foot. There is nothing cf special importance to report in connection with bridge maintenance for the year. The cost of clearing snow from the bridges during the winter exceeded that necessary in previous years, as in places snow lay to a depth of 5 feet and was followed' by heavy rainfall. The only damage done by the weight of snow was to Bridge 107, McCoy Lake Road, Alberni, a log-stringer structure built in 1913, where three stringers cracked. Miscellaneous Works.—River-bank protection work at French Creek, immediately above Bridge 23 on the Island Highway at Parksville, was done. This work has so far held well, but it should be extended before the: new bridge is built. A large log-jam was removed from Cameron River at the point where this river parallels the Canadian Highway immediately east of the Alberni Summit. Further work will be necessary from time to time at the same place. An addition to this Department's cabin at Cameron Lake, on the Canadian Highway, was built, enabling the accommodation of a larger gang. Report of O. W. Smith, Assistant District Engineer for Comox District. The writer took over the work in this district on June 1st, 1922. At that time the spring repairs on the roads had been carried out, but the major portion of the year's programme of work liad not heen started. After reorganizing the office staff and work, which occupied about three weeks, I visited the various parts of the district as rapidly as it could be arranged, and instructed the foremen about the work to be done. In July the Merville area, Salmon River territory, and portions of the Mainland were subjected to destructive forest fires. These fires burned out five bridges in the Merville area, four in the Salmon River territory, one at Shushartie, and one on the Mainland. In addition, a number of small culverts were destroyed or damaged. This unlooked-for contingency caused much extra work and expense. During the winter season two snow-storms, one in December and the second in February, tied up traffic on our roads, thereby requiring expenditure out of the road vote for clearing and breaking out the most-travelled portions of our highways in thisi territory. Several new farm roads were constructed during the year and a number of old logging- grades taken over in the Merville Land Settlement Area. Trunk roads in the Courtenay area were maintained in good condition for traffic. Bridges.—Eleven bridges which were burned out by forest fires were either replaced by new structures or with culverts and fills. The Salmon River Suspension Bridge at the second crossing was completed and a new bridge built at Trent River. Eeplanking and repairs were carried out on a number of bridges in different, parts of the district. Numerous applications were received for the construction of new roads in outlying parts of the district, but in most cases funds were not available for the new work applied for. About $5,000 of a special appropriation was expended on the construction of roads in the Merville Land Settlement Area. The rapid increase of high-speed motor traffic on the roads in this district results in a steady demand for more and better roads. The maintenance work on all roads, and especially the main roads, has greatly increased owing to the ever-increasing motor traffic of all descriptions. Surveys for the purpose of establishing the permanent location of portions of our main roads are needed. Funds are now being spent annually in the maintenance and betterment of roads which have never been properly located. If a permanent location were made, a portion of the annual expenditure could be devoted to bringing these roads to a more satisfactory and permanent state. Report of P. J. Campbell, General Road Fore.vian for Islands and Saanich Districts. Roads.—In the Islands District 3 miles of new road were constructed and a rock-crusher (installed the year previous) operated with excellent results. A large amount of regrading, ditching, and installation of new culverts w~as done and several miles of new road located. Bridges.—Several new bridges were built and some reconstructed; minor repairs being made to others. Work done in Saanich District consisted mainly of maintenance and cutting off bad corners. PROVINCIAL- LIBRARY. VICTORIA, B- C C 10 Public Works Report (1922-23). Report of C. A. Helgesen, General Road Foreman for Esquimalt Electoral District. Roads.—On taking over the Esquimalt District on July 15th, 1922, I found that there was approximately $17,000 unexpended in the district vote, besides highway loan to the extent of $2,500 for improvements on the Sooke Road and $3,500 for the Malahat Drive. Dealing first with the highway loan, that allotted to Sooke Road wasi used to complete the diversion at Cooper's Cove, also to reconstruct approximately 1% miles of road from Sooke River Bridge West, on the main road. The Cooper's Cove diversion has been a marked improvement, as it did away with a dangerous curve at approach to Naylor's Hill. The reconstruction, including drainage, etc., stood the winter well. The Malahat Drive allotment was used to crush rock and dump same at most needed points for winter and spring deposit and to widen the road at bad bends, etc., and has given good results, as the condition of the Malahat Drive through last winter will testify. Owing to the smallness of the district vote no new work was undertaken other than to carry out work previously laid out. One new road was built to give access from Metchosin Cross-road to Sections 9 and 10 (Beckingham's) ; length, one-half mile. In the fall there was introduced the section patrol system, whereby one light truck with driver and three men were given a section, averaging 30 miles, of main and side roads to keep in repair. In spite of limited funds this system has been an unqualified success. The special grant of $10,000 made this spring to relieve unemployment, coming at a time when the district vote funds were almost nil, not only achieved its purpose, but also enabled many needed improvements to be made to roads throughout the district. Bridges.—Bridge-work had all been laid out before I took over the district. This comprised building one new bridge on Millstream Road and repairs to various bridges in the district, re-decking, re-covering deck, etc. In the early spring work was started on new cut and fill at Bridge No. 11-1 (Albert Head Twin). This has been completed and has been much appreciated by the residents and users of Albert Head Road, as not only was 218 feet of old bridge cut out, but the road is shortened and the grade lessened. Every reasonable opportunity is being taken to substitute permanent cut and fill work for bridges, which are very numerous in the district, many of these being too light for traffic. Repobt of C. Donnelly, Assistant District Engineer for Cowichan, NaNjVIMO, and Newcastle Districts. Roads and Trails.—The following new work was carried out at Cowichan: One mile of Anderson's Road, being part of Silver Mine Trail; three-quarters of a mile of Shawnigan-Mill Bay Road Diversion; continuation of the Forrest-Hillbank Road; and clearing and slashing Shawnigan Lake Station Road. In addition to usual ma'intenance-work, a very considerable number of improvements were effected. The roads were maintained in very fair repair throughout the year and the few complaints from the public were given immediate and satisfactory attention. Excessive snow and logging operations were responsible for most of the complaints. During the winter severe frost, and especially an abnormal snowfall, caused extensive damage. The clearing of this snow from the Island Highway and mail routes used up a lot of the appropriation. Almost immediately the frost left the ground grading was commenced, but unfortunately dry wreather accompanied by hot wind dried up the surface so rapidly that very little grading could be effectively carried out. Logging traffic on the by-roads has been very heavy in places, but was curtailed during the period frost was coming out of the ground. The new traffic regulations proved of great value and enabled the Department to curtail and limit heavy traffic during the critical time in the spring. Particular care and attention were given to ditching and drainage and a very considerable amount was carried out. Bridges.—The old Wilkinson Bridge, No. 7-109, over Millstream, on the Island Highway, 14 miles south of the City of Duncan, was completely replaced by a new one, measuring 200 lineal feet; the type being standard king truss 64 feet, with framed bent approaches. The deck or floor level was raised 4 feet, and this not only improved the grade, but saved a large sum which otherwise would have been required for false-work. McBride Point, Cameron Lake, Bridge 1-56, Canadian Highway, 13 miles from Alberni. 14 Geo. 5 Report of Engineer, District No. 2. C 11 The old king truss on Pimbury Bridge, No. 7-90, was replaced by a new one at a cost of $1,633 and the work was quickly finished. Traffic was not inconvenienced at all, a good diversion being open before the bridge was closed. Twenty-three bridges were repaired and are in good order and minor repairs to twenty-five others were carried out. River-bank Protection.—The river-bank at Haslam Creek Bridge, No. 22-17, was in great danger. This was overcome by securing wire rope to the piles of the retaining-wall and passing the ropes under the road and anchoring the ends to trees. The retaining-wall, which was erected some years ago to protect the bank and road, was being undermined and falling out of plumb. Farther south protection-work had to be done to prevent the creek at this location from cutting through its bank and the South Wellington Road, which follows the creek a short distance here. The current was also diverted, to some extent by cutting a new channel and the stones removed therefrom used for this work in conjunction with fascines. This work saved the creek-bank and the road, also the approaches to the bridge. Work of a similar nature was carried out at Cowichan Bay to protect the Island Highway, which runs alongside the bay. Large log-jams wrere removed from Haslam Creek and the Nanaimo River. General.—About seventy road-signs, some necessary danger-signs, and a few railway-crossing signs were erected. The road-signs were very necessary and have supplied a long-felt public want. Tarvia has been very successfully used with gravel (just sufficient tarvia to coat the pebbles) at the approaches to floors of bridges for a strip about 2 feet wide. It prevents ravel and keeps the gravel in place, doing away with the nasty jolts to cars crossing. Returned soldiers were given work whenever possible. No relief-work has been carried out this year. Some $1,500 was spent on the Holdeu-Corso Road from the " Highway Loan, 1920." "Mines Development Act."—Work was done at the end of Sutton Trail on the Chemainus River and the Silver Leaf Group of Mineral Claims Trail from Cowichan Lake to Jump River. REPORT OF ENGINEER, DISTRICT No. 2. District Engineer's Office, Court-house, New Westminster, B.C., May 15th, 1923. P. Philip, Esq., Public Works Engineer, Victoria, B.C. Sir,—I beg to submit annual report for year 1922-23 for District No. 2, comprising Chilliwack, Delta, Dewdney, North Vancouver, New Westminster, South Vancouver, Richmond, and a portion of Yale Electoral Districts. Chilliwack District.—The most important works carried out during the year were as follows:— Paving on the Provincial Highway, Project No. 9, Section G: This section of highway runs easterly a distance of 3.07 miles from the eastern boundary of Chilliwack City. The pavement is 16 feet wide and has a 2-inch bithulithic wearing surface, Type B, on a 3-inch asphaltic concrete base. The existing macadam road was scarified to such a depth as to provide sufficient material to make up the subgrade and lS-inch shoulders. Practically no material was borrowed for the shoulders for the first 2% miles. It was found necessary to haul gravel to form all the shoulders on the last half" a mile of the contract, the depth of metalling on this section not being sufficient to stand scarifying. The old road-bed provided an excellent foundation for the pavement, with the exception of about 200 feet at the west end of the work, which had to be back-filled. Some trouble was encountered with the 6-inch water-pipe laid under the road-bed. A good through drainage system was provided for by side-ditches being dug along both sides of the entire pavement. Concrete pipe was used for all culverts. Vedder River-bank Protection: The work of reconstructing the Vedder River wall was started in September, under the terms of the " River-bank Protection Act." The work was divided into two sections—A and B; A section comprised the rebuilding of the rock wall and C 12 Public Works Report (1922-23). B section the clearing, straightening, deepening, and general improvements of the river between the British Columbia Electric Railway Bridge and the Vedder River Crossing, a distance of S1^ miles. B section was supervised by F. N. Sinclair, Chief Engineer of the Sumas dyking Si'beme. The work progressed favourably until the first week of December. From that date to the middle of February the work was held up considerably owing to heavy snow and general stormy weather, but by the end of the year about two-thirds of the work was completed. Approximately 7,000 cubic yards of large-sized rock were hauled on flat cars from the quarry to the rock-fill, a distance of 2,200' fee+, 113 acres of log-jams were burnt and cleared from the river, and 2,100 cubic yards of excavation were done on the opening-up of new channels. Chilliwack River Road: The work of connecting up the road around the gravel-slide, a distance of 1,100 feet on the Chilliwack River Road, was started about March 1st. The river was diverted back into the old channel and a cedar log crib, 750 feet in length, built around the base of the slide and filled in with heavy boulders from the slide. When this work is completed a through road will be established for vehicular traffic, a distance of 7 miles up the valley, serving a number of settlers and opening up considerable new territory. Previous to this diversion the only means of access was by fording two crossings of the river in low water, or a pack-trail on the higher level during freshets. Ferries: The new Agassiz-Rosedale Ferry " Sea Wolf," which was built by the New Westminster Marine Railway Company, went into commission on June 3rd, 1922. This ferry is of double-ended construction, driven by two Atlas 35-horse-power gasolene-engines, and is capable of carrying nine automobiles. From June 3rd to March 31st 4,225 autos, 620 rigs, 9,620 passengers, 320 animals, and approximately 100 tons of freight were transported. The ferry has given excellent service, although during the low-water period it was unable to land at the permanent slip on the Rosedale side. A suitable site was found about a quarter of a mile down the river with the required depth of water close to the river-bank. A large log float was built to serve as a landing, which proved very satisfactory. Three weeks in December the ferry was tied up on account of a heavy ice-flow. The river became jammed; the water and ice, then raised about 18 feet high, was left on either bank. General: The remaining work consisted of ordinary maintenance and repairs on the gravel roads throughout the district. About 15,000 cubic yards of gravel were hauled and spread over the Trans-Provincial Highway. Repairs were also made to several bridges. A considerable amount of ditching was done and several old cedar culverts were replaced with concrete pipe. The additional two Ford trucks granted to this district have reduced the cost of maintenance and general repairs and have proved to be serviceable for patrolling the respective beats. Delta District.—During the past year a considerable amount of permanent highway was constructed through the district. From the Johnston Road to the Serpentine Flats, a distance of 2.9 miles, was surfaced with an 18-foot wide and 7-inch thick concrete pavement. The subgrade encountered on this stretch was ideal. The usual care was taken to provide adequate drainage. On the stretch of the Provincial Highway from Langley Prairie to Murrayville, a distance of 1.89 miles, a 16-foot concrete pavement was laid. This replaces one of the worst sections of the highway, between New Westminster and Chilliwack, to maintain. Particular care was paid to provide adequate drainage, the culverts generally being enlarged and constructed with metal-pipe culverts. This stretch of paving is probably the most popular piece of pavement undertaken by the Department in recent years. As it was altogether likely that the fill constructed across the Serpentine Flats would be paved during the coming fiscal year, and also that the Pacific Highway from Cloverdale to the International Boundary would be paved, it was decided to undertake any tilling that would be required in order to have a subgrade ready for an early start on paving next year. With this in view, about 11,000 cubic yards of material were placed on the Serpentine Flats fill to provide shoulders and to bring up the embankment to grade where it had settled since construction. On the Nicomekl Flats, a distance of about 3.03 miles, it was found necessary to raise the roadway preparatory to paving, in order to have the embankment above the annual flood-level of the Nicomekl River. About 20,000 cubic yards of material were placed in this fill, making the new road formation 25 feet wide and approximately 18 inches above the old roadway. The material used was a run-of-bank gravel and this proved extremely satisfactory, and although Cariboo Road, Project 16, Section B. Looking north from Station 174 + 00. December 6th, 1922.

C 13 the roadway was at no time closed to traffic during the carrying-out of the work, there was no inconvenience to the travelling public, as the material used was of a first-rate road-building quality. Ditches averaging 5 feet deep were dug along both sides of the new embankment and numerous culverts provided, in order to prevent the new embankment, in any sense, becoming a dyke during high water in the Nicomekl. The rest of the work throughout the district consisted of the usual maintenance for the upkeep of the gravelled roads on the Trans-Provincial Highway and the Pacific Highway. The tourist traffic was exceedingly heavy and a great deal of attention was paid to patching and grading the roads to keep them in good repair. Where found necessary, several narrow sections of the road were widened out. Considerable ditching was done throughout the district. The Johnston and McLennan Road detours were maintained during the paving of the highway. These detours required close attention on account of the poor condition of these roads, which were very narrow for the heavy tourist traffic. Canoe Pass Bridge: A contract was let to build ferry landings at Canoe Pass, and it has been decided to use a ferry to replace the Canoe Pass Bridge, which is considered to be dangerous for traffic owing to the scouring-out of the foundation of the piers. Generally speaking, the gravel roads throughout the district are in better condition at the end of this year than they have been at any time during previous years. Dewdney District.—In Dewdney District the greater portion of expenditure on roads was for general repairs and maintenance. Little road-construction was undertaken in the last year, with the exception of the loco-Port Moody Road and the Ioco-Sunnyside Road. On the loco-Port Moody Road about $3,400 was expended in spreading gravel. This work having been done in the late spring, there is every reason to suppose that the numerous inhabitants of loco will be freed from the period of isolation each winter during the frosty season. The work on the Ioco-Sunnyside Road consisted of the completion of the section from the loco Townsite to the old road. The new road shows a marked improvement in grade and a vastly better surface. About $3,600 was expended on this road. The po'rtion of Section 2, Dewdney Trunk Road, passing through the ground of the Mental Hospital at Essondale was resurfaced with a 3-inch bituminous macadam top. This section is now in first-class condition. Generally speaking, the roads in Dewdney District were in an excellent state of repair at the close of the past fiscal year. The freshet of the Fraser River as usual caused some trouble at Nicomen Island, but owing to the fact that the dykes were broken on the river-front no large expenditure was made in attempting to keep out the water. Bridges: In bridge-work a 20O-foot steel span on concrete piers supported by piles was constructed across the Coquitlam River at Coquitlam to replace the two 120-foot wooden Howe trusses, one of which was destroyed during the flood of October, 1921. The removal of the centre pier has resulted in the river adopting a course practically iu the centre of the channel. With a greater clearance at this bridge and the Canadian Pacific Railway Bridge, immediately above, a repetition of the flooding which occurred through the town in October, 1921, will not likely occur. The Provincial Government, together with the Dominion Government, constructed a diversion at a point near Essondale, thereby avoiding a large log-jam and straightening the channel. The benefit of this diversion has already been realized by the cessation of flooding of the adjoining roads at slight rises of the river. Ferries: The ferry landings at Mission were completely reconstructed from the piles up, with the exception of 7C0 feet along the dyke at Matsqui, which portion was filled with gravel hauled from near Abbotsford. The cost of constructing this fill was less than the estimated cost for repairs, and no further expense, other than slight maintenance, will be incurred on this portion. At the Boys' Industrial School the Public Works Department carried on grading operations and improvement of the ground for the Attorney-General's Department. North Vancouver District.—Vhe work carried out in this district differs very slightly from that of former years. Generally speaking, a; decided improvement can be seen on ail the roads and trails in the district. Very little new development has taken place. The Healey Trail and the Bargain Harbour Trail were the two to receive most attention during the year. The Squamish District has been a very costly one to carry during the year owing to the floods taking the road out at several places, and also the river making heavy cutting into the roads. The amount of money spent in this district on roads was $4,200.87; river-bank protection, $2,251.05; bridges, $4,608.05; dykes. $20.76; making a total of $11,000.55. In the Pemberton Valley District considerable improvements have been made. Two miles of the main road have been reconstructed. There have been several bridges repaired and two 100-foot Howe trusses replaced over the Lillooet. New Westminster District.—The River Road was surfaced with Tarvia " B " flush-coat. The work on other streets in the district required general repairs, which consisted of grading, gravelling, clearing, and ditching. Richmond District.—During the above year in the Richmond District there has been very little of any new work done. Considerable work has been done, however, in the matter of repairing the Marine Drive, Imperial Street, and No. 3 Road. Bridges: Replacement of the Bburne Bridges by more permanent structures requires earnest consideration. The Howe trusses are very old, and although there is not a very great sign of decay noticeable in the timber, these trusses have now reached the age limit) of their usefulness. Ferries: The Ladner-Woodward Ferry ran during the year fairly well to schedule, except during the ice-flow in the river, when it was impossible to navigate with safety. This ferry has been running considerably under the last year's cost, due to the fact that much less fuel is being used and great care is being taken of the supplies by the officers in charge. During the spring of the year, when the easterly gales were prevalent, the pontoon at the Woodward's Landing sunk, and during the operation of raising a temporary landing had to be made for passengers and milk, this being the only other matter which marred the schedule of the ferry. University site: As a measure of relief for the benefit of unemployed married men or single men with dependents, the sum of $100,000 was allotted by the Government during Christmas week to be expended in clearing and improving the lands adjacent to the University Reserve at Point Grey. These lands comprise a large area set aside to be sold for the purpose of constructing the University buildings. The area upon which it was decided to carry out initial clearing operations was that lying along both sides of Tenth Avenue from the University Reserve boundary to Blanca Street. The results obtained on the work were remarkable in view of the fact that no effort was made to select experienced men and no man was discharged for incompetency. A total area of over 100 acres was cleared and grubbed, while an additional area was cleared only. The cost per acre compared most favourably with estimates of experienced contractors. I wish to draw attention to the indefatigable efforts of the Superintendent, Mr. McAllister, to whose capable management the successful carrying-on of the operation was largely due. South Vancouver District.—In South Vancouver District the sum of $7,698.12 was expended in flush-coating Kingsway, in Burnaby Municipality. Also on the Hastings-Barnet Road $14,193.62 was expended in grading, ditching, and applying 4,056 cubic yards of gravel. The result of the gravelling has been a marked improvement, and this road, ordinarily impassable in the winter, remained in excellent condition through the frosty weather of 1922-23. On the Hastings-Barnet Road $2,823.98 was expended in repairing the section from Sperling Avenue to Barnet for gravelling during the coming year. The Government also participated in repairs to Riverway to the extent of $1,057.18, most of which was for permanent culverts. Other expenditures for maintenance on classified highways were made on Kingsway, Hastings-Barnet, River and North Roads; this work being done by the Municipality of Burnaby. Yale District.—In the portion of Yale District under our supervision the only construction- work carried out during the year was on the trunk road—West Side of Harrison Bay—2.47 miles having been built. This section of the road was mostly side-hill work of solid rock formation, the clearing being exceedingly heavy. The work was closed down, on August 1st. A pack-trail was constructed a distance of approximately 2 miles between Harrison Bay and Agassiz. The balance of the work in this district consisted of the usual maintenance and ditching. The Hope-Rosedale Road was greatly improved for traffic for this class of road, but mostly all the bridges are in poor condition and need replacing. ■■'■:- .'■■." J*23 WM : ;. 4 r. i \ - u0K^$ I .

All of which is respectfully submitted. E. H. Verner, District Engineer. REPORT OF ENGINEER, DISTRICT No. 3. District Engineer's Office, Kamloops, B.C., July 10th, 1923. P. Philip, Esq., Public Works Engineer, Victoria, B.C. Sir,—I beg to submit annual report for Kamloops and Yale Districts for the year 1922-23. Maintenance.—District No. 3 now comprises approximately 2,300 miles of roads, extending from the Coast climate with its rainy seasons into the Dry Belt with its cloudbursts. The year 1922-23 was rather disastrous from cloudburst damages, one storm on the Kam- loops-Merritt Road requiring $2,500 to repair the damage; other major damage occurred in the vicinity of Douglas Lake, Savoua, and Deadman Creek. Notwithstanding these unforeseen drains on our district votes and calls made on us for the construction of settlers' roads, practically every mile in the district was covered, either by grader or patrol gangs. Ford trucks were found very convenient for covering the outlying parts of /the district, where it would have been found too expensive to send a large gang with graders. Bridges.—While no large structures were built this year, a large number of smaller bridges had to be renewed and several new structures were built on the Kamloops-Yellowhead and Chase-Squilax-Sorrento Roads. The breaking of an irrigation storage-dam near Nicola partially destroyed two bridges, which had to be repaired at considerable cost. The usual amount of repair-work was done as recommended by the Bridge Engineer after his annual inspection trip. Ferries.—The district has thirteen cable-ferries and one tug and scow ferry, nine ferries being on the North Thompson River, one on the South Thompson, one on the Little River, one on the Shuswap Lake, and one on the Fraser River near Lytton. These ferries are inspected from time to time so as to ensure the safety of the public. In the winter they are usually pulled out of the water and given a thorough overhauling. During the past year the position of the Vavenby Ferry was changed so as to be more convenient for the people in the vicinity of Lost Creek. Construction.—Considerable work was done on the 1-Mile Creek Road, and while the public are now travelling over it, it is not yet completed. The most important piece of work done during the year was the start made on the Kamloops-Yellowhead Pass Project, 13 miles of heavy rock-work having been completed. On the Chase-Squilax-Sorrento Road (which when built will become a link in the main road between Chase and Salmon Arm) 6 miles were constructed during the year. Other construction was done under the district vote expenditure in the nature of colonization roads. Municipalities.—Three blocks (1,140 feet) in the City of Salmon Arm, classified as a secondary highway, were paved with a 6y2-inch concrete slab. The work was done by contract and was economically and efficiently carried out. In the City of Merritt that portion of the Merritt-Princeton Road lying within the municipality was scarified, regraded, and macadamized. Both of these works were done on a 50-50 basis with the municipalities. Work in the nature of macadamizing was also done on a 50-50 basis with the Rural Municipality of Salmon Arm. Surveys.—Surveys were made for the extension of the Kamloops-Yellowhead Pass Road as far as Blue River. Bridge surveys and soundings were made during the winter for the renewal of the Kamloops West Bridge, also for new bridges at Squilax, across the Little River, and at the Josephine Ranch across the North Thompson. Respectfully submitted. . G. B. Whitehead, District Engineer. C 16 Public Works Report (1922-23). REPORT OF ENGINEER, DISTRICT No. 4. District Engineer's Office, Penticton, B.C., May 25th, 1923. P. Philip, Esq., Public Works Engineer, Victoria, B.C. Sir,—I beg to submit herewith my general report of the work done in the above district during the fiscal year 1922-23. Roads.—On the main trunk roads throughout this district the traffic has increased very considerably during the past fiscal year. I would venture to state that our main highway from the International Boundary-line to Salmon Arm has to take care of more traffic and tonnage than any other road of the same length in the Interior of British Columbia. The approximate cost of the upkeep, including supervision, for the 2,690 miles of roads under my supervision averages $60 per mile. A very considerable amount of gravelling and other improvements, such as widening, etc., has been done, and, generally speaking, I think it can be said that the roads have been kept in very fair condition considering the amount of the appropriation. There have been very few complaints that could have been considered reasonable. Of course, at certain times of the year it is very difficult to maintain earth and gravel roads in perfect condition under heavy traffic. It is not an exaggeration to say that approximately 250,000 tons of produce are hauled over our main highway and arteries during the season. I find that, no matter how much attention is paid to roads of this class, it is impossible to keep them in condition, for the reason that the more work we put on the roads, especially when they are kept in perfect condition, the heavier are the loads that the farmers and others haul over them. Trucks hauling fruit and lumber of a gross load of from 10 to 12 tons per truck are now noticeable. It has been conclusively proven to me that our system of maintenance in the past is practically obsolete to-day in so far as the practice of distributing loose gravel to fill up chuck- holes, ruts, etc., is concerned. What we require for our main arteries is machinery—i.e., scarifiers, tractors, graders, and rollers—to break up and resurface the main trunk roads at least once a year. This system properly organized would probably cost less than the method we are using at present. This, of course, only applies to roads which have to accommodate this heavy traffic. Trails.—A considerable amount of work has been done in clearing out pack-trails for miners, fire rangers, timber-cruisers, and prospective settlers who wish to examine some of the unsettled areas with a view to taking up pre-emptions. Bridges.—One hundred and eight bridges have been repaired, thirty-two renewed, and two new structures erected. Of the new structures, one is a 132-foot Howe truss over the Tulameen River at Coalmont, and a 96-foot pile trestle over the Okanagan River to give access to lots under the Southern Okanagan Irrigation Project. New Howe-truss spans erected are as follows:— One 132-foot span with concrete abutments, Coalmont; one 160-foot span with concrete abutments and approaches over the Kettle River 6 miles east of Rock Creek; one 150-foot span with concrete abutments and approaches over the Kettle River at Carson; one 100-foot span with pile abutments and approaches at Grindrod over the Shuswap River; and one 90-foot span with pile abutments and approaches over the Kettle River near Beaverdell. The cost of these bridges has decreased about 20 per cent, over the last fiscal year. AVe can build as economically with well-organized day-labour as by contract. Ferries (all subsidised).—Three ferries are operated in this district, as follows: Shuswap Lake Steamboat Service, which runs,twice a week to Salmon Arm; Kelowna-Westbank Ferry, on our primary highway; and Summerland-Naramata Ferry. Ferrymen engaged in operating these ferries all report a considerable increase in traffic over the former years. First-class Highway Construction (Primary).—Some 33.5 miles of the above class of highway was constructed in this district during the last fiscal year, as follows: Kelowna-Vernon Road Diversion, 1 mile of this was constructed; Provincial Demonstration Farm to Osoyoos, 10 miles; on the Trans-Provincial Highway from 9-Mile Creek West—i.e., part of the Osoyoos- 9-MiIe Road—3Y2 miles. ^-?'t\:fi:.-?.p,K.

C 17 From Santa Rosa Creek Summit to Sophia Mountain Summit, in Rossland District, completing the link between Cascade and Rossland, 19 miles. This completes the link from Princeton to Nelson or Lytton to Nelson. All this was very heavy construction; in fact, I do not know of any road in British Columbia of a heavier type than the 42 miles between Christina Lake aud Rossland. The main points of rise and fall are as follows: Christina Lake to Santa Rosa Summit, 4,000 feet; Santa Rosa Summit to Sheep Creek, 3,050 feet; Sheep Creek to Sophia Mountain Summit, 2,400 feet; Sophia Mountain Summit to Rossland, 1,243 feet. No grades over 8 per cent, are used and the average width is 16 feet. Three bridges were erected on this section—i.e., an overhead crossing of steel and concrete over the Canadian Pacific Railway tracks near Christina Lake, a 60-foot Howe truss over Sheep Creek, and a 115-foot trestle over Velvet Creek, which supplies the Velvet Mine. Surveys and Reconnaissance.—An instrumental survey was made of the first 24 miles out of Hope via the Nicoluni River, etc., and plan prepared according to our standard for first- class highways. A clinometer survey was also made from the 12-Mile point on the highway west of Princeton to Roche River, to determine the most feasible and economical route, using our maximum grades aud curvatures, for the Trans-Provincial Highway. A reconnaissance was also made from Princeton to Hope. The route taken was via the Allison Pass. No unsurmountable difficulties were encountered. Miscellaneous.—Speaking in general, I think it must be admitted that fair value has been received for the moneys expended on both maintenance and construction. I feel quite sure that a great deal of money could be saved if it is possible to educate the roadmen up to the intelligent use of the latest type of road machinery. I am again going to point out the advisability, where conditions permit, of having permanent gangs to look after the different sections and give them enough work to keep them employed practically all the year round. This, of course, applies only to the more settled districts. The practice of appointing a foreman for each little piece of road uses up a very large proportion of our appropriation and the country receives very little actual value. All of which is respectfully submitted. W. K. Gwyer, District Engineer. REPORT OF ENGINEER, DISTRICT No. 5. District Engineer's Office, Court-house, Nelson, B.C., July 10th, 1923. P. Philip, Esq., Public Works Engineer, Victoria, B.C. Sir,—I beg to submit the following general report dealing with the work carried out in Engineering District No. 5 during the fiscal year 1922-23:— Roads and Trails, Nelson Electoral District.—No new roads or streets were opened up, but three stretches of road totalling approximately 1 mile were gravelled, while streets previously opened up and sidewalks already built were kept in a good state of repair. Trail Electoral District.—The most important construction-work undertaken was the Nelson- Ymir Road. About 12 miles out of a total of 17.4 were constructed during the fiscal year, the excavated quantities for which averaged approximately 10,000 cubic yards per mile, was about 40 per cent, solid rock classification. This highway when completed will not only prove a -great boon to the industrial life of the valley through which it extends, but will also form a portion of a direct highway connection between Nelson and Spokane, in preparation for which the Washington authorities have already completed their section of the highway to the International Boundary. On the Canadian side of the line it was necessary to build a 9-mile section in addition to the 17.4 miles between Nelson and Ymir, and of this 9 miles a section of 6.5 miles was constructed by day-labour forces under the Trail General Foreman, P. J. Gallagher. Mr. Gallagher's long association with railroad-construction work, and the experience gained therefrom, enabled him to construct one of the best portions of highway that have yet been built in West Kootenay. C 18 Public Works Report (1922-23). Since the fiscal year 1919-20 our policy in connection with the heaviest-travelled roads has been to widen those portions of road on final location from year to year as far as funds permitted, and then follow this up the following year with gravel surfacing. Altogether in the year 1922-23 about 10 miles of main road were thus gravelled, and a continuation of this policy will gradually put the main trunk roads in good condition for motor traffic, a marked difference being already noticeable when comparison is made with the condition of the same roads four years ago. Ordinary maintenance-work was carried out on about 200 miles of road, and approximately 2 miles of roads for settlers were constructed or reconstructed, while trails were cleaned out1 where necessary and when applied for by parties interested in mining. Rossland Electoral District.—The usual general repair-work was undertaken on 40 miles of roads, and considerable rock surfacing laid down on the Trail-Rossland and Rossland- Patterson Roads. An effort was made to keep the Trail-Rossland Road open for traffic during the winter months, and in spite of a heavy snowfall this was accomplished. All main trails were opened up and lateral roads, used principally by settlers, were kept in good repair. Surfacing operations were also undertaken on 6 miles of the Rossland-Cascade section of the Trans-Provincial Highway. Kaslo Electoral District.—As in former years, a large percentage of our district vote was expended in the Creston Valley between Kuskanook and Erickson, widening and gravelling those portions of road on permanent location. The macadamizing of the Creston-Erickson Road was completed practically to Erickson Station, thus giving the farmers in the Erickson area a very serviceable main highway over which to haul their produce to the railroad-station and packing-sheds. In the Kaslo District generally we repaired 213 miles of roads and cleaned out 150 miles of trails, assistance having been obtained from the Mines Department on 60 miles of trail- work and 5% miles of road maintenance. In addition to this, the Department of Mines financed the building of approximately 10 miles of main trail up Cultus Creek towards the Bayonne Summit. Revelstoke Electoral District.—The principal construction-work undertaken was as follows:— Revelstoke West Road: Construction of this road was completed from Mile 22 to Taft, a distance of 2% miles, while the existing road west of Taft to Craigellachie, a distance of 4.5 miles, was practically rebuilt throughout on an entirely new location, with a maximum grade of 7 per cent, as against 18 per cent, on the old road. The new location gives a much better outlet for the settlers in the locality, particularly at the Craigellachie end, where the heaviest grades on the old road existed. Revelstoke-Arrowhead Road: About 3.5 miles of standard road were constructed between Revelstoke and Arrowhead, leaving approximately 7.5 miles still to construct to connect up the two communities. One mile of this work was along steep side-hill, necessitating the removal of about 20,000 cubic yards of material with a high percentage of solid rock. This road when completed will not only give a highway connection between Revelstoke and Arrowhead, but will also open up several hundred acres of good agricultural land now covered with heavy cedar timber. One hundred and eighteen miles of road in the Revelstoke District were maintained and 6 miles wrere gravelled. Out of the district appropriation we constructed 1.5 miles of new lateral roads and repaired and cleaned out about SO miles of trail, on 51 miles of which we had assistance from the Department of Mines. The policy of snow-plough ing the main and lateral roads during the winter months was continued, and, so far as we can learn, appreciated by the general travelling public, especially by the ranchers in outlying districts, who now find it much easier to haul to and from Revelstoke in the winter season. River-bank protection work was undertaken on the Columbia River, Isaac Creek, 7-Mile Creek, and Illecillewaet River, and on three of these propositions we had the co-operation of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company, the Dominion Government, and the settlers whose lands were protected.

C 19 Slocan Electoral District.—In the Slocan District 237 miles of roads and 103 miles of trails received attention during the year, and of the above, assistance was given by the Mines Department on 11 miles of roads and 13 miles of trail. River-bank protection in the shape of brush and rock mattress and cribbing was carried out on Carpenter Creek at New Denver, and Eagle Creek, Edgewood, while extensive repairs were made on the Sandon Flume. About 1.5 miles of new roads were built for settlers and 1 mile of new trail up Wilson Creek from Rosebery on a wagon-road grade. Bridges.—The following new truss spans were built:— Revelstoke District: One 60-foot king-truss span with pile approaches over Eagle River, Mile 20, Revelstoke West Road; one 60-foot king-truss span on concrete abutments over Eagle River at Mile 22, Revelstoke West Road; One 45-50-foot king-truss span on concrete abutments over Gorge Creek, Craigellachie, on Revelstoke West Road; one suspension foot-bridge, 180- foot span, over Eagle River at Bowie. Slocan District: One 60-foot king-truss span on concrete abutments, with framed trestle approaches, over Springer Creek at Slocan City; one 60-foot king-truss span with framed trestle approaches over Deep Creek on Edgewood-Vernon Road. Trail District: One 100-foot Howe-truss span on pile piers over Salmon River near Ymir. Kaslo District: Two 50-foot king-truss spans on pile piers over Goat River Flats near Creston. In addition to the above, the following is a record of the general bridge-work undertaken in Engineering District No. 5: Bridges replaced by culvert and fill, 950 lineal feet; truss spans examined, trussed, and overhauled, 31; stringer and trestle bridges repaired, 285; stringer and trestle bridges constructed, 11; stringer and trestle bridges reconstructed, 11. Ferries.—No new ferries were installed during the fiscal year 1922-23 and all existing ferries continued to give efficient service. A double-shift service was put into operation on the Nelson Ferry in May, 1922, to meet the growing demands of the travelling public. New Main Highways constructed in District No. 5 during 1922-23.—Trail Electoral District: Nelson-Ymir and U.S. Boundary Road, 18 miles. Rossland Electoral District: Completion of Rossland-Cascade Road, 15 miles. Kaslo Electoral District: Connecting Gray Creek with Crawford Bay, 3 miles; diversion on Creston-Kuskanook Road at Wilds Creek, 1.5 miles. Revelstoke Electoral District: Completion of Revelstoke West Road to Craigellachie, 7 miles; Revelstoke-Arrowhead Road, 3.5 miles. Slocan Electoral District: Edgewood-Vernon Road, Sand Creek to Deep Creek, 4 miles. Taken as a whole, the year 1922-23 was undoubtedly the best year from the standpoint of work accomplished during the past four years, and great credit is due the General Foremen and Resident Engineers on construction for the* results obtained. Personally, I wish to express my thanks to the Department for the consideration given to all matters submitted in connection with this District. Respectfully submitted. Wm. Ramsay, District Engineer. REPORT OF ENGINEER, DISTRICT No. 6. District Engineer's Office, Cranbrook, B.C., May. 29th, 1923. P. Philip, Esq., Public Works Engineer, Victoria, B.C. Sir,—I beg to submit my report for the year 1922-23. Labour conditions remained about the same as in the previous year and no change was made in the rate of wages. The field organization carried on well, foremen on construction showing praiseworthy interest in their work, as well as the section maintenance-men, whose task is yearly becoming more important and difficult as the auto traffic increases. Roads.—The Moyie Lake Diversion on the Trans-Provincial Highway was brought to completion, and, judging by their comments, the motoring public have nothing but praise for the road and its scenery. Continuing our programme of improvements on this highway between Moyie and Yahk, about 6.5 miles of the old road were constructed into modern standard type. On the branch road to Kingsgate a steep hill was eliminated by a new grade. At loco two dangerous curves were eliminated by a short diversion. East of Cranbrook the Trans-Provincial Highway was graded and gravelled for 1% miles near Wardner, and on the road to Kimberley the 2-mile diversion near Marysville was gravelled, and a new diversion, occasioned by the works of the Sullivan Mine blocking the old road, was made into the town of Kimberley. Between Eager Hill and Fort Steele the grade leading down to Westport was widened and a guard-rail put on. The diversion of Coal Creek Road was continued to let traffic past a particularly bad hill near French Camp, and half a mile more of Bull River South Road was built. The main highway leading northerly to connect with the Banff-Windermere Road and on to Golden has now been named the Columbia River Road. A portion of this south of Wasa, of about 1.3 miles in extent, was built and gravelled this year. Other portions north of Wasa on the west side of the Kootenay River are in course of construction, and a connecting road a little over a mile in length was built to Skookumchuck Station. On the road leading northerly from Skookumchuck to Findlay Creek quite extensive improvements were made in the way of eliminating excessive grades and a particularly bad wet portion. The roads mentioned in report of last year as being of especial benefit to settlers were continued in their construction and improvements as funds would permit. Streets and sidewalks were maintained in all the unincorporated towns of the district, a notable improvement being made in Golden, where certain buildings were removed which formerly occupied space on the street allowance and obscured the view to the approach of Kicking Horse Bridge. At Slaterville some work was done to drain the stagnant water from beside the main street. A tarvia sidewalk to the Cranbrook Cemetery was commenced and partly built and a road constructed along the proper right-of-way, the former road being more or less of a trail across lots and private property. Considerable improvement was made in West Fernie in the matter of drainage. Bridges.—Bridges were kept in repair, some of the more extensive jobs being protection to Horsethief Bridge; replacing of trestle by fill in approach to Kicking Horse Bridge; new deck to Fort Steele Bridge; rock protection to Fairy Creek Bridge; new deck and floor beams to Galbraith Bridge; extra chord leaves and new caps to Wardner Bridge; reflooring the following bridges: Mission, Marysville, Ryan, Swansea Large, and Ward's Ranch. Of bridges reconstructed, the following are some of the important ones: Coal Creek No. 63, Blackberry Upper Bridge, Bugaboo, Carbonate-Spruce Camp, Cherry Creek, Downs, Ferguson, Mcintosh, and two Torrent Slough Bridges. Bridges constructed include the following: Symond and Levitt, Shanty and Chapman Bridges. Contracts were let for the erection of new bridges at Hosmer, Waldo, and Skookumchuck, all of which are under way. Quite a lot of minor bridges throughout the district were replaced by culverts and fills. A few of the more important bridges were whitewashed, and it seems to be the consensus of opinion that more erf this work should be done and also extended to guard-rails. The whitewash, besides having a preservative effect, brings these objects into great prominence at night and adds to the safety of travel. River-bank Protection.—Work was carried on at the following places, mostly in continuation of schemes already laid out and repoTted on: At or near the mouth of St. Mary River; at North Fernie; at Fairy Creek; at West Fernie, Michel Creek; at Kicking Horse River; and at Toby Dam near Athalmer. Ferries.—In ferries, the only new work was the building and installing of a small ferry to be operated by local settlers at Flagstone, on the Kootenay River. Donald Ferry was replaced by a larger scow to accommodate the settlers. Deep Creek Bridge on Edgewood-Vernon Road. 14 Geo. 5 Report of Engineer, District No. 7. C 21 In public buildings, the new school at Yahk was completed and the sheds and fencing at the Public Works headquarters, Cranbrook, were finished to accommodate and house road equipment. New road machinery purchased comprised a light delivery Ford truck, two Sawyer- Massey patrol graders, and one Cletrac tractor. The Government garage at Cranbrook, installed the previous year, functioned very well in the economical maintenance and repair of all Government cars and other mechanical equipment. A number of plans came in throughout the year for inspection and approval as subdivisions. The majority of these were small parcels, the ones of greater extent being a subdivision at Yahk, and one at Green Bay on Moyie Lake and one on the Elk River, the latter being a townsite for a proposed pulp-mill. Of the more important applications to construct works within Crown lands, those for electric-light poles at Invermere, Kimberley, Elko, and West Fernie and for laying of water- mains in Kimberley are to be mentioned. In surveys, a great deal of work was accomplished in choosing the route and making final location of Columbia River Road, together with the preparation of plans and data for the purpose of calling for tenders and for carrying on construction in the next fiscal year. A preliminary survey of the proposed Golden-Leanchoil Road was made. The Assistant District Engineers accomplished a number of surveys for settlers' and mining roads, as well as bridge surveys, and the procuring of extra survey data required from time to time for departmental reports. It is a pleasure to report the continued efforts and loyalty of all working with me here, and I wish to thank you and your staff in Victoria for your ever kindly help. Respectfully submitted. J. C. Brady, District Engineer. REPORT Ol' ENGINEER, DISTRICT No. 7. District Engineer's Office, Court-house, Prince Rupert, B.C., August 14th, 1923. P. Philip, Esq., Public Works Engineer, Victoria, B.C. Sir,—I have the honour to submit my report for the fiscal year 1922-23, covering the Atlin, Prince Rupert, and Omineca Electoral Districts. Organization.—The present organization, while working smoothly, is not wholly satisfactory, chiefly on account of the size of the district and the difficulty of giving close engineering supervision to all work. Towards the end of the fiscal year an Assistant District Engineer was appointed to Atlin District. The building of new roads, altering old roads to new alignment and grade, and the locating and constructing of bridges involves considerable engineering-work. Labour.—Labour was fairly satisfactory, but difficulty was experienced in getting satisfactory work out of settlers close to the construction-work. In some instances it was necessary to obtain outside help in order to get satisfactory and economical work done. Weather.—The weather in the spring was not good, but the summer in the Interior was hot and dry. Little time was lost by bad weather, but difficulties were experienced in the Interior on account of heat and drought. Materials.—iMaterials and supplies were fairly easy to obtain and the prices were on the whole fair. Roads and Trails.—Roads and trails were fairly easy to maintain, particularly in the Interior, as the long spell of dry weather made maintenance-work light. Considerable work was done in the reconstruction of old roads, drainage of roads, and new construction. A large amount of gravelling, where necessary, of existing roads was also done. C 22 Public Works Report (1922-23). The roads in the Interior, particularly in the Smithers and Burns Lake Districts, have now to stand much heavier motor traffic. The cost of most of the new construction-work was borne by the Highway Loan, 1920. A preliminary survey was made to connect the Hazelton-Fort George Project between Endako and Burns Lake, and a satisfactory line was obtained. A considerable amount of work had to be done in the Stewart Division of the Atlin District on account of the mining activity. Mining roads and trails were well maintained. The district vote of the three districts was used chiefly on maintenance and repairs, and the following new construction was done under the " Highway Loan Act, 1920 " :— Atlin District— Salmon River Road $ 621 00 Prince Rupert District— Copper City-Kitimat Road 6,421 40 Cedarvale-Woodcock 4,145 89 Canoe Crossing Road 5,238 01 Hagensborg Road 5S0 92 Kallum Lake Main Road 13,014 69 Meanskinisht-Kitwanga Road 2,604 30 Port Clements-Tleli Road 4,323 76 Usk-Vanarsdol Road 1,927 40 Woodcock-Kitwanga Road 3,340 02 Omineca District— Colley Mountain Road 19,480 12 Eakins Settlement Road 1,953 73 Keefe's Landing to Ootsa Lake 5,875 92 Fort George-Hazelton— Section No. 1, Houston to North Bulkley 4,917 37 Section No. F, Endako (west) 4,055 73 Section No. F, .Endako (west) (survey) 8,677 89 Section No. E, Telkwa to Government Ranch 15,577 79 Lippeiicott Bay Road 312 00 McDonald's Landing Road 6,871 20 North Francois Lake Road 5,730 22 Ootsa Lake Shore (east) 1,950 41 Uncha Lake Road 2,515 01 Uncha Lake Road (winter work) 1,129 44 West Francois Lake Road 535 58 West end of Francois Lake to Ootsa Lake 8,738 80 York Settlement Road „.. 1,173 61 River-protection.—Work had to be done on the Bear River near Stewart, also on the Necleetsconnay River and Bella Coola River. The Necleetsconnay River broke through its banks, washed out the bridge, and did serious damage to wagon-road and private property. Bridges.—A large amount of work was done on bridges, chiefly on repairs. Seventy-eight bridges were repaired or reconstructed and eight new bridges built. Ferries.—All ferries were well maintained and the new steel ferry, put in operation at Francois Lake, proved satisfactory. Towards the end of the year a new 10-ton ferry was authorized for the Skeena River at Hazelton. Wharves.—Minor repairs were done on the Bella Coola Wharf and the Prince Rupert Wharf. General.—The work during the year was satisfactory; the outside and the inside staff co-operated in getting the best possible results for the money expended. Relations with all other departments of the Government, as well as relations with Department of the Dominion Government, with which this office comes in touch, were good. Respectfully submitted. R. M. Taylor, District Engineer. • - p so pq « °S "3 «!PS?^w>^^4fw?HIIll? ■ -"V, : Coquitlam River Bridge, looking east. 14 Geo. 5 Report of Engineer, District No. 8. C 23 REPORT OF ENGINEER, DISTRICT No. 8. District Engineer's Office, South Fort George, B.C., July 10th, 1923. P. Philip, Esq., Public Works Engineer, Victoria, B.C. Sir,—I have the honour to submit my annual report for the fiscal year ending March 31st, 1923. The excellent weather conditions, combined with the energetic way in which the whole of the work was carried out, made it a banner year for both construction of new roads and general maintenance throughout the district. Main Roads.—A large mileage of unimproved main roads was widened out. and graded, with the result that now practically all roads leading to the various centres of population can be satisfactorily maintained with the use of a road-drag at very little cost. The surfacing of Peden's Hill, on the Fort George-Hazelton Road near Prince George, a much-needed improvement, was completed, and at various points along the road permanent culverts and fills were installed where the original construction had provided the undesirable pole bridge. The Cariboo Main Road (Fort George-Woodpecker) was partly regraded and several short uncompleted sections were linked up near Stone Creek, the work being done by contract. Other improvements were carried out in the way of widening side-hill cuts and filling low swampy stretches. The long hill at the commencement of this road was surfaced with gravel after the necessary widening and levelling had been done. The whole road south of Prince George as far as Woodpecker is now in good shape for auto travel and is being used to a great extent by local residents. The north end of the road leading to Summit Lake was subject to maintenance-work only. The road from Vanderhoof to Stuart Lake was much improved by grading operations carried out on the first 12 miles, other minor but beneficial work having been done along its entire length. In the Peace River District the Grande Prairie Road received prime attention, and with another season's work the whole of the road in British Columbia will be completely graded, to the great benefit of Pouce Coupe and adjacent country. Land Settlement Roads.—The continued activity in the several areas in the district called for the opening-up of more new roads, as well as improvements to those already in use. Fully graded roads are being constructed where possible, so as to reduce future maintenance to the minimum. Side-roads.—In view of the large mileage of unimproved side-roads, an effort has been made to widen out and grade as much as possible of the more Important of these roads, which will gradually give the settler an outlet consistent with the development of his property. During the winter gravel was hauled on the roads immediately adjacent to Vanderhoof, which satisfied a most urgent requirement of this thriving little town. The experiment proved a success, as the large loads hauled fully compensated for the little extra time taken to spread and crown up the roads in the spring. Government teams were kept busy and unemployment was relieved. Bridge-icork.—Little or no damage was occasioned by spring freshets, and the majority of work carried out consisted of the replacement of or repairs to small structures caused by mechanical wear or decay. The replacement of short bridges by culvert and fill was again given full consideration, a large number of changes having been made during the year. A new bridge was erected over the Willow River near the town of Willow River, being made up of one 130-foot Howe truss and one 60-foot king truss, with pile piers and approaches. The work was carried out by day-labour, and with fine timber supplied from the Coast, coupled with excellent workmanship, one of the best structures has been the result. The bridge is one of the important connecting-links in the construction of the main road east of Prince George, along the Grand Trunk Railway. The usual maintenance on existing large bridges was thoroughly carried out. Ferries.—A new ferry was constructed for operation on the Peace River near Taylor Flats, having been designed to operate with a sunken cable by gas-engine on scow. Difficulties C 24 Public Works Report (1922-23). peculiar to the Peace River prevented the successful operation at the outset, but with minor changes satisfactory service is expected. New pontoons were installed at the Stuart River Ferry, Fort St. James. General.—With the exception of contract-work, under the heading of " Federal Aid," all work was carried out by a plentiful supply of local labour, and returned men were well taken care of where possible. With a keenly interested staff, together with the co-operation of other departments, the work has progressed smoothly and steadily, which, coupled with continued support from headquarters, has done much to provide efficient service. All of which is respectfully submitted. Arthur Dixon, District Engineer. REPORT OF ENGINEER, DISTRICT No. 9. District Engineer's Office, 150-Mile House, B.C., June 16th, 1923. P. Philip, Esq., Public Works Engineer, Victoria, B.C. Sir,—I have the honour to submit my report for the fiscal year 1922-23. Labour.—Conditions were good during the summer, but many men were unemployed during the fall and winter; certain works were undertaken to relieve these conditions. Weather.—The weather was exceptionally dry throughout the year and the snowfall on the lower elevations remarkably light. Such conditions permitted the Cariboo Main Road to be open for auto traffic practically'all the winter. Roads and Trails.—Lillooet: About 2% miles of road and 7 miles of trail were constructed and 750 miles of roads and 74 miles of trails were repaired and maintained. Cariboo : About 33 miles of road and 5V4 miles of trail were constructed and 676 miles of roads and 87 miles of trails were repaired and maintained. Surveys.—Surveys were made for proposed roads at Bridge River Canyon, Canim Lake, Moon's, Roe Lake, Harpers Camp-Quesnel Lake, Cedar Creek, Keithley, Hydraulic, Marguerite, and Lower Beaver Valley, a total of 59 miles. Construction and reconstruction were undertaken on the following roads and trails: Moon's Road, Jones-Dickey Road, Canim Lake Trail, Harpers Camp Road, Quesnel-Little Lake Road, Soda Creek-Chimney Creek Road, Springhouse-Williams Lake Road, Sisters Creek- Dragon Lake Road, Chilcotin Road, Cariboo Road at Red Bluff Hill and north of Quesnel, Keithley Road, Keithley-Barkerville Trail, and Quesnel Dam-Cedar Creek Trail. Particular attention was given to drainage and gravelling in maintenance-work and 2,000 feet of metal culvert were laid. This type of culvert is giving satisfaction, but the majority of steel culverts freeze solid during the winter months and remain frozen when most wanted during the time the snow-water is troublesome. At other times their freedom from breakage and better drainage compensate for the defect of freezing. Ferries.—The ferries (10) were maintained and operated satisfactorily. The records of the ferry at Quesnel show that 500 autos, 2,300 horse-drawn vehicles, 22,500 passengers, and 500 tons of freight were carried during the 8y2 months operated; during the remaining 3% months the crossing was on the ice and no records were kept. For comparison following are the records of the next ferry in importance: 33 autos, 611 horse-drawn vehicles, 2,315 passengers, and 190 tons of freight carried during iy.2 months' operating. Bridges.—Six new bridges were constructed, thirteen were reconstructed, and ninety were substantially repaired. The most important work on bridges was carried out at Chilcotin Suspension, 87-foot Howe truss and trestle approach at east end; Vedan, 76-foot queen truss; Ward's Ferry, two 80-foot Howe trusses (incomplete at end of year) ; Antler Creek, 40-foot king truss; Mackay's, 60-foot king truss and trestle; completion of" Spanish Bridge and the commencement of Quesnel Dam Bridge, consisting of six 60-foot king trusses and trestle approaches, all built upon the foundations of the old dam. All bridge-work was satisfactorily undertaken by day-labour. General.—Some of the highway-construction work was again done by contract and in a very satisfactory manner, although in all cases the lowest tender had been accepted.

C 25 The closing of roads under the " Highway Act, 1921," was put into operation during the spring thaw, and on the whole was effective, saving the roads from considerable damage. Sign-posts have been erected at all branch roads throughout the district. Respectfully submitted. C. C. MacKay, District Engineer. REPORT OF SUPERVISING ARCHITECT. Department of Public Works, Victoria, B.C., August 8th, 1923. P. Philip, Esq., Public Works Engineer, Victoria, B.C. Sir,—I have the honour to submit herewith the annual report of the Architectural Branch for the fiscal year ending March 31st, 1923. The year has been one of continued activity in the office. The volume of work increased, so that it was necessary to retain the services of two architectural assistants beyond our ordinary staff for the major part of the year to cope with the work and also the necessary supervision of the work in progress. Parliament Buildings.—Beyond, the general upkeep and repairs to this building we have continued with systematic renovating and decorating, which will make a decided improvement to its appearance when completed. The rewiring of the Main Building and the Museum has been completed and only the Printing Department remains to be done. Owing to the accumulation of records in the different departments we have utilized the old boiler-room by making fire-proof vaults for them. A reduction of insurance rates has been granted by the provision of automatic fire-doors at various positions between the old and new buildings. The grounds have been efficiently maintained under the direction of our Head Gardener. I wish to bring to your attention the continued co-operation aiid support of the various tradesmen of the Department, who not only maintain these buildings in repair, but those of the Normal School, Court-house, Government House, Saanich Mental Hospital, and Labour Bureaus. Government House.—Sundry additions and the general maintenance and upkeep of these buildings and grounds have been carried out during the year. Plans have been prepared for a house for the Secretary to His Honour the Lieutenant-Governor, but work has not yet been started. Normal School.—Permanent roadways constructed and improvements to the grounds carried out during the year have decidedly improved the appearance of the buildings. To complete the frontage there yet remains to be done the western section of the grounds, and I would suggest that money be appropriated at an early date for the completion "of this work. The upkeep and repair of these buildings have also been undertaken. Labour Bureaus.—Alterations to the Labour Bureaus at Vancouver and Victoria have been carried out during the year to permit of the more efficient discharge of the work In these offices. Court-houses generally.—The various Court-houses throughout the Province have been kept in repair and gundry alterations and improvements made. The Court-house at Vancouver has been renovated and redecorated in the hallways, rotunda, and various offices, which greatly improved the appearance of the building. Nelson Court-house has received sundry changes and renovations, required by the reorganization in the Assessor's and Collector's offices. Mental Hospitals.—The upkeep and maintenance of these buildings have been supervised; the work having been carried out by the institution's own tradesmen and patients. At New Westminster improvements were made on sundry wards and a new X-ray section provided. At Essondale, besides the maintenance and upkeep, a residence was erected for the Steward, and plans prepared and work commenced on another house for an official, whilst additional attendants' cottages were erected. In connection with the farm, a piggery, a root-house, an addition to the calf-barn, and sundry other structures were erected. Boys' Industrial School.—The grading to the grounds, terracing, and stone retaining-walls were completed under the direction of the District Engineer at New Westminster. A new C 26 Public Works Report (1922-23). horse-barn, cow-barn, silos, piggery, and implement-shed were erected under contract. The Superintendent erected numerous smaller structures with the help of the boys, under our direction. This institution is now working out as we visualized it, and in the course of a few more years, when lawns are made and trees and shrubbery have been planted, it wrill have quite a satisfactory appearance. Tranquille Sanatorium.—Besides the general upkeep and maintenance of the buildings, a large workshop, two cottages, and two officials' residences have been erected and a start made on a new school-house and boarding-house for the farm. Our Head Gardener visited this institution along with myself, and recommended certain improvements to the grounds which are being carried out. Oakalla Prison Farm, etc.—Various repairs and improvements have been made to this building and sundry lock-ups throughout the Province. Girls' Industrial School.—A new piggery was erected at this institution and the exterior of the building repainted, besides the general repairs and maintenance to same. Deaf, Dumb, and Blind School.—The cottages attached to this institution and the exterior of the institution itself have been repainted, also small minor changes and repairs made. The roads around the institution have been improved under the direction of Mr. Wylie. A Fumigation Station was erected at Vancouver for the Agricultural Department. New Buildings. Prince Rupert Court-house.—This building has been completed and occupied during the year. It is a decided improvement and acquisition to the city and enables the Government business to be carried out much more economically than previously. Acute Building, Essondale.—This building was commenced during the year and the concrete framework completed. The inclement weather during the winter handicapped the contractors to a certain degree; otherwise it was hoped to have the building roofed in. Preliminary estimates and reports have been considered for the new power plant at Essondale, which is to be erected during the forthcoming year. Hospitals.—Plans were prepared for a hospital at Quesnel and Williams Lake. We have also assisted various Hospital Boards by giving them information and assistance in their problems, and inspected plans of hospitals submitted by outside architects, to which structures the Government has given grants. Schools.—The following schools were erected by the Branch during the year: One-room schools, 7; twTo-room schools, 6; eight-room schools, 1; one-room additions, 1; two-room additions, 2; three-room additions, 1; four-room additions, 2. In addition to sundry minor repairs and alterations to existing schools, we have provided a considerable number of plans and specifications of our standard schools to municipalities and unorganized districts. Plans submitted by outside architects for schools, to which the Government has given grants, have been examined, criticized where necessary, and approved before the grant was given by the Education Department. Williams L,ake Court-house.—A small Court-house wTas erected at Williams Lake during the year. Vancouver Normal School.—Sundry alterations and repairs and redecorations to this building were carried out. Old Men's Home, Kamloops.—Several changes to give more accommodation and other improvements and general repairs were made to this institution. Generally.—There has been an upward trend in the prices of materials and labour during the year, with no appearance of any marked decline in them, the cause, I believe, being attributable to the large boom in the Pacific States. In conclusion, I wish to express my thanks to you, sir, and the Deputy Minister, for your co-operation and interest in our work, and also to thank the members of the staff for the loyal support and assistance they have given me during this period. Attached hereto are photographs of several of the more important works executed during the year. This report is respectfully submitted.

REPORT OF CHIEF INSPECTOR OF MACHINERY. New AA'estminster, B.C., April 1st, 1923. The Honourable the Minister of Public Works, Victoria, B.C. Sir,—In accordance with the provisions of the " Boilers Inspection Act," I have the honour to submit to you the Twenty-first Annual Report of the operation of the steam-boilers and machinery inspection service for the year ending March 31st, 1923. The personnel of the service at present consists of the Chief Inspector, twelve District Inspectors, one clerk, one stenographer and filing and record clerk, and three stenographers, located as follows: Chief Inspector, three Inspectors, one clerk, one stenographer and filing and record clerk, and one stenographer and typist at the head office in New Westminster, District A; three Inspectors and one stenographer and typist in Arictoria for District B; one Inspector in Nelson for District C; three Inspectors and one stenographer and typist in Van- couver for District D; and one Inspector in Vernon for District B. No changes of staff have taken place during the year, but I regret to report that Air. Bath, one of the Inspectors in the Vancouver - District, has been absent from duty on leave of absence on account of illness since June 6th, and is not yet able to report for duty. The following is a summary of the routine work performed in the office of the Chief Inspector during the year, exclusive of inspections, engineers' examinations, and the work of engineer surveying, details of which will be found in the reports of the Inspectors for the different districts and that of the Chief Engineer Examiner:— Letters inward 5,028 Letters outward 7,089 Telegrams inward 40 Telegrams outward 37 Inspectors' monthly reports examined 144 New designs examined, calculated, and reported on 117 AVorkmen's Compensation Board designs examined, calculated, and reported on 15 Designs of spark-arresters and fire-pumps examined, calculated, and reported on 5 Amendments to designs examined, calculated, and reported on 4 Fees collected for designs !p859 Fees collected for registration of boilers $1,044 Fees collected for copies of Act §2 Fines for infraction of the Act $10 Number of miles travelled by Chief Inspector 2,102 I am pleased to report that there have been no boiler-explosions during the year and no serious accidents to boilers or machinery. There have been three accidents to persons, one of vvhich was fatal. In the case of the fatal accident, Sergeant Harvey, of the Royal North West Mounted Police, reported to our Air. Davidson, of Arernon, that about a month or six weeks prior to the report an accident had occurred in the Penticton Steam Laundry, resulting in a man being killed. Mr. Davidson went over to Penticton and found that a rancher named Air. Bell had asked the engineer's permission to use a steam-hose to scald out a cask. The engineer referred him to the owner, who gave permission after the laundry closed. Mr. Bell had filled the cask half-full of water, and while it was lying on its side he put the steam-nozzle through a bung- hole and turned on the steam. The end of the cask was blown out and Air. Bell was scalded to such an extent that he died in the hospital shortly afterwards. Under " Summary of Defects" will be noted that five safety-valves were found to be inoperative, seven overloaded, and nine defective an construction. One boiler was being operated without a steam-pressure gauge.; twenty-one pressure-gauges were found inoperative and 14 Geo. 5 Chief Inspector of Machinery. C 141 295 defective; thirty-five boilers were found with cracks in the plates; twenty-one with defective feed-water arrangement and fifteen with defective water-gauges; and four boilers were found to be operating without fusible plugs. The remaining defects are about on an average with former years. The number of new boilers built for British Columbia was seventy, as compared with fifty-nine for the previous year. Fifty-four of these were built in British Columbia, three built under inspection in Eastern Canada, three built in Eastern Canada not under inspection, and six built in the United States. Of these new boilers, sixty-nine were put into operation during the year, the other one being held in stock. The number of second-hand boilers imported was nineteen—from Eastern Canada fifteen and from the United States four. Boilers inspected for the first time during the year, 103; eighteen were taken out of service, being condemned as unfit for further use. The total number of boilers now on our books is 6,2S0. Of these, 3,099 were inspected internally and externally, six internally only, and 113 externally only. Inspection of boilers under steam, 881. The number of plates tested during the year was 257, as compared with 212 for the previous year. Four plates were rejected as unfit for use in boiler-construction, as compared with three of the previous year. In addition to the usual work of this office, we have during the year undertaken extra work as follows: Supervised the repairs to the Ladner-Woodward, Alission-Matsqui, and Agassiz-Rosedale Ferries; supervised repairs to electric turning-gear of the Eburne Bridge; and the supervision of repairs in connection with the operation of steam plants in Government Buildings. We have also continued the inspections for the Workmen's Compensation Board. Appended you will find a summary of the total work done by the District Inspectors, as well as their separate reports, together with a summary of the work done for the AVorkmen's Compensation Board. In conclusion, I desire to thank you for your active interest in support of this office, and also to thank the members of the staff for the efficient manner in which they carried out their work during the year. Trusting this report will meet with your approval, I have, etc. John Peck, Chief Inspector. Summary of Total Work done by District Inspectors for Year ending March 31st, 1923.

John Peck, Esq., Chief Inspector of Machinery, Nen: Westminster, B.C. Sir,—I have the honour to submit herewith my report for the year ending March 31st, 1923. During the year I have been occupied with the routine work of the head office; engineers' examinations; examining and calculating designs for boilers and equipment; supervising repairs to ferries and bridge-swinging gears; examining and testing spark-arresters for the Forestry Department; calculating pressure-vessels for the Workmen's Compensation Board; and work in connection with the steam plants in public buildings. The work being done for other departments is increasing yearly. At least 30 per cent, of my time is now devoted to work for other departments. The designs calculated were more numerous than last year. Fifteen designs for pressure- vessels were calculated under the AArorkmen's Compensation Board Regulations. Three designs were examined and tests made of spark-arresters for the Forestry Department. A trip was also made to Cowichan Lake to examine spark-arresters. Considerable work was done in connection with repairs to the ferries at Ladner, Mission, and Rosedale, and also witli regard to the electric swinging-gear at Eburne Bridge. Examinations for engineers' certificates were held during the first week in each month and applicants for special certificates were examined at various times. The fees noted as collected in the tabulated statement were first inspection fees for new boilers. Trusting this report meets with your approval, I have, etc., John D. Kay, Senior Inspector, District A. 14 Geo. 5 Chief Inspector of Machinery. C 145 Remarks. Held general examinations the first week in each month.

I am pleased to say that all the plants that were operated in this district were inspected during the year. Five plants were burnt down, with only slight damages done to the boilers, but one other plant was practically ruined. In one plant the working-pressure had to be reduced on account of the engine being too light. Trusting this report will meet with your approval, I have, etc., A. S. Bennett, Inspector, District A (South). Remarks. I assisted at all the monthly examinations of candidates for engineers' certificates.

John Peck, Esq., Chief Inspector of Machinery, New Westminster, B.C. SlB>—I have the honour to submit to you my report for the year ending March 31st, 1923. One boiler was taken out of service, and while a reduction in pressure was made in eleven, the plants were found to be in a satisfactory condition generally. One accident occurred to a boiler and serious results were narrowly averted. The fusible plug gave out on boiler No. 20765-B.C, due, no doubt, to the water getting low in the boiler. The engineer opened up the injector to put more water into the boiler and then left the boiler- room to call the foreman. At one time three men were around the boiler before the fire was drawn, and all this time there was no signs of water showing in the glass. On inspection it was found that the furnace- crown was down quite a bit and sixteen stays had to be renewed. Had the water fallen a little lower in the boiler a disastrous explosion would have occurred. Inspections were made for the Workmen's Compensation Board, and it appears to me the operators are now educated up to the advantages of accident-prevention as far as possible.

John Peck, Esq., Chief Inspector of Machinery, New Westminster, B.C. Sir,—I have the honour to lay before you my report for work done in this district during the past twelve months. Examinations for the various grades of engineers' certificates have been held monthly in Victoria, tri-monthly at Nanaimo, and as opportunity occurred at Ocean Falls, Namu, Prince Rupert, Mill Bay, Terrace, Prince George; Fort Fraser, Wistaria, Carnaby, Hutton, Penny, Alberni, Ahousat, and Anyox. The Inspectors of this district examined 174 candidates for various grades of engineers' certificates, of whom 110 passed and sixty-four failed. Sundry candidates made application for examination at the outlying points directly to the Examiners instead of through the Chief Inspector, and circumstances caused us to accept same in some cases. Thirty-five dollars in fees were received from that source. The Inspectors succeeded in visiting all parts of this far-flung district, inspecting and testing the boilers and engines, and also making surveys of machinery for the safety of employees on behalf of the AVorkmen's Compensation Board. In so doing over 17,000 miles were travelled and a total of 1,055 steam plants were inspected and tested hydrostatically. Details of defects are given separately by the Inspectors concerned. I personally made 131 inspections, totalling 8,181 horse-power, finding ninety defects, thirteen of which were dangerous; my mileage being 2,380 miles. Total fees collected by this office, $11,059.54. I also made twenty-eight surveys of industrial concerns on behalf of the AA'orkmen' Compensation Board for the protection of the employees, and had 145 dangerous places protected or the dangerous parts removed. Fortunately progress is continually being made towards safeguarding workmen, mills, or other industrial concerns, and I think it is reducing the number of accidents and consequent claims for compensation. I am pleased to note a revival of the general industries, notably the logging, sawmills, and shingle-mills, which are quite brisk. Coal-mining plants also seem to be more continuously at work than was the case in the earlier part of our financial year. No very serious accidents have occurred or others of sufficient import of which to make special mention. Quite a number of steam-plant owners are still delinquent in their duty to register their boilers as required by our amended Act, but I am gradually succeeding in getting in touch with them and so having their boilers duly registered. The new regulations as a whole have worked satisfactorily, notwithstanding the fact that the amendment regarding registration of boilers required considerable explanation to those who have long been in possession of steam plants and who imagined that as their boilers already had official numbers these were consequently registered. AA'ith this difficulty explained, registration of boilers will, I believe, in future aid in checking the frequently unreported sale or transfer of steam plants to new owners, and thus enable us to keep better track on boiler movements. This particularly applies to logging-donkeys and small sawmills. In conclusion, I would thank my colleagues for the able assistance and smooth and harmonious working of this district, also for the guidance from yourself, in the shape of rulings and circular letters. Trusting this report will meet with your approbation, I have, etc., S. Baxter, Senior Inspector, District B.

Sir,—I have the honour to submit my report for the year ending March 31st, 1923. During the year I have inspected steam plants on Vancouver Island, Prince Rupert, Anyox, Stewart, and various points along the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, and have also done a considerable amount of inspecting for the Workmen's Compensation Board. I found most of the plants in good condition and well guarded, but noticed frequently that the workmen had a tendency to remove the guards for repairs, etc., and omit to replace them. I append herewith a summary of work completed, which I trust will meet with your approval. I have, etc., L. Duckitt, Inspector, District B. Remarks.

C 153 Inspector's Report, District B. Victoria, B.C., April 1st, 1923. John Peck, Esq., Chief Inspector of Machinery, New Westminster, B.C. Sir,—I have the honour to submit to you my report for the year ending March 31st, 1923, and I trust it will meet with your approval. The year's work has not differed in any important way from previous years. My work has taken me from Rivers Inlet north to Prince Rupert, to the Queen Charlotte Islands, and to most of the plants on Vancouver Island. In the main most of the plants are being well looked after. Each year sees a step forward in the installation and operation of the more modern steam plants. In some instances the introduction of a combustion-air pre-heating apparatus has been gone into. Good results would no doubt be derived from such an introduction. The past has been a busy year and there is every indication of increased industrial activities in the future. Alost of the plants in our district are now in operation. 1 have, etc., John Clark, Inspector, District B. Remarks. During the past year I conducted engineers' examinations in Swanson Bay, Ocean Falls, Nanaimo, Cumberland, Port Alberni, and assisted with such in Victoria.

Quite a number of plants in this district were closed down during the whole of the year and no new boilers were installed at the sawmills or mines. Alost of the old boilers that had been lying idle for a number of years were bought up during the years 1917 and 1918, and the remainder of these boilers are practically useless for power purposes. Apart from the usual boiler defects caused by scale, etc., nothing of importance occurred during the year. Appended you will find tabulated statement for the year. • I have, etc., A.

Sutherland, Inspector of Steam-boilers, District C. Senior Inspector's Report, District D. Vancouver, B.C., April 1st, 1923. John Peck, Esq., Chief Inspector of Machinery, New Westminster, B.C. Sir,—I am enclosing with this my annual report for the period from April 1st, 1922, to March 31st, 1923. For ten months of this time we have been one Inspector short in this office, Mr. Bath being on leave of absonce on account of illness. This has made the work of the balance of Inspectors much harder than usual, trying to keep the inspections up without inconvenience to the public. There has not been anything out of the ordinary happen in this district during the year. The steam plants, with very few exceptions, have been in operation and the coming year promises to see a number of new plants installed. The change that was made in the regulations requiring the first inspection fee on all new boilers to be paid into head office makes a lot of the work non-productive of revenue credited to this district, as over 90 per cent, of the boilers manufactured in British Columbia are turned out by the shops in A7ancouver, which have to be visited periodically and inspected and tested, taking up much more time than at subsequent inspections, and for which no return is shown on our cash turned in from this office. On the other hand, the amounts that we earn in this manner are credited in cash returns to head office, which has nothing whatever to do with the inspections made here so far as time is concerned, and the justice of which we cannot discern from our standpoint. However, as this is in the " Inspection Act" we are carrying it out, and I am simply mentioning the fact to show that our cash returns would have been larger if this change had not been made. I have, etc., George O. AIadigan, Senior Inspector, District D. Remarks. . During the year there have been two prosecutions in this district. A Japanese was fined $100 and costs for operating a boiler without an engineer's certificate, and engineer at Champion & White's hoist wilfully damaged the boiler he was in charge of, and was let off with suspended sentence, provided his certificate was cancelled upon investigation. Attended inquest on two occasions at morgue for Compensation Board and made twenty- eight inspections and reports for the Board. Inspected thirty acetylene-gas containers for Compensation Board, also inspected and tested hot-water tank for the Board under construction. Inspected and made a report on safety of smoke-stack at A7ancouver General Hospital. Balance of time was in office 'on records, correspondence, arranging work for Inspectors, and collecting fees.

Sir,—I have the honour to sumbit my report for 1922 and 1923. AVith the exception of an accident to a 72-inch by 18-foot boiler, nothing worth special mention has come to my notice. This boiler was allowed to stand full of water during the severe weather of December, 1922. As a result the water froze and fractured the forward shell course along its entire length through the line stop-valve and safety-valve, which openings were reinforced by heavy cast-iron nozzles. The repairs necessarily required a complete new shell, with only tubes (shortened four inches), heads, and braces salvaged. The interesting question arises here as to why fracture occurred along the line of reinforced openings rather than at the longitudinal seam. Also whether the stress which caused failure was, and only, hydrostatic. * Your assistance and helpful co-operation throughout the year has been appreciated. I have, etc., F.

John Peck, Esq., Chief Inspector of Machinery, New Westminster, B.C. Sir,—I have the honour to submit my report for the year ending AIarch 31st, 1923. During the year there was one fatal accident in a steam plant in Penticton and four accidents to a steam-engine at Merritt. I am pleased to say that the fatal accident in Penticton was in no way due to structural weakness of the boiler or anything attached thereto. You are already acquainted with the circumstances, in which a rancher named Bell, desiring to scald out a barrel, after being refused the use of the steam-hose by the engineer 14 Geo. 5 Chief Inspector of Machinery. e 165 for this purpose, after hours obtained the permission of the owner, and whilst so engaged the barrel burst, scalding him so severely that he died shortly after from the effects. The accidents to the engine at AIerritt you are also acquainted with from my reports to you. These were all probably due to shock received in two previous accidents. The owners are now replacing the most highly stressed parts by new parts of stronger material. During August and September I inspected boilers in the Peace River, going as far as 46 miles west of Hudson Hope. There were sixteen boilers in use in the country and only two of them were found defective; of these two, one was of old design and overloaded. The people of the country appeared to welcome inspection. I also examined a number of candidates for engineers' certificates whilst in that part of the country. These were examined provisionally subject to their applications being accepted by your office. Some of these have not yet been accepted by you. On account of the time taken up by this Peace River trip I was unable to inspect in the Cariboo and Chilcotin Districts, but this work will be attended to in the coming year. Besides the work of boiler inspection, .examinations were held in Kamloops, Revelstoke, Golden, AIerritt, and Vernon, and the usual Workmen's Compensation Board inspections were made in the intervals between boiler inspections. Trusting that this report will meet with your approval, I have, etc., Jas. DAVlnSON, Inspector, District E. Results of Examinations. Class. Third .

REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF ELECTRICAL ENERGY. August 31st, 1923. ./. E. Griffith, Esq., Deputy Minister of Public Works, Parliament Buildings, Victoria, B.C. Sir,—I have the honour to submit the following report on the work of this office for the year ending AIarch 31st, 1923:— Considerable attention has been devoted during the year to the revision of the regulations of the office governing interior wiring installations. With the general improvement which has taken place in the last few years in the standard of electrical work in the outlying parts of the Province, it is now considered that regulations can be introduced which will be more general in their application than hitherto, and that the time has arrived when, in the interests of accident-xirevention and safeguarding against fire, certain minimum standards should be worked to in rural districts and small towns, as well as in the larger cities. One factor bearing on this has been the greatly increased use of electricity for domestic purposes following on the large number of electrical appliances now on the market, and in order to make the use of these reasonably safe certain new regulations have been found necessary. AVhile fires of electrical origin have not been numerous, it has been considered that with the growing attention to the matter of reduction of fire hazards generally, the possibility of fires from electrical causes should be reduced to a minimum. Interior AViring Regulations. The following are the principal features of the changes which have been made to these regulations :— Conduit Wiring.—An endeavour has been made to specify in more detail than hitherto the types of buildings in which this class of wiring should be adopted, and our rules now give seventeen different classes of work or types of buildings in which the wiring must be enclosed in steel conduit. Some difficulty has been experienced with regard to small frame store buildings in the smaller towns, but a practice has now been adopted with regard to these which, while not unduly increasing the expense of such installations, will give a considerably increased measure of safety both from accident and fire. The advantage of the regulation which has been adopted in this respect will become increasingly apparent as the business area in the small towns is built up. In the recent construction of schools, hospitals, hotels, etc., it has been found advisable to call for a higher standard of electrical wiring, and with the exception of small schools in rural districts the conduit system of wiring is now provided. Fittings.—The use of non-standard materials has been greatly reduced, due to a more general recognition of the standard approved makes of switches, insulators, condulets, fuses, etc. Cabinet and Cut-out Boxes, etc.—As used at present, these are principally turned out by the larger manufacturers in Eastern Canada and by Arancouver manufacturers, and are generally in accordance with approved specifications. A number of boxes, however, are still made by smaller firms throughout the Province who are not accustomed to manufactures for electrical purposes, and it is recognized that further attention to this matter is required. It is proposed to provide as many of these manufacturers as can be traced with an approved detailed construction specification. Loading of Circuits.—There is a tendency for many users of electrical appiiances to.connect these to lighting circuits which are unsuited for supplying them, resulting in the carrying capacity of fuses, switches, and wires being exceeded. An endeavour has been made in the rules to counteract this, and also to encourage the practice of providing in all new wiring for an adequate number of circuits to take care of the load taken by these appliances. AVith the increasing desire for higher intensities of illumination, there is also a tendency to overload the circuits by the use of larger-capacity lamps. Endeavours have been made to anticipate this by calling for the lighting circuits to be so laid out and installed as will provide for a certain wattage, depending upon the extent of the areas to be illuminated. 14 Geo. 5 Inspector of Electrical Energy. C 179 Sockets and Receptacles.—It has been felt that facilities for the use of electrical appliances should be made in all installations by the provision of sockets and receptacles additional to those required for lighting purposes, and this practice has been encouraged as one which will conduce to a safer use of these appliances. Power Wiring.—There appears to be an increasing demand, for motors of the larger sizes to be operated at higher voltages. This has necessitated certain changes in the requirements for the wiring for 2,200-volt motors. There is also a tendency for 550 volts to be used to a greater extent than hitherto for general factory purposes, resulting in the tendency to use 440-volt equipment for the 550-volt work. In some cases equipment designed for the lower voltage has been considered as satisfactory for the higher and approval has been given. As the use of these higher voltages makes for economy in cables, endeavours are being made, as far as practicable, to make such changes' in our regulations as will permit of such lower costs in cable and wiring without reducing the standards of safety. The use of protected type or externally operated switch-boxes for power purposes is now practically universal throughout the Province, and the enclosing of fuses is now standard practice. It is felt that in the larger capacities the time is now approaching when ordinary type fuses should be replaced by oil circuit-breakers. This is not compulsory so far, but many of the more important power- installations are now being so installed. Power-house Rules. These rules have now been put in final form. Their scope extends to all electrical equipment in power-houses and sub-stations, including those which may be installed in the larger factories and where qualified persons are in attendance. The rules are divided into nine main sections, as follows :— Section 1. Protective arrangement of power-houses and sub-station buildings. Section 2. Protective arrangements of equipment. Section 3. Rotating equipment. Section 4. Transformers, resistance devices, ground detectors, etc. Section 5. Conductors. Section 6. Circuit-breakers, switches, fuses, and controllers, etc. Section 7. Switchboards. Section 8. Lightning-arresters. Section 9. Transmission-line telephone protection. There are forty-nine rules, each section comprising separate rules dealing with subdivision of the main sections. For instance, section 6 is subdivided as follows:— Rule 32. Circuit-breakers and switches. Rule 33. Disconnectors. Rule 34. Accidental closing. Rule 35. AArhere switches are required. Rule 36. Where fuses or automatic circuit-breakers are required. Rule 37. Fuse-protection. Rule 38. Arcing or suddenly moving parts. Rule 39. Accessible and indicating. The general form of the rules has been so drawn that the requirements of the Workmen's Compensation Board for the prevention of accidents to employees in power-houses and substations have been covered. The rules have not yet been printed, but copies of individual sections or particular rules are available. At an early date they will be submitted for approval by Order in Council and will be subsequently obtainable in complete printed form. Specifications. An endeavour has been made during the year to encourage amongst the owners or builders of factories of other structures where electrical equipment has to be installed the adoption of the practice of having a complete specification drawn for all the electrical work. This system will work in with the routine proposed under the new " Electrical Energy Inspection Act" and will facilitate the work of the office. This practice has already been adopted for several of the more important factory buildings which have recently been erected, the specification in each case being submitted to this office before the work is commenced. 12 C 180 Public Works Report (1922-23). " Electrical Energy Inspection Act, 1922." During the year under review the matter of amending the " Electrical Energy Inspection Act" was taken up. Ararious additions and changes were proposed and were embodied in the new Act which was passed at the last session of the Legislature. Under this Act power is now granted to prohibit or restrain the sale of electrical equipment the use of which would be accompanied by danger to person or property. Additional powers have also been granted relating to the submission of plans and specifications for electrical works previous to installation being commenced. These and several other sections of the Act will, it is "considered, result in a higher standard of electrical work, with consequently increased safety to the public and to all persons working with or in the vicinity of electrical equipment. The desirability of obtaining, as far as possible, standardization and uniformity of electrical installation-work throughout the Province was kept in view during the drafting of the Act. Consequently provision has been made which will reduce to a minimum the differences between electrical by-laws which may be passed by the cities or municipalities. Experience to date with the operation of the Act has been entirely satisfactory in this and in all other respects in which its operation has so far been applied. Rule of the Road. The changes in the track and overhead work necessitated by the alteration of the Rule of the Road have proceeded during the year and the British Columbia Electric Railway Company is now approaching completion of the work. These changes have been of an extensive and varied nature and the supervision of same has occupied a considerable part of the time of the office. Progress reports of the work indicate that, on account of modifications which were found possible as the work proceeded, the expense to the Government for the changes to the track and overhead portions of the railway equipment will be considerably less than was anticipated. Trj^nsmission and Distribution Lines. The high-voltage transmission-line systems throughout the Province have been extended during the year. The East Kootenay Power & Light Company has constructed a 06,000-volt power-line from Cranbrook to Kimberley, primarily for the purpose of giving supply to the new concentrator-mill of the Consolidated Mining & Smelting Company. This power company now has approximately 100 miles of 06,000-volt transmission-line in Eastern British Columbia. The extension to Kelowna of the high-voltage system of the West Kootenay Power & Light Company in the Okanagan Valley has now been completed, this being a 30-mile extension from the company's system at Penticton. The Arancouver Power Company proposes extensive additions to its high-voltage transmission system. A 30-mile extension from North Vancouver to Britannia Mines on Howe Sound is under way. The power company has recently entered into a contract with the Britannia Mining & Smelting Company for supply of electrical energy, and this line is for the purpose of giving this supply. A sub-station will be built at the mines, where the supply will be stepped down to 2,300 volts and used for supplementing the mining company's supply from its own hydroelectric plant. The Vancouver Power Company is also planning for an addition to the transmission system from Lake Buntzen power-house to Vancouver, consisting of a line from the south end of Lake Buntzen and running round the head of the inlet at Port Moody. This line will supplement the present long-span crossing over the inlet at Barnet. The company also is about to undertake the reconstruction of approximately 12 miles of existing 34,000-voIt line. The usual amount of extension of distribution-lines has been carried out, the major portion of this work being in the Fraser Valley and other outlying parts of the British Columbia Electric Railway Company's system. Throughout the Interior progress continues to be made in the replacing of the 'older construction with new poles and lines in conformity with the overhead rules. Accidents. There have been fourteen electrical accidents during the year, particulars of these being as given below. One accident was fatal, and another, while not resulting in any loss of limbs or eyesight, may result in partial disability. One accident resulted in amputation of a thumb, and one accident was of a very minor nature, resulting in no loss of time from work. The 14 Geo. 5 Inspector of Electrical Energy. C 181 other accidents resulted in no permanent disability, but in the injured parties being incapacitated from their duties for periods ranging from 6 to 119 days. Occupation. Place. Date.

During the year all the office records of electrical installations in factories and industrial plants generally were gone over, and a programme of inspection-work laid out covering new installations and- others in which changes to electrical equipment had been made during the year. A considerable number of factories were visited and inspections made of the maintenance of the electrical equipment and wiring. The standard of work done in the installation of electric motors, switch-gear, etc., was found to be very considerably improved. In the inspections of transmission and distribution pole-lines special attention has been given to places of particular importance, especially crossings of high-voltage transmission-lines with telephone circuits. The separate list of inspections made under the " Electrical Energy Inspection Act" gives the various plants and electrical distribution systems inspected during the year. Public AVorks. The work done during the year in conjunction with the office of the Supervising Architect and Public AVorks Engineer has inciucled the preparation of specifications for the electrical work in schools, hospitals, prisons, Court-houses, and other Government buildings and institutions. Reports have been made in connection with the maintenance of the electric wiring and for the changing or renewing of same in various buildings where on account of structural changes or for other reasons alterations to the electrical installation had become necessary. C 182 Public AVorks Report (1922-23). The erection of pole-lines on Provincial highways has been followed in the usual manner. Co-operation between this office and the various District Engineers has resulted in control being exercised over the locating and constructing of all pole-lines on the highways. By the system in use records are obtained of all such lines, including a record of the ownership. A large number of telephone-lines throughout the Province have been constructed on the highways during the year, particularly on Vancouver Island, and as these in some cases have been constructed on highways already occupied by telephone, telegraph, or power lines, considerable negotiation has been required in some instances in order to arrange for joint pole-construction, or for changing of route where this was necessary. The practice has been continued of limiting the pole-lines on any one roadway to two in number, and this has necessitated joint construction where more than one telephone or telegraph line are proposed on a roadway already occupied by a power-transmission line. Workmen's Compensation Board. The office continues to carry on the electrical inspection work as required by this Board. All electrical accidents resulting in compensation claims are investigated and reports submitted to the Board. General. It has not been found practicable to complete the proposed rules for prevention of inductive interference between high-voltage transmission-lines and telephone circuits. It has been found necessary to leave the rules in general form only, and supplement them with special requirements in each individual case as it arises. Work of the usual varied nature was carried out during the year for the offices of the Fire Marshal and Land Settlement Board and for other offices and departments of the Government. I have, etc., J. Muirhead, Inspector of Electrical Energy. 14 Geo. 5 Inspector of Dykes. C 183 ANNUAL REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF DYKES. Office of Inspector of Dykes, New Westminster, B.C., October 29th, 1923. J. E. Griffith, Esq., C.E., Deputy Minister of Public Works, Victoria, B.C. Sir,—The following report on the activities of the Dykes Department for the departmental year ended September 30th, 1928, is respectfully submitted:— Introductory. In the early reclamation days of several of the Fraser River flood-plains certain dyking districts were incorporated and the administration of those districts placed in the hands of elected Commissioners. These administrators by the sale of bonds raised money with which to carry on the dyking-works in their respective districts, and evidently experienced the usual difficulties in performing the functions of their office. The record Fraser freshet of 1894 brought such havoc that a new bond issue was necessary for reconstruction purposes, and the Government of the Province of British Columbia saw fit to come to their rescue to the extent of guaranteeing a part of the interest upon their bonds. This proved to be the thin edge of the wedge, aud Government guarantees grew into actual expenditures. These, in turn, grew to such proportions that the Government eventually had to assume control and make advances to defray maintenance costs. The charges necessary against the benefited lands, in order to repay the Government's advances, became so great in 1904 that it was argued that the development and advancement of the districts would.be jeopardized, and so the ''Dyking Assessments Adjustment Act, 1905," was enacted. By it a part of the Government's expenditures was established as fixed capital charges; those charges were apportioned against the districts involved, and regulations were made, the carrying-out of which would recoup those charges to the Government at the end of forty years. Provision was further made for the maintenance of the several dyking-works by way of altering, adding to, and renewing the same, and for assessing and collecting these costs, together with interest and sinking fund charges on the fixed capital, in annual assessments. An officer known as the "Inspector of Dykes" is vested with the responsibilities entaiied in the carrying-out of the enactment, and the following constitutes the eighteenth annual report of that officer. Those responsibilities may properly be divided under two headings, and are here treated as such—namely, Finance and Works. (1.) Finance. According to the original enactment, lands upon which assessments were due December 31st and unpaid at July 31st following became involved in tax sale. It was found that this machinery had become obsolete and was not filling the purpose for which it was intended. In addition, advertising costs amounted to 50 per cent, of the unpaid assessments. During the year the 1922 amendment became operative, and by it a system of automatic forfeiture replaces the system of tax sale. Lands in arrears now become subject to forfeiture one year after the assessments become due, and remain in that status for another year, after which they become absolutely forfeited to the Crown. Due and timely notice is required of these two procedures to all parties interested, and the result is that collections are easier. The following summary shows the structure of the several assessment rolls for the year under review :— C 184 Public Works Report (1922-23), 1,294 00 720 19 592 18 41 76 2,S99 40 Coquitlam District— Ordinary maintenance expenditure $ 4,602 69 Payment Account, 1912-14, electrical installation „ „ flood-gates „ 1921-22, back-ditch improvements „ 1905-22, special audit 1905, capital Total $10,156 22 Rate per acre, $3.13.

In the assessment rolls to which these extracts refer the original capital of 1905 forms a separate assessment. All other Government advances in which repayment is distributed over a term of years are treated as deferred maintenance charge, and collections on interest and sinking fund payments are included in the ordinary maintenance charges for any year. This has the effect of making that part of the individual assessment segregated to maintenance appear out of proportion to the work done in any year as straight maintenance-work, and sometimes throws the Department open to unfair criticism. To remedy this an amendment to the Act would be necessary, which would consolidate the different deferred maintenance accounts and bring them to account along with the original capital charges. The charges above referred to are payable on December 31st next. Collections.—Collections for the year dealing with the assessments which became payable on Deceniher 31st, 1922, and arrears thereto, have been slightly enlivened by the amendment of 1922 mentioned previously. The notices to the owners or occupiers required to be mailed July Isi to those in arrears brought some results, and it is felt that the second notice required after December 31st, which notice is sent to the owners, and also to the holders of any registered charges, will greatly speed up the payment of arrears. Collections for the year have been as follows: Total collections, September 30th, 1922, to October 1st, 1923, as under:— District. 1922 Roll. Capital Charge. Maintenance.

Resulting from that subdivision the City of Port Coquitlam, has some 447.5 acres in allowances for streets and roads, and is in arrears upon this acreage since 1914 in the amount of $9,194.79, exclusive of interest charges. Attempts have been made to recover a part of these arrears, but without success. A document is on file from the Corporation of the city which is intended to substitute for a judgment, but the actual recovery of these arrears appears very indefinite. Expenditures.—Expenditures for the year other than ordinary maintenance expenditures will be referred to under " Works." C 186 Public Works Report (1922-23). Ordinary expenditures in all districts have been kept to as low a point as possible, commensurate with service, and show a combined reduction of $3,556.89 over the previous year, as follows:— District. Ordinary Maintenance. Decrease. 1922-23. 1921-22. Coquitlam Maple Ridge $4,602 69 635 88 1,906 22 5,320 95 8,311 58 $4,504 24 2,169 92 1,797 75 6,335 09 9,523 01 $1,534 04 1,014 34 1,211 43 Less increase in Coquitlam and Pitt Meadows No. 2 $3,759 81 202 92. $3,556 89 The question of taxation is ever important with the Department. Complaints of their severity appear to have been general for all time, and the remedy would seem to lie along the lines of increased production. In so far as this concerns dyked lands, the answer seems to be drainage facilities first, and after that more individual industry, which will be further referred to under " Works." Drainage facilities cost money; wherefore maintenance charge must be kept down or the combined dyking charges will constitute a burden. To help towards economy the Inspector of Dykes, with his office and staff, was removed from Victoria to New Westminster on March 1st, 1923, and the saving thus effected is quite considerable. (2.) Works. Ordinary maintenance requirements may truly be said to depend upon the amount of precipitation and evaporation, together with flood-heights attained by the rivers, and time of duration, with the last-named factor being cumulative in effect because of the question of seepage and attendant dangers. The following table shows the recorded flood-heights over a number of years:— 14 Geo. 5 Inspector of Dykes. C 187 Spring and Summer Flood-heights. Fraser River (Matsqui). Pitt River. Year. Date.

Gates opened. 1920 May 16 Aug. 26 1921 May 15 Aug. 23 1922 May 16 July 21 1923 May 9 Aug. 4 From this comparison it is noted that the time of duration was slightly less than the average. It covered a period of eighty-seven days, but as the freshet was not extremely high, none of the dyke structures were endangered to any extent, although precautionary measures were necessary at Matsqui for two days around June 14th. No emergency work was necessary upon the dykes throughout the year, and therefore nothing was attempted. In the report of last year the question of the seepage evil along the Matsqui defence was recited, and the efforts made to interest the three railway companies who are vitally interested in the dykes' security. The matter was thought of sufficient importance to warrant appeal to the Board of Railway Commissioners. A hearing took place at Victoria on September ISth, 1922, at which a decision was withheld, pending a fuller consideration of the Board's jurisdiction. Under date March 20th, 1923, the Board, through their Secretary, advised that " they were endeavouring to make amicable arrangements, and that, failing in this, judgment would issue." The full meaning of the foregoing is not clear, but the fact remains that nothing has yet been done towards making this structure safe, and it is the opinion of the writer that in its present condition a freshet approaching that of 1894 would cause it to fail in one or more sections. The remedy involves an expenditure of some $45,000; action is therefore deferred, fearing that such an expenditure would overburden the district. Pumping.—Pumping services were continued as usual, but owing to the excess of evaporation over precipitation the demands were not great and a considerable saving in power-consumption was effected. C 188 Public Works Report (1922-23). During the season some slight trouble developed in one of the old Byron Jackson pumps at Matsqui, as well as with two pulleys on the new pumps in that district, and these defects will require attention before another season. Flood-boxes.—Three wooden flood-gates have not yet been renewed, and they have about reached the limit of their useful lives. One of these on Slough No. 1, Matsqui, 'was included in the programme of concrete sluices, 1920, but was withdrawn on account of the excessive costs prevailing. Its renewal must soon be undertaken, at which time attention should be given to a 20-per-cent. increase in capacity. Many of the gates on those constructed in 1912 require renewing, and it is intended to do this under ordinary maintenance before the next spring freshet. The defective concrete flood-box in Coquitlam District was repaired during the year and the cost charged to ordinary maintenance, which fact explains the increase in maintenance expenditure in that district. One additional flood-box was provided in Maple Ridge District during the year; this is referred to under " New Work." Brushing.—The problem of brushing the dykes is one that now assumes quite large proportions, except in those districts where the Department's pasturing permit is in demand. The custom was inaugurated two years ago of granting permits over specified sections, in return for the privileges of which the holder undertook to close cut brush aud noxious weeds. In the Pitt River Districts these permits are not in demand and the brush is away to a great start. The cutting of this brush is expensive work under prevailing labour conditions, and unless the cleared area is closely grazed the growth of the new hrush is very rapid. Certain sections have been kept closely cut to admit of more thorough inspection and any necessary work which might develop, but beyond this no expense has been incurred. Attempts have been made to interest sheepmen in this grazing proposition, and it is helieved in this way a means of permanently disposing of the brushing question without adding to maintenance charges may be found. One sheepman became enthusiastic over the proposition, and stated that the Pitt River dykes provided ample grazing-ground for 4,000 sheep. Unfortunately, he had not sufficient capital with which to stock up. New Work. New work for the year has been confined to the construction of a reinforced-concrete flood-box in the Maple Ridge District and drainage-work in Coquitlam, Pitt Meadows No. 2, and Maple Ridge Districts. The flood-box above referred to is the first to be constructed in this district emptying into the Fraser River. It supplements the outlet capacity of those previously existing, and in addition draws to an elevation of 1.5 feet lower. It consists of a double inverted " II " on a floor resting on mud-sills, with the necessary cut-offs, aprons, and retaining-walls. The " U" type was adopted to permit a greater bottom width to the barrels. This width is 6 feet in each. A feature of this box is a new type of gate suspended in a vertical position from an axle mounted on dry-kiln-truck wheels, the wheels being in a horizontal runway, with a 20-inch freedom of movement in the direction of the longest axis of the box. It was designed with the idea of reducing friction losses and thus to be enabled to take the maximum advantage of a falling tide, and conversely to close quickly on a rising tide, and is proving very satisfactory. The whole was constructed by day-work with local labour under our direct supervision. It cost $3,459 and is included in the Maple Ridge drainage job. Drainage.—During the year the Department's unit of excavating machinery has been busy for two shifts each day, with the exception of two weeks in December, 1922, when the frost was sufficiently intense to slow down the work to such an extent that it was considered advisable to tie up, awaiting a change in weather conditions. The job on the natural waterways in the Maple Ridge District was completed, as well as the excavation for the flood-box already mentioned. The unit then undertook the completion of the back-ditch improvements in the Coquitlam District, and attended to some necessary work in that part of the district which was being intensively cultivated. Pitt Meadows No. 2 District was then undertaken, and at the end of the Department's year the plant had just finished the refilling and outlet at the flood-box already mentioned in the Maple Ridge District. Sufficient time has elapsed since the completion of the work on the natural waterways in the Maple Ridge District to prove that with proper drainage facilities 14 Geo. 5 Inspector of Dykes. C 189 that area may yet become a great asset to the agricultural wealth of the Province, and the financial interests of the Government therein made secure. The work in its present scope, confining itself as it does to natural waterways, does not permit of individual benefit, and yet the area was dry enough this summer to justify the opening of the flood-gates on three occasions to let the river-water in. Residents claim that the crops in cultivated portions this year showed a material increase over any other year, and it is the opinion of the writer that a comprehensive drainage scheme would now be justified in this area. The problem there is to so control the water-table that the land can be worked early in the season,' and it is now demonstrated that this can be done. Pitt Meadows No. 2 District.—During the year a fairly comprehensive drainage scheme was executed in this district. Commencement was made in April to do the necessary work on a part of that area controlled by the Canadian Financiers Trust Company, and at the expense of that company. While that work was in progress the settlers on the remaining portion of the area petitioned for better drainage under section 5S of the Act. Authority was given and the work extended to embrace the whole area. Some 8.25 miles of lateral-ditch work, averaging a depth of 6 feet and a bottom width 3 feet and 4 feet, were constructed, together with 1.4 miles of slough-cleansing. The projects above referred to were executed by the Dykes Department plant at actual cost plus plant rental, surveying, supervision, accounting, etc., being absorbed by the permanent staff. General. When it was decided to remove from Victoria to New Westminster early in the year, it was then hoped that the year would show better results, both as regards finance and works. It is now felt that that hope has, in a measure, been realized, and that with a full year it will become more pronounced. Yours obediently, Bruce Dixon, Inspector of Dykes.
