REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER. Parliament Buildings, Victoria, B.C., November 2nd, 1935. Hon. F. M. MacPherson, Minister of Public Works, Victoria, B.C. Sir,—I have the honour to report as follows on the work and activities of this Department during the fiscal year 1934-35:— ROADS AND BRIDGES. Maintenance.—Expenditures for maintenance of roads, bridges, and ferries, including maintenance of paved highways, totalled $1,317,718.84, as compared with $1,226,741.60 in the previous year; while this expenditure is considerably below the average under this heading for the ten years prior to 1931, it must be remembered that a considerable amount of maintenance and minor betterment work is now done by men working in return for direct relief; it is not, however, possible readily to state the value of such work in dollars and cents. Construction.—Under this heading, the Department was decidedly more active than during the previous year; in addition to the work carried out by single homeless men in relief camps, under the care of the Department of National Defence, it was possible to finance other work from capital funds and from what was termed " Provincial Works Loan (P.C. 2013) Unemployment Relief Fund," which latter funds were loaned by the Dominion Government for the purpose of stimulating employment. Details of the expenditures are given in the financial section of this report and particulars of the work done will be found in the attached individual reports of District Engineers and other officials. An analysis of the accounts shows expenditures of $575,699.26 on roads, $304,144.45 on bridges, $58,665.47 on buildings, $19,274.35 on trails to mineral areas and on mining-roads, as well as $120,731.61 under the heading of " flood damage," or a total of $1,078,515.14, exclusive of expenditures on equipment and equipment-sheds and exclusive of expenditures on relief. In organizing the work of the Department, first consideration was given to the preparation of main roads as a preliminary to bituminous surfacing, especially in the southern interior portion of the Province, and particularly on the Trans-Canada, Southern Trans-Provincial, and the Okanagan Highways; good progress was made, nearly 300 miles of road being ready for surfacing by the early summer of 1935. In this connection it may be said that, for this class of surfacing, it is of primary importance that the road shall be in proper condition to take the surface; the grading of the existing gravel surface must be good and the drainage satisfactory; unless these conditions are met, the resulting surfacing job is liable to be unsatisfactory and expensive to maintain. The following is a summary of the works undertaken on highways during the year, including work carried out by relief crews from the Department of National Defence relief camps:— Class of Highway-work. Trunk and Main Highways. Other Roads. Total. Miles. 24 123 Miles. 151 70 Miles. 175 193 232 Gravel surfacing renewed 360 119 T 4 PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1934-35. Attached to this report is a schedule showing the highway relief projects undertaken or continued during the year by the Department of National Defence. Construction-work was continued at both ends of the Hope-Princeton section of the Southern Trans-Provincial Highway and on the Revelstoke end of the Big Bend section of the Trans-Canada Highway, these being the two most important road-construction projects in progress at the present time. Owing to the conditions under which this relief-work is organized, progress is, unfortunately, somewhat slower than could be wished for. The Province continued to supply and maintain the machinery in use on these relief projects and to pay the mechanics' and operators' wages as well as the cost of additional wages for skilled labour. The cost of surveys is also paid by the Province. Camps were supplied by the Province and are maintained by the Department of National Defence. THE UNEMPLOYMENT SITUATION. As reported last year, the Department of Public Works has been relieved of the burden of administering this major problem of Provincial Government; all relief accounting, however, is still handled by this Department under the direction of the Chief Accountant. As far as possible, Provincial direct relief in unorganized territory was again on a " work basis " and officials of this Department, as in previous years, co-operated with Government Agents in supervising the work. Returns received show that on January 31st, 1935, the total number of men in relief camps was 7,142, this being the highest number for the year; the lowest number occurred at the end of August. The details are as follows:— Number of Men in Relief Camps. Highest as Lowest as In Department of National Defence relief camps:— g*rtJlMS? siJtwu. (a.) On Provincial road projects 6,041 3,164 (6.)

STORM AND FLOOD DAMAGE. During the month of January a disastrous snow-storm took place, which was followed, on the Coast, by a sudden rise in temperature and by heavy and prolonged rains, resulting in extensive floods. Included in this report is a tabulation, based on figures kindly supplied by the Superintendent of the Gonzales Heights Meteorological Observatory, which clearly shows the enormous precipitation for January, 1935, compared with the average precipitation for January. The heaviest snowfall occurred on January 20th and 21st, 1935; during the following week transportation and communication in the Lower Fraser Valley were entirely disrupted, and it was not until January 29th, 1935, that the transcontinental railway service was again in operation. The town of Chilliwack was isolated for about one month, owing to a break in the Sumas Dyke, which flooded the main highway. The Fraser Canyon section of the Cariboo Road was blocked by slides and through traffic for light vehicles only was not resumed until March 6th, 1935. In order to prevent damage to flooded highways by traffic, the provisions of section 33 of the " Highway Act" were invoked by the passing of regulations tem-> porarily restricting traffic to 2% tons gross on roads in Esquimalt and Cowichan-Newcastle Districts, and temporarily closing the Pacific Highway to all traffic. The Bridge River Road was closed for nine days owing to slides, a condition which caused much anxiety. An enormous washout occurred on Marine Drive in the University Endowment area; approximately 370,000 cubic yards of material were required in order to repair the road at this point. Many bridges were washed out, but in a number of cases these were nearing obsolescence. The sum of $120,731.61 is shown in the accounts this year for repairs to storm damage, although this amount does not represent the entire cost, many of the repairs having been effected during the fiscal year 1935-36. When all accounts have been received, REPORT OF CHIEF ENGINEER. T 5 it is expected that the entire cost will be about one-half million dollars; in return for this expenditure the Department will have several new bridges and also improved roads in many cases. BRIDGES. Attached is report of the Bridge Engineer, together with statement of bridges constructed or reconstructed, which shows that there was more activity in this branch of the work than during the previous year. Attention is drawn to the Bridge Engineer's remarks concerning the increase in weight and volume of traffic and obsolescence of many structures. FERRIES. The report of the Mechanical Superintendent gives, in some detail, the result of inspection made on power-ferries; the condition of such ferries, generally, is satisfactory as well as the service given. A tabulation is attached showing traffic handled by the more important ferries during the year. MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT. The opportunity was taken to utilize a portion of the special funds available to construct equipment-sheds and repair-shops at several points; in particular, sheds were constructed at two points on the Barkerville Road and at two points on the Bridge River Road in order to provide more adequate accommodation for snow-ploughing equipment. Although the situation with regard to housing of equipment is greatly improved, further accommodation is still necessary. An inventory and schedule showing valuation of plant and tools accompanies this report. BITUMINOUS SURFACING. The work for 1934-35 comprised 24.54 miles of new bituminous surfacing and 2.86 miles of resurfacing and spraying of about 5 miles of tar dust-layer, the total cost being $44,782.01. Expenditures according to districts are given in the financial section of this report. Expenditures for maintenance charges amounted to $58,829.89.

As will be noted from the individual reports of District Engineers, heavy snow was experienced during the winter, resulting in an increase in the mileage ploughed as well as the cost per mile. In all, 6,239 miles of roads were ploughed, some requiring ploughing only once, others several times, and, in some cases, continuously for as long as six weeks. The total cost, including machinery charges based on fair rentals for machinery used, averaged $21.17 per mile of road kept open; the average cost per snow-plough mile (i.e., the average cost for ploughing 1 mile of road once) was $3.79, the highest for any district being $24.39. Operation, wages, gasoline, oil, and supplies represented 73 per cent, of the total cost. These roads were ploughed an average of 5.6 times during the season. T 6 PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1934-35. The unusually heavy snowfall experienced during January, 1935, has drawn attention to the inadequacy of the snow-removal equipment at present owned by this Department. In his report, the Mechanical Superintendent has recommended that four or five modern snow-fighting units be acquired, these to be located at strategic points throughout the Province. Most of the trouble encountered in snow-removal is caused by slides or drifts. While it is seldom possible to prevent drifting entirely, well-placed snow-fences are found to be of great assistance, but before any expense for such fences is incurred a careful study of the conditions in each location—and some experimentation—is generally necessary. During the fiscal year a general survey was made with regard to drifting conditions throughout the Province and the opinion of the various District Engineers was obtained, and studies will be made during the winter of 1935-36 with a view to a somewhat more general use of snow-fencing in the future, if it can be shown that such use is economical. TRAILS. The Department has 4,372 miles of ordinary trails and 5,387 miles of mining-trails on the registers at the present time, the total being 9,759 miles. In addition to ordinary maintenance, assistance was provided by the Mines Department in the amount of $36,155.78 as grants in aid of mining trails and roads; in addition to this, $6,320.58 was provided from capital account and $12,953.77 from the " Provincial Works Loan," or a total of $55,430.13. ROAD MILEAGE. Included in this report is the usual statement of total Provincial road mileage, showing classified highways separately, by electoral districts, the total being 19,739.84 miles as at March 31st, 1935. Some slight changes in various districts are due to revision of road registers which has been undertaken during the year; this revision is not yet complete. It will be noted that, according to the returns received, there are 6,688 miles of gravelled and 632 miles of paved or bituminous-surfaced highways. The total Provincial and classified mileage of 19,739.84 miles may be classed as follows:— Miles. Trunk and main highways 5,986.44 Local roads 4,624.39 Settlement, farm, and industrial roads 9,129.01 CLASSIFIED HIGHWAYS. Very few changes were made under this heading during the fiscal year. In the City of Alberni the classification of the River Road, No. 5b, was raised from secondary to primary, the total distance being 1.6 miles; in Delta Municipality, the arterial classification of the unconstructed portion of the Ladner-Marsh Road, No. 80r, a distance of 0.73 mile, was rescinded. A change was made in the Municipality of Spallumcheen, the arterial classification of a portion of the Vernon-Salmon Arm Road, 3.36 miles in length, having been rescinded, and the Lansdowne Loop Road, No. 70a, formerly primary, was reclassified as arterial to form part of the Vernon-Salmon Arm Highway. As at October 31st, 1935, there was a total of 307.60 miles of municipal roads classified as arterial, 58.86 miles classified as primary, and 151.62 miles classified as secondary. HIGHWAY TRAFFIC. Traffic on the Cariboo Road, as recorded from April 16th to November 15th, 1934, showed a daily average of 103 vehicles as compared with ninety-two vehicles in 1933, the daily average of foreign vehicles being fourteen as compared with thirteen for the previous year. A total of 22,105 vehicles passed through the toll-gate during the year 1934 between April 16th and November 15th. A tabulation of the monthly records of 1934 traffic is attached, showing also the figures for 1935. In the 1932-33 report a comparative tabulation was given showing records of traffic for four important ferries, as an indication of the fluctuation of volume of traffic generally throughout the Province; this tabulation has been brought up to date as follows (an increase of about 10 per cent, in total traffic on these ferries in the year 1934-35 will be noted) :— REPORT OF CHIEF ENGINEER.

The report of the Traffic Superintendent indicates that there was very little change in the number of licences for public carriers issued or in the amount collected in fees. In my last report I referred to the problem of the " contract carrier "; careful consideration was given to this question during the year, resulting in the preparation of a Bill to amend Part V. of the " Highway Act." This matter is dealt with more fully under the heading of " Legislation." It is desired to take this opportunity of placing on record the services rendered by the Advisory Board in dealing with applications for licences and in connection with preparation of the draft amendments referred to. LEGISLATION. Bill No. 65, " An Act to amend the ' Highway Act,' " received assent on March 23rd, 1935. Section 8 was amended to give the Minister the power to erect, maintain, and remove snow- fences on private property; provision was also made, under this section, for the amendment of Gazette notices establishing highways for the purpose of correcting any error or supplying any omission therein; power was also given to the Minister, under this section, to give a name to or change the name of any highway in unorganized territory by notice in the Gazette. Section 11 (2) was re-enacted; by this amendment it is now only necessary to advertise the intention to close or discontinue a highway when such highway is in actual use by any person. Minor amendments were made to sections 17, 34, and 36. Part V., dealing with licensing of motor carriers, was entirely re-enacted, and this portion of the Act now applies to all vehicles carrying freight, whether or not for compensation, and to all vehicles carrying passengers for compensation on highways in unorganized territory or on arterial or primary highways within a municipality, unless exempted by the Act or regulations thereunder. Under this Act, carriers are divided into three main classes—namely, public carriers of passengers or freight, limited carriers of passengers or freight, and private freight-vehicles. Fees are fixed by regulation, but may not exceed the maximum amounts provided in the Schedule to the Act; all fees are payable in advance. The Act provides penalties for soliciting of transportation business by persons who do not hold a carrier's licence. It was provided that this amended Part V. of the Act should come into force on the Proclamation of the Lieutenant- Governor in Council; before this could be effected it was necessary to draft the new regulations, and, accordingly, the amended Part V. did not come into operation during the fiscal year under review. While it is, as yet, too early to judge whether the new provisions will be entirely satisfactory, there is no doubt that some action of this nature was necessary in order to control the activities of persons who were undoubtedly making use of the highway for gain but whose operations did not come under the provisions of the old Act. Data were obtained and a draft was prepared for a revision of the regulations, pursuant to section 34 of the " Highway Act," governing weights of vehicles, as the old regulations were rapidly becoming obsolete. This revision did not, however, become effective during the fiscal year. ADMINISTRATION. Effective April 1st, 1934, the field organization of the Department was revised, the number of engineering districts being reduced to eight in number; the electoral districts included in T 8 PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1934-35. each engineering district and the names and location of the District Engineers are given at the head of the individual reports for the various engineering districts. The reorganization achieved the dual purpose of economy and increased efficiency of administration. The present staff of the Department includes eight District Engineers, fourteen Assistant District Engineers in charge of one or more electoral districts, and twelve General Foremen in charge of an electoral district or portion thereof. In addition, the outside staff includes a Highway Traffic Branch and Right-of-way Agent with offices in Vancouver. For the purpose of standardization, the general wage-scale for public works was revised during the year. Correspondence at headquarters showed a slight increase, 44,400 inward and outward letters being attended to and approximately 68,000 files handled. A total of 117 sets of subdivision plans, submitted for approval under the terms of the " Land Registry Act," were dealt with during the fiscal year. It is a pleasure to record the loyal and faithful services rendered by the various officials at headquarters and by the field staff. During the first four months of the fiscal year Mr. P. Philip was Chief Engineer of the Department, my appointment to this position having been effective August 1st, 1934. All of which is respectfully submitted. A. DIXON, Chief Engineer. REPORT OF THE CHIEF ARCHITECT. Maintenance of Public Buildings.—The appropriation for maintenance of public buildings was supplemented by funds made available from the Provincial Works Loan; it was therefore possible to effect some greatly needed repairs to public buildings which could not otherwise have been attempted, with the result that several buildings have been saved from falling into a serious state of disrepair. It would greatly assist in placing the buildings in a sound structural condition if further funds could be made available, as the general repair vote is inadequate for the purpose. Accommodation.—It is desired respectfully to draw your attention to the overcrowding of office and hospital accommodation in buildings under Provincial control. The saturation-point has been reached in the Parliament Buildings and in the Court-houses at Vancouver, Kamloops, Nelson, New Westminster, and elsewhere. In our mental hospitals, in particular, it is now necessary to improvise ways and means in order to provide adequately for the increased population in these institutions; such services as nursing, laundry, bakery, and sewerage- disposal are also inadequate to meet the demands which such increases make upon them, and the Province will undoubtedly be faced with a considerable outlay in the near future to remedy this condition. Tranquille Sanatorium.—The construction of an additional unit to the boiler plant is nearly complete; this unit will have sufficient capacity to take the whole load at this institution in the coldest weather and is so constructed as to be capable of using coal from mines in the interior of the Province to advantage, providing that the price of such fuel is favourable. Furniture.—The expansion of the public services has resulted in increased demands on available funds for the equipment of new offices, and a considerable amount of renewals and repairs have been necessary to typewriters and other office machinery. Grounds.—The grounds at the various public buildings and institutions are being steadily improved, and in this connection use has been made of a number of shrubs from the nursery at Essondale. Plans for Schools and Hospitals.—This Branch has supplied a number of plans and specifications for rural schools throughout the Province; the calling of tenders, however, was dealt with by the various Boards and the work carried out under their direction. Sketch-plans have been supplied for several small hospitals during the year. New Work.—Work is in progress on the new Home for the Aged and remodelling of the Boys' Industrial School at Coquitlam. Plans are being prepared for a tubercular wing at . ii ■ " " If- MWi'MMU 11 ,{.£ I, i^ ij^ ,__ ... i-_ ' _ BARRIERE BRIDGE, NORTH THOMPSON RIVER, KAMLOOPS DISTRICT.

Staff.—During the year an engineer was appointed to the technical staff of the Branch to supervise heating plants in public buildings throughout the Province; it is expected that a distinct saving will be accomplished by careful supervision of these plants, particularly by the selection of the right type of coal and equipment in each case. The work carried out by the various tradesmen at the Parliament Buildings and institutions during the exceptional floods in the early part of this year is worthy of special mention; they gave freely of their time and service, and it is gratifying to report that, through their efforts, damage to public buildings was negligible. All of which is respectfully submitted. Henry Whittaker, Chief Architect. REPORT OF THE BRIDGE ENGINEER. I have the honour to report upon the construction, reconstruction, and maintenance of bridges throughout the Province for the fiscal year 1934-35, as follows:— During the first nine and one-half months of the fiscal year—that is from April 1st, 1934, to January 15th, 1935—the weather conditions were generally favourable; summer high water did not reach stages above the average on any of the rivers and creeks. Fall floods in the Coast region are expected during October and November, but there were no fall floods of consequence anywhere in the Province except on the Bella Coola River; an extraordinary flood even for this turbulent stream took place in October, resulting in the almost complete destruction of two major bridges at Hagensborg. It appeared as though the Department would finish the season without other serious loss, but, unfortunately, one of the worst storms experienced on the Coast in many years broke on January 20th. The southern half of Vancouver Island and the Fraser Valley from Agassiz to Vancouver suffered the worst tie-up of transportation facilities in their history. All the smaller rivers and creeks rose to unprecedented levels. Within twenty-four hours, communications by railway, road, telephone, and telegraph were cut off, making it all but impossible to get crews to points of danger or even to get reliable information as to what was happening. The damage done to structures was very considerable; fortunately, such damage was confined largely to the minor bridges and culverts and, luckily enough, to structures that were altogether or nearly due for renewal. The main exceptions to this statement were the San Juan River and Jordan River Bridges on Vancouver Island and the damage to one of the main piers in the Stave River Bridge. The effect in some parts of the Province of the mild weather and rains was to cause rivers to rise sufficiently to bring down large quantities of ice, with the result that two major bridges were lost—namely, the Kiskatinaw Bridge in Peace River District and the Cottonwood River Bridge in the Cariboo District; these both were old structures and plans had already been made to renew them, so that their loss was not really a serious matter. Altogether, therefore, it was a difficult year. Funds badly needed for other works had to be applied to the repair of storm damage and the orderly prosecution of the Department's regular bridge programme was seriously disrupted. In all districts skilled men were available who were glad to get the work and prepared to render quite satisfactory service. Material costs were a little higher than in the previous year. Delivery of materials was generally prompt. The major structures renewed during the year were as follows: Cottonwood River Bridge, Cariboo District; Kootenay River Bridge at Fort Steele, Cranbrook District; Old Town Bridge over Michel Creek, Fernie District; Barriere Bridge over North Thompson River, Kamloops District; Delkatla Slough Bridge, Prince Rupert District; and Canford Bridge over the Nicola River, Yale District. Many minor structures were renewed and a very considerable sum was expended on repairs; some of the older and larger bridges had to be extensively repaired and reinforced. T 10 PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1934-35. Many structures throughout the Province are rapidly becoming unfit for traffic and beyond repair; their renewal will be necessary in the near future. Highway traffic is still increasing both in weight and in volume; consequently, risks are being taken in trying to maintain in service structures that are old, too light, and otherwise inadequate. The reaction ferries received considerable attention, as several of them are getting old and are below capacity to take care of traffic properly. Funds do not permit of doing much in the way of bank-protection and stream-regulation; with the heavy equipment now available it would seem advisable to consider more modern and less expensive ways of preventing erosion of banks and flooding of lands and works. It is a pleasure to again record the efficient and dependable services of the whole staff. Respectfully submitted. A. L. Carruthers, Bridge Engineer. REPORT OF THE MECHANICAL SUPERINTENDENT. EQUIPMENT AND MACHINERY. A detailed inspection of the equipment and machinery in every district in the Province was carried out during the fiscal year 1934-35, with the exception of Peace Diver District; reports were submitted showing major repairs and replacements to each unit at time of inspection and repairs recommended to place it in working condition; 1,889 units were inspected. During the year the following units were purchased: Twelve autos, sixty-eight trucks, two caterpillar tractors, one bulldozer, nine snow-ploughs, six snow-blades, two hoists, one pump, and one concrete-mixer. Practically every unit owned by the Department was employed in order to provide equipment to carry out the ordinary work of the Department and the relief operations of the Department of National Defence. Some of the older trucks were withdrawn from service and replaced by new units, but there are still a great many trucks and other units in operation which have reached the stage where the annual maintenance costs and losses incurred due to lack of dependability are in excess of the cost of replacement. The storms and heavy snowfall experienced during January disclosed the fact that the snow-removal equipment owned by the Department is inadequate and most of it has insufficient speed to cope with emergency conditions. In order to keep the main highways open even during normal winter conditions, four or five modern snow-fighting units are urgently required and recommended. These should consist of four-wheel-drive trucks equipped with V-type snow-ploughs with wings and should be located at strategic points throughout the Province. EQUIPMENT-SHEDS AND REPAIR-SHOPS. Buildings were constructed as follows: In the Cariboo District, equipment-sheds on the Barkerville Road at Stanley and at Barkerville; in the Lillooet District, equipment-sheds on the Bridge River Road at Mission Mountain and at Goldbridge; in the Peace River District, equipment-shed at Fort St. John; in the Alberni-Nanaimo District, a repair-shed at Nanaimo; in the Fernie District, an equipment-shed and repair-shop at Fernie; in the Fort George District, a repair-shop at Prince George. Some preliminary work was also done clearing a site at Nelson for a repair-shop. The situation with regard to the housing of equipment is much improved since last report, but there are still many districts where accommodation for housing and storing equipment is inadequate. POWER-FERRIES. In addition to the road machinery and equipment, the power-ferries operated by the Department were inspected and reported on. Kelowna-Westbank Ferry.—This ferry was hauled out on the ways owned by the Canadian Pacific Railway Company at Okanagan Landing in March, 1935, when extensive repairs, occasioned by the presence of dry-rot in the timbers above the water-line, were carried out.

T 11 The main engine and auxiliaries were overhauled while the vessel was on the ways and the ferry generally put in first-class condition. While repairs to the engine and hull were being made, the ferry service was maintained by the Canadian National Railway Company's Tug No. 5 and one of their car-barges. Agassiz-Rosedale Ferry.—The 90-horse-power Wisconsin engines on the M.S. " Eena," which had been in almost constant operation since 1919, were replaced in September, 1934, by two 106-horse-power Ruston-Lister Diesel engines, with a 7-horse-power Ruston-Lister Diesel engine as auxiliary equipment; these engines have given entire satisfaction to date. The service is maintained by the " Eena " under licence by J. T. Henley. Nelson Ferry.—This cable power-ferry has maintained a continuous 24-hour-per-day service for years with very little interruption. Dry-rot which has been reported in the barge for the last three years has increased to such an extent that extensive repairs or replacement will be necessary during fiscal year 1935-36. Kootenay Lake Ferry.—A service of three round trips daily in the summer and two round trips daily in the winter is maintained between Gray Creek and Fraser's Landing on Kootenay Lake by the S.S. " Nasookin." Alterations to the superstructure during fiscal year 1934-35 included the removal of the second and third decks, with the exception of the observation-room on the second deck, and pilot-house lowered to second deck and set farther forward. These alterations have made the vessel easier to handle and have reduced the fuel-consumption. Two new Class A lifeboats were also installed and the vessel painted generally. Major repairs to the boiler will require to be undertaken during next fiscal year. Francois Lake Ferry.—This ferry service is supplied by a vessel of steel construction 66 feet 8 inches in length, beam 27 feet 6 inches, powered with two 30-horse-power Vivian gas-engines, and has been maintained without interruption, except when conditions have made it necessary to haul the vessel out, a very creditable performance. The lake froze over on January 12th, 1935, and service was resumed early in May. During the time the vessel was hauled out minor repairs to the hull and engines were carried out. Castlegar Ferry.—Dry-rot has been reported in the barge of this ferry for the last two years, and this condition should be kept under close observation until an opportunity occurs to have the ferry hauled out and a detailed inspection made. This is a power cable-ferry operating -across the Columbia River near Castlegar. Ladner-Woodward Ferry.—M.S. " Agassiz " was transferred from the Agassiz-Rosedale run in November, 1932, to replace Ladner-Woodward Ferry No. 3, withdrawn from service. The service was maintained according to the terms of the licence granted to L. H. Robson. N eedles-F auquier Ferry.—A power cable-ferry supplies an hourly schedule between the above points on the Arrow Lakes. Dry-rot has developed in the barge and this condition will require attention in the near future. Twelve-mile Ferry.—This is a power cable-ferry on the Columbia River, 12 miles south of Revelstoke; barge, engine, and towers are all in good condition. Twenty-four-mile Ferry.—The old barge, which was in a very serious and unsafe condition, was replaced with a new one in the winter of 1934 and the ferry is now in a safe and satisfactory condition. Harrop-Long Beach Ferry.—The barge was hauled out during the fall of 1934 on the Canadian Pacific Railway Company's ways at Nelson and some of the timbers affected by dry-rot were replaced. It is possible that further repairs will be necessary before the condition of the barge can be considered to be satisfactory. Kootenay River Ferry.—Some damage was done to the housework on this ferry by fire last December; the housework has been rebuilt and the ferry is in good working condition. The ferry traffic in this area has increased rapidly during the last few years, due to the increased acreage brought under cultivation by the reclamation schemes in progress. The question of replacing the present ferry with a larger one or building a bridge across the Kootenay River at the ferry crossing should be given consideration when estimates are being considered for 1936-37. Sorrento-Scotch Creek Ferry.—A service of five round trips per day is maintained between the above points on Shuswap Lake by the M.S. " G. B. Wright." The hull and engines are in first-class condition. T 12 PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1934-35. Shuswap Lake Ferry.—This service was formerly undertaken with the S.S. " Whitesmith " under licence, whereby Messrs. White and Smith were paid an annual subsidy of $8,000. The licence expired in November, 1934, since which date a weekly trip between Sicamous and Seymour Arm and extending to Salmon Arm, Eagle Bay, and Anglemont on the main lake has been furnished under the supervision of this Department. Ferries Generally.—Overhauls and repairs to the hulls and engines of the power-ferries operated by the Department have been carried out with a minimum of interruption in the scheduled runs and the least possible inconvenience to the travelling public. Wherever possible a substitute ferry service has been supplied when it was necessary to withdraw the regular ferry from service to make repairs. All ferries which are operated subject to the provisions of the " Canada Shipping Act " have been inspected and certified by the Dominion Steamship Inspector. Respectfully submitted. J. Armstrong, Mechanical Superintendent. REPORT OF THE TRAFFIC SUPERINTENDENT. Attached hereto is a statement of public passenger- and freight-vehicle licences issued during the calendar year 1934; the total number of passenger licences in force as at December 31st, 1934, was 193, this being 3.76 per cent, more than the previous year; the number of freight-vehicle licences in force at the same date was 161, a decrease of 3 per cent. Licence fees collected during the calendar year of 1934 were as follows:— Licence-plate fees $886.00 Passenger licence fees 7,022.35 Freight licence fees 3,696.39 Total $11,604.74 During the calendar year 1934, 520 applications were considered and 444 licences issued. The mechanical inspection of public vehicles during the year was largely carried out by the Mechanical Inspection Department of the Provincial Police. The Department's Traffic Inspector's time has been fully occupied by investigations and weighing of vehicles at Spuzzum and in the Bridge River and Cariboo areas, as well as on the Lower Mainland and on Vancouver Island, for the purpose of checking up and preventing the overloading of motor-trucks as far as possible. The Department has again been greatly assisted by the co-operation of the Provincial Police in the enforcement of the " Highway Act " and. regulations thereunder, in so far as they relate to traffic. There were five prosecutions for violation of the provisions of Part V. of the " Highway Act." Thirteen meetings of the Advisory Board were held for the purpose of dealing with various applications for public carrier licences; in addition, the members of the Board attended a considerable number of special meetings held for the purpose of investigating complaints. The valuable assistance rendered by the members of this Board in the preparation of the draft of the amendments to Part V. of the " Highway Act" is gratefully recorded. Respectfully submitted. R. J.

ENGINEERING DISTRICT No. 1 (VANCOUVER ISLAND, THE ISLANDS, AND NORTH PART OF MACKENZIE ELECTORAL DISTRICTS). Report of District Engineer, H. L. Swan, Victoria. General.—The change of electoral district boundaries according to the redistribution in 1932 was made effective for the purposes of administration on April 1st, 1934. The most important result was the moving of the Comox District boundary southerly from Big Qualicum River to Craig's Crossing, thus transferring Parksville and Qualicum into the Comox District. The Alberni constituency was combined with that of Nanaimo into the Alberni-Nanaimo Electoral District, and the Ladysmith office was retained as the headquarters for the Cowichan-Newcastle and Alberni-Nanaimo Districts, including Gabriola Island, formerly in the Islands District, now in the Cowichan-Newcastle District. During the fiscal year 1933-34, Esquimalt, the Islands, and Saanich were combined with one district office, using for the purpose the office which was formerly the headquarters for the Saanich District. This allowed the offices at Langford and Sidney to be closed, resulting in a considerable saving in administrative costs. This change, having proved to be satisfac- T 14 PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1934-35. tory, was confirmed in April, 1934, by the appointment of an Assistant District Engineer, with headquarters at the Burnside office, in charge of the three districts. The southern portion of the Mackenzie District from Jervis Inlet south was, for convenience in administration, transferred to Engineering District No. 2. Storm Damage.—The winter of 1934-35 was remarkable for its severity, starting with a flood in the Bella Coola Valley in October, which reached a height greater than has been recorded during the past forty years, causing the flooding of the settlement of Hagensborg, and the loss of a bridge over the Bella Coola River and another over the Store Branch at Bella Coola, and damage to minor bridges and to several miles of road. This was followed by a heavy snowfall all over Vancouver Island in December and January; very low temperatures in the early part of January were succeeded by a particularly bad snow-storm on January 20th, which left from 1 to 4 feet of show on the Island Highway. On the night of the 20th a rise of approximately 20° in temperature and a warm rain caused acute flood conditions in the southerly districts. The flood did not abate until the 26th, on which date the rain stopped. Minor washouts were general and one of a serious character occurred at Mile 12 on the Island Highway (Goldstream). By noon of the 21st travel over the Malahat became impossible, two King-truss bridges being damaged beyond economical repair and 900 feet of road being washed out by the changing of the channel of the Goldstream. All up-island traffic was diverted by way of the Mill Bay Ferry, as the bridge across Wolf Creek on the Old Trunk Road near Kapoor was washed out. On January 24th it was necessary temporarily to close all highways in the Esquimalt and Cowichan Districts to vehicles weighing more than 2% tons gross. On January 25th work was started on a diversion at Goldstream and on February 14th the Malahat was opened to one-way traffic over the new diversion. At Port Renfrew approximately 1,000 feet of the highway traffic-bridge over the San Juan River was completely washed out, as also was the bridge at Jordan River. In the Northerly Districts of Alberni and Comox the snow was deeper and the thaw not quite so sudden; nevertheless, a severe flood occurred at the end of January and one span of the Condensory Bridge at Courtenay and two trestle bridges on the Sproat Lake Road were washed out, besides many minor washouts and general road damage throughout the districts. In the Cowichan District, at Duncan, the Cowichan River eroded the bank and washed out 900 feet of the Island Highway between Mile 41 and Mile 42. This washout was repaired during the fiscal year 1935-36 by hauling rock from Cassidy over a spur to the Esquimalt & Nanaimo Railway, built by the Department. The assistance and close co-operation of the officials of the railway company in connection with this work is gratefully acknowledged. Acknowledgment is made of the skill, loyalty, and sense of responsibility displayed by the men in the service of this Department during a period of trial such as, it is to be hoped, will not be experienced again. The winter storms have been dealt with at some length, as this overshadows in importance all the other work of the district and has had very important results by the relocation and reconstruction to modern standards of sections of the road which were damaged by the storm. Construction and Reconstruction—Island Highway.—At Mile 20 on the Malahat a very dangerous corner was improved by widening in rock. At Koksilah, Mile 40, Vz mile on the Island Highway was regraded and gravelled to improve the surface alignment. As this piece of road is a tangent paralleling the railway, the removal of the wavy surface has made an improvement which is very noticeable. At Mile 48.2 a culvert was replaced by a pile-trestle bridge to prevent flooding. Through the Oyster Bay Indian Reserve, Mile 63.5, work was continued by relief crews on the major diversion which it is expected will be finished during the fiscal year 1935-36. At Mile 66.0 a diversion of the South Wellington Cut-off to avoid the wavy section of this piece of road was continued. The increase in vehicle speeds is making it more apparent every year that a road which provided sufficiently smooth riding even five years ago may now be altogether unsatisfactory, and this condition is worse where the surface is well maintained, as it is difficult to see the humps and hollows. North of Nanaimo work was continued on the diversion at Mile 87, which will be completed during the fiscal year 1935-36. North of Courtenay, between Mile 150 and the end of the paving at Mile 154, special attention was paid to the condition of the shoulders and, by GOLDSTREAM DIVERSION, ISLAND HIGHWAY, MILE 12, OCTOBER, 1935.

This structure replaces the old bridge which was located farther up-stream and this relocation has resulted in a great improvement in alignment. DISTRICT REPORTS. T 15 heavy grading, additional road width was obtained, making a marked improvement to this section of the highway. Canadian Highway.—On the Canadian Highway a revision was constructed at Mile 128 and some minor improvements were made between Mile 114 and Mile 128. Other Roads.—On the Sooke Road a relocation was made at Mile 10.7 which eliminated a dangerous turn on a hill and raised the whole standard of this section of the road. On the West Coast Road the Department of National Defence completed 3 miles of road on a new location between Sooke and Muir Creek. On the West Saanich Road a crossing over the Col- quitz River, which was washed out in the storm, was replaced with a 6-foot concrete-arch culvert. In the Mackenzie District the principal work was the reconstruction and repair of the road damaged by the flood at Bella Coola and the construction of a short piece of brush; mattress as a temporary measure to protect the town of Hagensborg. This mattressing is being continued during the fiscal year 1935-36. On Texada Island 400 feet of the central road was widened, brushed, and graded, and two new culverts constructed. On Lasqueti Island over % mile of road was graded, stumped, gravelled, and generally improved. The Manson Bridge at Powell River was replaced with a cedar culvert and fill and the Wolfson Creek Bridge was rebuilt. On Saltspring Island some effective widening was done on the North End Road and the Scott Road was lengthened for a distance of approximately % mile. Ferries.—The Saltspring, Mill Bay, Gabriola, and Denman Island Ferries operated throughout the year without change and a temporary rowboat ferry was established across the Bella Coola River to serve the Saloomt area, which was cut off by the destruction of the Bella Coola River bridges. ENGINEERING DISTRICT No. 2 (BURNABY, DEWDNEY, NORTH VANCOUVER, VANCOUVER-POINT GREY, AND SOUTHERLY PART OF MACKENZIE ELECTORAL DISTRICTS). Report of District Engineer, E. H. Verner, Vancouver. Burnaby Electoral District. Maintenance of Roads.—The change in electoral district boundaries resulted in the addition of 20 miles of classified highways and 6 miles of other roads to this district; with the same District Vote appropriations available as in the previous fiscal year, the expenditures had necessarily to be distributed over a wider area; however, all roads were kept in good state of maintenance. Abnormal snowfalls, followed by floods, caused additional work, but the unique conditions were satisfactorily overcome. About 35 miles of main roads were kept open throughout the winter with snow-ploughing equipment. Bridges.—The principal work undertaken was the renewal of three 5-pile trestle bridges on the loco-Port Moody Road. The usual maintenance-work was carried out. Dewdney Electoral District. Maintenance.—With the inclusion of 72 miles of roads in unorganized territory and 16 miles of classified highways (exclusive of Hope Village) in the revised electoral district, the mileage of highways was increased one-third. The District Vote appropriations being the same as in the previous year, it was not possible to undertake as much work as desirable. Bituminous-surfaced highways were kept in good state of repair and gravelled main roads were continually maintained by grader. Surfacing.—A tar carpet coat 20 feet in width was laid on 5.3 miles of the Lougheed Highway (2lR and 22r), consisting of a priming coat at the rate of % gallon per square yard and a second coat at the rate of % gallon per square yard, with a cover-coat of torpedo gravel applied at the rate of 100 cubic yards per mile. This work was of considerable interest as the cost was actually less than the usual cost of maintaining this stretch of road when gravelled only, so that not only has the travelling public had the advantage of a dust-free surface in summer and a surface free from mud in the winter at no extra cost to the Department, but, after twelve months' continuous service under such improved conditions, this surface is in excellent condition and of great value as a base to receive a more permanent surface such as T 16 PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1934-35. a 2-inch asphaltic-mulch treatment. Tar, as a dust-layer, was applied on 2.3 miles of the Lougheed Highway (21r) at the rate of % gallon per square yard, but did not last very well and was therefore unsatisfactory as a dust-layer. Construction—Deroche-Agassiz Section of Trans-Provincial Highway.—Reconstruction- work under the Department of National Defence was continued satisfactorily on the Deroche- Agassiz section of the Trans-Provincial Highway. Two miles of highway were substantially improved by widening and straightening, much of the work comprising heavy rock excavation. The distance covered by this project is approximately 11 miles, from Deroche to the east end of Agassiz Mountain. Of this, 5.5 miles have been completed with the exception of 1.5 miles of surface-gravelling which is now in progress, the work consisting of a heavy rock-cut and a 60-foot tunnel through the highest point on Agassiz Mountain to eliminate 12 per cent, adverse gradients to a maximum 6 per cent.; on this good progress is being made. There still remains 2,000 feet involving heavy rock-work on the east slope of Agassiz Mountain; this is on a 10-per-cent. gradient and the road is quite narrow. It would appear too costly to eliminate this gradient, but if the road is widened to the standard width of 30 feet all traffic requirements would be met. A 229-foot trestle bridge has recently been completed over a deep gulch V2 mile east of Camp 226. The bridge is on an 8° curve, 1.5-per-cent. gradient, with super-elevation of 1 foot in 20 feet; this work completes the renewal of bridges on this section of the highway. On the west side of Agassiz Mountain there is still SA mile of major revision to be made; the present road, however, is quite good and this work is being left until all the other more essential work has been completed. The existing road across the Harrison Flats, which has three sharp turns, is also being left for the time being; there still remains approximately 3 miles on which considerable improvement can be made; this work can be carried out from Camp 203, Harrison Bay. Traffic has increased considerably during the past year and many favourable comments have been passed on the improved condition of the highway; with the completion of the paving, which is now well under way, the road will be of great benefit to the commercial and tourist traffic. The linking-up with Haig on the north side of the river would make this one of the most attractive highways on the Lower Mainland. Bridges.—With the exception of the redecking of the Dewdney Bridge, other bridge-work was confined to minor repairs and general maintenance. At the Pitt River Bridge the power- installation system was renewed. Flood Damage.—Snow and storm conditions were most unusual and called for extraordinary attention, involving greatly increased expenditures. Credit is due to the foremen in particular, and the operators of snow-removal equipment in general, for the splendid teamwork with which they met the abnormal situation. The phenomenal conditions called for long hours in severe weather. Approximately 100 miles of highways were snow-ploughed several times. Owing to the deep drifts it was found impracticable to keep the Deroche-Agassiz Highway open continually, and it was closed from January 11th to 13th and again from January 27th to February 3rd, ten days in all. North Vancouver Electoral District. Maintenance and Reconstruction.—General maintenance was carried out on all roads in the district. A considerable amount of surface-patching was done on Marine Drive, which was necessary owing to the increased traffic on this section. A 120-foot section of masonry guard-wall set in mortar was built at a dangerous curve at Caulfeild, also several sections of guard-fence at dangerous points. The increased traffic on Dollarton Highway necessitated constant maintenance of the gravel surface and a surface treatment is strongly recommended for this road. At Bowen Island 0.25 mile of the Trunk Road was oiled with good results, 1.2 miles of roads were reconstructed, and 2.9 miles gravelled. Bridges.—Eleven bridges were repaired. The steel structure over Capilano River was scraped and given three coats of aluminium paint, which is proving very satisfactory. Caulfeild Creek Bridge was converted to concrete culvert and fill. South Mackenzie Electoral District. Maintenance.—General maintenance was carried out on all roads in the district and the surfaces kept in good condition. A considerable amount of damage was done in different DISTRICT REPORTS. T 17 sections by the storm-water in January. One and nine-tenths miles of road, scattered in the various business sections, were sprayed with oil. Ditching and gravelling constituted the larger portion of work, which was mainly done by relief labour. Unemployment is still a grave matter in this district, and by far the largest proportion of our work is carried out by men on relief. Construction—Sechelt—Pender Harbour Road.—The only major construction-work carried out in this district was on the Sechelt-Pender Harbour Road at Camps 901 and 902 by the Department of National Defence, 1.6 miles being completed, in the construction of which the following quantities were handled: Solid rock, 10,172 cubic yards; loose rock, 1,731 cubic yards; earth, 2,075 cubic yards; also 3,491 lineal feet of cedar logs hewed and built into culverts and 3,000 cubic yards of gravel distributed. Reconstruction and widening was carried out, mainly by hand-labour, on several minor roads to the extent of 1.2 miles. Vancouver-Point Grey Electoral District. Maintenance.—General maintenance was carried out 'on all roads, Marine Drive and Imperial Street being slashed and cleared to the full width of right-of-way and ditches thoroughly overhauled. Improvements.—Major improvements were made on Marine Drive by widening and sloping at Spanish Banks, construction of 1,430 lineal feet of guard-fence, diversion of road at Musqueam Bridge to improve alignment, and installation of a concrete culvert and fill. University Endowment Lands.—During the storm period in January much damage was done; heavy slides occurred at Spanish Banks and large washouts occurred in front of the University Endowment Lands, disrupting the sewer system of that area and also doing great damage at Jordan Creek, where two bridges and a large quantity of material were washed out. This necessitated the installation of a temporary system which was very satisfactory. Work is still in progress of refilling the various ravines and installing a new sewer outfall. A small amount of work was carried out on Chancellor Boulevard extension by the Department of National Defence; the grounds at the University Hill School were partly levelled up, approximately 3,000 cubic yards of earth being moved. The usual maintenance was carried out at the University Endowment Lands, where the roads, sidewalks, and boulevards were kept in good repair. ENGINEERING DISTRICT No. 3 (DELTA, NEW WESTMINSTER, CHILLIWACK, AND PARTS OF YALE AND DEWDNEY ELECTORAL DISTRICTS). Report of District Engineer, H. C. Anderson, New Westminster. Delta Electoral District. Maintenance.—Up to the time of the exceptional snowfall in January, all roads in this district were generally maintained in good condition, notwithstanding the fact that appropriations had to cover an increased road mileage as a result of the extension of the boundaries of the district to include Richmond Municipality. The January storm, however, which was followed by unprecedented floods, necessitated extraordinary expenditures to restore washouts and damaged road-surfaces. The bituminous-surfaced highways withstood the floods without material damage to the road-beds. The portions of concrete pavement on the Pacific Highway which were raised last year by means of a " mud-jack " remained in their adjusted positions, and it is considered that the unqualified success of this work justifies its continuation, if possible, on a larger scale. Surfacing.—The principal work undertaken was the 2-inch asphaltic-mulch surfacing, by day-labour, of the twin road connections, each 18 feet wide, on the Peace Arch Highway from the Canadian Customs to the International Boundary on plans in conformity with the paved surface south of the boundary-line. Other work included construction of bituminous spray- coat, averaging 20 feet in width, on the 0.30-mile gravel portion of the Snake Hill on Scott Road and the 0.25-mile gravel portion of the Enderby Hill on Ladner Trunk Road; there is now a continuous hard-surfaced highway between New Westminster Bridge and Ladner, a distance of 16 miles. The road-bed of Fraser Avenue (Ref. No. 66r) was widened and materially improved by gravel surfacing by day-labour. T 18 PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1934-35. Construction.—Construction-work was continued on the Peace Arch Highway in the vicinity of Camps 205 and 206 as a relief measure under the Department of National Defence. This project is now in such a condition that, by the use of a small amount of machinery in place of hand-labour, the road could be completed between Campbell River Road and Elgin Road in a very short time, to the advantage of the travelling public. Work was also completed during the year by the Department of National Defence on the Aldergrove-Bellingham Highway, with the exception of some minor trimming and installation of culverts. Bridges.—The Indian Reserve Bridge on Campbell River Road (Ref. No. 90b) was renewed by contract, the cost being borne equally by the Provincial Government and the Municipality of Surrey. The new structure consists of eighteen 5-pile bents supporting a roadway 20 feet wide between guards; to improve the gradients of the approaches a vertical curve has been provided. Material improvements were undertaken by day-labour on the Eburne bridges at a total cost of approximately $13,000. The floor systems were entirely renewed and the decking bituminous-surfaced. Some temporary renewals were carried out on portions of the Canoe Pass Bridge. Complete reconstruction of most of this structure will shortly be imperative. It was necessary to drive some protection-piles at Haldi Island Bridge. Protection-work.—River-bank protection-work was carried out on the Fraser River at the Rice Mill, Lulu Island, in co-operation with the Federal Government and Richmond Municipality, each authority contributing one-third of the total cost. New Westminster Electoral District. The entire reconstruction and resurfacing of the a/_-mile stretch of Riverway through District Lot 172 was satisfactorily undertaken at a cost of approximately $4,400. In addition to the provision of more effective surface-water drainage, the road-bed was widened and flattened preparatory to laying by contract a pre-mixed asphaltic-macadam surface 2% inches compacted thickness and 18 feet wide at an approximate cost of 62 cents per square yard. The usual maintenance-work, chiefly by relief labour, was undertaken on the streets in District Lot 172. The abnormal floods severely tested the special drainage installed the previous year. Chilliwack Electoral District. Maintenance.—The extension of the boundaries of this district resulted in an increase of about 77 per cent, in road mileage and, consequently, it was not possible to undertake as much maintenance-work as desirable, but the roads were generally maintained in passable condition at a minimum of expenditure. The unusual floods, following the very heavy snowfalls in January, necessitated extensive repairs to the roads and bridges eroded or undermined and many roads were rendered unpassable for several days. The breaking of the Sumas Lake Dyke resulted in the flooding of the main highway for a distance of about 2 miles and Chilliwack was isolated for about a month. In addition to such renewals and repairs, 0.14 mile of bituminous spray-coat surface was laid on the Trans-Canada Highway (Ref. No. 6r) south of Abbotsford Village. Construction.—Very satisfactory progress was made by the Department of National Defence, from Camps 208 and 209, in the work of reconstruction of portions of the old Hope- Rosedale Road by realignment and regrading and by the construction of necessary diversions. The use of machinery supplied and maintained at the cost of the Province has assisted materially in the progress of the work. In addition, this road was improved elsewhere by widening, ditching, and renewal of gravel surface by the Provincial Government. Bridges.—Improvements were undertaken at the Vedder Canal Bridge; the two 150-foot- span Howe trusses were redecked and the approach trestles were renewed and shortened almost 600 feet by means of a substantial gravel-fill at each end. The entire deck was flush- coated with bitumen and torpedo gravel. Four of the old central bents in the Ferry Slough Bridge on the Rosedale Ferry Road were replaced by a 60-foot-span King truss. The pile trestle, 114 feet in length, over Lorenzetti Creek on Dent Road was entirely renewed. Several bridges were redecked and one bridge replaced by culvert and fill. All bridge-work was undertaken by day-labour. Ferry.—New Diesel engines were installed on the M.S. " Eena," which operates on the Agassiz-Rosedale run, under licence. DISTRICT REPORTS. T 19 River-protection.—The Vedder River presents a difficult problem annually; protection- work was again an urgent necessity and consisted of removal of driftwood debris, which was placed at chosen points and lashed in place as protection, a system which is satisfactory; no doubt the continuation of this type of work over a period of years will finally provide a fairly effective type of protection; in any case the removal of driftwood debris will be necessary every year for some time to come. East Portion of Dewdney Electoral District. Maintenance of the Hope-Rosedale Road and the roads in Hope and vicinity comprised the only road-work carried out by this Department's forces. Heavy snowfalls in this district resulted in the cessation of road traffic for several weeks, and credit is due to the local foremen and operators of equipment for the manner in which they endeavoured to cope with the abnormal conditions. The Hope-Yale section of the Trans-Canada Highway was improved in places as a relief measure under the Department of National Defence from Camp 346. Camp labour disturbances and exceptional winter weather account for the lack of progress on this project; up to the present time only hand-labour has been available and work has been chiefly confined to clearing of right-of-way. Construction of road-bed on the revised alignment will in the main comprise fairly heavy work and, to obviate waste at some points and borrow at other, a considerable amount of haulage will be involved. In order to make any marked progress on this job, equipment such as air-drills, power-shovel, and trucks will be required. Bridges.—The reconstruction by day-labour of the decking system of the Fraser River Bridge at Hope was undertaken. Assistance to the extent of about $550 was given the local settlers towards the construction of a cable-bridge, 170 feet between towers, at Othello. South Portion of Yale Electoral District. Construction of Hope-Princeton Road (West End).—The work, under the Department of National Defence, was between Mile 2.25 (Bridal Veil Falls) and Mile 8.6 (top of 10-Mile Hill) and was undertaken from three camps at Miles 4, 7, and 9 respectively. Approximately 3 miles were opened to traffic during the year; with the exception of a small portion above Camp 7, the new grade is in use from Camp 4 to the top of 10-Mile Hill. All work was tied up from the middle of December to the first of April owing to heavy snow. During the year 6 acres were cleared, 1.36 acres grubbed, and 33,447 cubic yards of material excavated. Cariboo Road.—The snow-ploughing equipment at Hope was utilized as far north as Boston Bar; extremely deep snow necessitated closing the road from January 20th to March 6th. General. The operation of the Government-owned garage at Cloverdale continues to be entirely satisfactory and economical. Several large equipment units, including some from other engineering districts, were overhauled. A rearrangement of duties of the office staff resulted in more efficient and economical administration; road registers and other office records were revised and brought up to date. During a winter of unprecedented weather, my assistants and local foremen rendered notable service under the most trying conditions. ENGINEERING DISTRICT No. 4 (YALE, KAMLOOPS, SALMON ARM, REVELSTOKE, NORTH AND SOUTH OKANAGAN, SIMILKAMEEN, AND GRAND FORKS- GREENWOOD ELECTORAL DISTRICTS). Report of District Engineer, R. M. Taylor, Kamloops. General.—The reorganization of the Department in April, 1934, resulted in the combination of the old Engineering Districts Nos. 3 and 4, to which was added Revelstoke Electoral District, which, previously, was part of the old Engineering District No. 5. During this year every effort was made, as far as funds would allow, to maintain the highways in good condition, but, owing to the volume of fast and heavy traffic, gravel roads became very badly " washboarded," a condition which cannot very well be rectified without T 20 PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1934-35. hard-surfacing, which, on main roads, is a vital necessity. In addition to maintenance-work financed from the District Vote, relief labour was also available and work was also done by settlers under special appropriation allotted for the purpose of allowing them to " work out" delinquent taxes. The majority of all construction, reconstruction, and improvement work in this district was performed by men from the relief camps. There were very heavy snowfalls during the months of January and February, requiring almost continuous snow-ploughing over a period of six weeks. Spring Chinook winds caused sudden thaws which occasioned much damage to the roads, especially in the Coalmont- Tulameen-Princeton area and in the Fraser Canyon, which was closed to traffic for some time. Yale Electoral District. Roads.—Maintenance-work on the Fraser Canyon section of the Trans-Canada Highway was financed from the District Vote and was done by the Department's forces, reconstruction and improvement on various sections was continued as relief work under the Department of National Defence, as well as similar operations between Merritt and Spences Bridge, between Merritt and Kamloops, and on the Merritt-Princeton Road. A start was made on the elimination of the heavy grade at Peterson Hill on the Princeton-Coalmont Road. Bridges.—The following bridges were renewed: Canford, Princeton Cut-off, Marshall, Otter No. 3, Otter No. 6, Voght Street (Nicola River), Rabbitt, Aspen Grove, MacKenzie, and Godey Creek. Kamloops Electoral District. Roads.—In addition to maintenance-work paid for out of the District Vote, some work was done by relief labour. Several revisions were constructed on the North Thompson Highway and several miles of road were gravelled. The Department of National Defence reopened Deadman Creek Camp in preparation for work on the Trans-Canada Highway between Savona and Ashcroft. Bridges.—The most important work was the renewal of the bridge over the North Thompson River at Barriere; the new bridge consists of two 180-foot-span Howe trusses of creosoted timber on creosoted pile piers. Several small bridges were also entirely renewed, including Eakins No. 2, Homestake, Louis Creek No. 1, and Sweedall. The usual maintenance and repairs were effected on bridges generally in the district. Salmon Arm Electoral District. Roads.—In addition to maintenance-work, for which purpose relief labour was available, preparation was made for future surfacing of main roads by ditching and other improvements. Work was continued, under the Department of National Defence, on construction of the Canoe- Sicamous Road and improvement of the Trans-Canada Highway at Tappen and at Sorrento. Much difficulty was experienced during the winter in keeping the roads open to traffic, on account of the heavy snowfall. Bridges and Ferries.—Bridges were maintained and three small bridges were reconstructed. The S.S. " Whitesmith," operating under licence as a ferry on the Shuswap Lake, was taken over and operated by the Government in November, 1934. The Scotch Creek- Sorrento Ferry landings were repaired. Revelstoke Electoral District. Roads.—All travelled roads were maintained and a considerable amount of ditching was done. Heavy snowfall and subsequent thaws caused a great deal of damage both to roads and to bridges, especially on the Revelstoke West Road. The Department of National Defence relief crews continued reconstruction-work on the latter road and on the Big Bend Highway north of Revelstoke. Bridges and Ferries.—Minor repairs were made to bridges and two new bridges were constructed on the Big Bend Highway; La Forme Creek Bridge on this highway was strengthened by the addition of extra bracing. Ferries were maintained and a new ferry was constructed at Sidmouth, 24 miles south of Revelstoke. DISTRICT REPORTS. T 21 North and South Okanagan Electoral Districts. Roads.—The usual maintenance-work was performed in these districts and relief labour was utilized to assist by way of gravelling, clearing ditches, and improving roadsides generally. The main roads were kept open during the winter by snow-ploughing. The Kelowna-West- bank Ferry maintained the regular operating schedule throughout the year. The Department of National Defence did some improvement-work, with relief crews, on the Eagle Pass Road and also widened a section of the Vernon-Kelowna Road along the length of Woods Lake; they also constructed about 1 mile of settlement road on the west side of Okanagan Lake. Similkameen Electoral District. Roads.—In addition to general maintenance-work which was carried out as effectively as funds would permit, a certain amount of road-improvement work was performed on the main highways between Hedley and Princeton and between Summerland and the International Boundary, in preparation for bituminous surfacing. The construction of the easterly section of the Princeton-Hope section of the Southern Trans-Provincial Highway was continued as a relief measure by the Department of National Defence, the pioneer road having been opened up to Mile 43 from Princeton by the end of the fiscal year; about 5 miles are completed to standard requirements. Grand Forks-Greenwood Electoral District. Roads and Bridges.—Road-work consisted of maintenance and a considerable amount of minor reconstruction, with some gravel surfacing and ditching, in preparation for bituminous surfacing. Some work was also done on mining roads and trails financed by appropriations from the Department of Mines. Work on bridges comprised general repairs to thirty-nine bridges and reconstruction of the following: Williamson, Upper and Lower; 9-Mile; Mill Creeks. ENGINEERING DISTRICT No. 5 (CRANBROOK, FERNIE, COLUMBIA, NELSON- CRESTON, KASLO-SLOCAN, AND ROSSLAND-TRAIL ELECTORAL DISTRICTS). Report of District Engineer, E. S. Jones, Cranbrook. Organization.—At the beginning of the fiscal year the change in organization resulted in the combination of the area covered by the old Engineering Districts Nos. 5 and 6 into one district, with the exception of Revelstoke Electoral District, which was transferred to Engineering District No. 4. Maintenance of Roads.—Very dry weather conditions rendered the carrying-out of the maintenance programme extremely difficult. The silty nature of the soil does not act as a binder between the gravel and the subgrade, with the result that the gravel is pushed off the road during the extreme dry weather. This condition is probably more noticeable in this district than in any other in the Province, and it is therefore apparent that hard-surfacing is necessary to give the motorists the type of surface which they are now demanding. Owing to lack of equipment, only a very small programme of reconstruction was carried out during the year, practically all this type of work being done by relief. Snow-ploughing operations were very heavy; the extremely cold weather rendered this operation very difficult, except for one week; the main roads were, however, kept open to traffic. Cranbrook Electoral District. Roads.—Important reconstruction-work took place on the Cranbrook-Kimberley Road in preparation for hard-surfacing; most of this work was carried on between Mark Creek and Kimberley. The hard-surfacing programme was started on this road when 1.5 miles of tar mulch with asphalt flush-coat were laid from Cranbrook north and 2.5 miles of asphalt mulch were laid from Marysville north. The work 5 miles north of Kingsgate (Project No. 60), under the Department of National Defence, was completed and the personnel from this project were moved to Goatfell, east; excellent work was done on both these projects. Reconstruction and gravelling were continued between Ta Ta Creek and Kimberley. T 22 PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1934-35. Bridges.—The renewal of Fort Steele Bridge constituted the most important bridge-work in this district. This structure consists of three 120-foot-span through Howe trusses, with 16-foot-wide roadway, on pile piers, with nine 19-foot bays of pile-trestle approach at the right bank and two 16-foot bays at the left bank; all piles, timber for trusses, and caps for piers and bents are creosoted. The work was done by day-labour. Columbia Electoral District. Reconstruction-work was undertaken on the Yoho Road by crews from the Provincial relief camp and some good work in widening was accomplished. Near Windermere, a 1-mile diversion of the Kootenay-Columbia Highway was completed. Maintenance on all roads was carried out during the summer season. The Department of National Defence established a relief camp at Canal Flats for the purpose of reducing the heavy gradient of the existing hill and widening the road generally. Fernie Electoral District. Roads.—An important diversion of the Southern Trans-Provincial Highway at Jaffray was started under the Provincial relief-camp system; this diversion should be completed next year. A considerable amount of gravelling and widening was done between Elko and Fernie. Under the Department of National Defence, progress was made on the reconstruction of the Southern Trans-Provincial Highway between the Alberta Boundary and Michel. The work on the diversion at Roosville, however, did not progress very favourably, owing to lack of men and equipment. One-half mile of tar flush-coat was laid in Michel and in Natal; the elimination of the dust at both these points was greatly appreciated. Bridges.—The new Michel Bridge was completed. This bridge is on a new location and the whole project is a great improvement over the old bridge and old location. Nelson-Creston Electoral District. Roads.—Excellent work was accomplished from the Provincial relief camp at Sirdar, widening having been done at several dangerous points; the men from this camp, since its commencement, have done some very valuable work. The majority of the road machinery in this district was on loan to the Department of National Defence, who are carrying out some very important road projects as a part of the scheme for relief. Diversions were commenced east and west of Goatfell and at Kitchener; although these projects are far from completed, the work which has been done is good. Only slight progress was made on the diversion of the Southern Trans-Provincial Highway at Longbeach (east of Nelson), but it is expected that this project will be completed next year. Progress was made on the Nelson-Nelway Road from the Nelway Camp (Project No. 65), where most of the equipment referred to is stationed. During the season 17,600 cubic yards of gravel were laid down by this Department's forces. Work was continued on the Gray Creek-Crawford Bay section of the Southern Trans- Provincial Highway under Provincial relief; the progress was, however, slow. It is desirable that every effort be made to finish this project, as its completion will be necessary before the Kootenay Lake ferry route can be shortened. Ferry.—Extensive alterations were carried out to the S.S. " Nasookin," operating on the Kootenay Lake ferry run, one deck being eliminated and the entire vessel painted. With these alterations, thirty cars can now be taken on the one trip. Rossland-Trail Electoral District. Roads.—Reconstruction-work of some importance was carried out on the Castlegar-Trail section of the Southern Trans-Provincial Highway, both by the relief crews under the Department of National Defence and by the Department's own forces; 1.3 miles of asphaltic mulch and 2.8 miles of double spray-coat were laid. DISTRICT REPORTS. T 23 Bridges.—During the year the Castlegar-Trail Bridges Nos. 1 and 3 were renewed. Bridge No. 1 consisted of a 35-foot steel I-beam span on pile piers and one 19-foot timber span and six 15-foot bays of pile-trestle approach; construction for Bridge No. 3 was one 39-foot steel I-beam span on pile piers with four 17-foot bays of pile-trestle approach. The roadway was 18 feet wide in each case. These spans are considered to be a marked improvement over the King-truss type. Work was started on the Castlegar-Trail Bridge No. 7. Kaslo-Slocan Electoral District. Thirteen miles of new gravel surface were laid during the season and 9 miles of existing gravel surface were renewed. Five miles of highway were reconstructed. Extensive repairs were carried out on the Sandon Flume. Further work will be necessary on this project next year. River-bank protection was also carried out on Carpenter Creek at New Denver. ENGINEERING DISTRICT No. 6 (LILLOOET AND CARIBOO ELECTORAL DISTRICTS). Report of District Engineer, W. Ramsay, Williams Lake. Maintenance of Highways.—Maintenance-work, to the extent of funds available, was chiefly confined to the more heavily travelled roads, although the needs of settlers were not neglected. The main highways were generally maintained in fair condition, and it was possible, during October and the early part of November, to give these roads a final grading for the season, so that they were in good shape for the winter. Every effort was made during the fiscal year to ensure that unemployment relief was kept on a " work basis " and those on relief throughout the district are working in return for relief received. The results which have been accomplished in this way are now becoming evident in several parts of the district where widening, ditching, and gravelling has been done on this basis. Snow-removal.—In spite of abnormal snowfall, 940 miles of highway were kept open during the winter months. Much difficulty was experienced on the Barkerville and Bridge River Roads; the former was open practically all through the winter, but the Bridge River Road was closed for about nine days in January, following a heavy thaw which brought down slides on 8% miles of road. Removal of snow from the road-beds during the winter was beneficial in the spring, as the roads were dry while the snow was still melting on either side. Improvements and Reconstruction.—Improvements consisting of reduction of gradient and curvature were carried out in various sections of the Engineering District, but more particularly on Barkerville, Bridge River, and Cariboo Roads. On Barkerville Road the work consisted of widening and reduction of gradient through Devil's Canyon, while at Cottonwood approximately % mile of road was raised to be clear of flooding due to ice-jams in the river. On both projects gas-shovel and trucks were used. The remainder of the road was well ditched and graded, additional culverts being put in where necessary. On Bridge River Road most of the widening was done on the upper end between Goldbridge and the Pioneer Mine, and this widened section was afterwards gravelled. Power-shovel and trucks handled both operations. On the Cariboo Road a very necessary diversion was completed at Mile 83, where the alignment was greatly improved and the maximum gradient reduced from 16 per cent, to 8 per cent. In the whole of the Engineering District a large programme of gravelling was undertaken, consisting of 48 miles of new gravel and 32 miles of gravel renewal. National Defence Projects.—Project No. 88, between Spences Bridge and Ashcroft, was in operation from April 1st to September 30th, on which date the camps on this project were closed; 8.5 miles of highway were widened, ditched, and resurfaced in places, and rock retain- ing-walls and timber cribbing were built where necessary. Work on Project No. 117, being construction of the Squamish-Britannia Road, did not show the progress that was expected, due in some measure to unrest and dissatisfaction amongst the men. At the present time it is not possible to make connection between Squamish T 24 PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1934-35. and the camp, pending construction of fills and a bridge over Manus River. From the end of the proposed fill a considerable amount of grading has been done for more than 1 mile to the camp-site and some right-of-way is cleared beyond the camp. Bridges.—Bridges were examined and necessary repairs made in accordance with the recommendations of the Bridge Engineer. Rods and bolts in truss spans were tightened where necessary. In North Cariboo, one 60-foot-span King truss,was built as a replacement over Soda Creek, and in South Cariboo one pile-trestle structure, 153 feet long, was constructed over Williams Lake Creek. A start was made on the construction of a new Howe-truss span on concrete abutments over Cottonwood Creek, to replace the structure which was washed out by flood. River-bank Protection.—Necessary work was undertaken at several points on the Lillooet River in the Pemberton Meadows area, and on the Cheakamus and Mamquam Rivers in the Squamish area. This work included rock and brush mattressing and the removal of log-jams and snags from the channels, the work being very successful at each point. Ferries.—Spring overhaul and reconditioning of pontoons, when essential, was carried out on all ferries and these continued to give satisfactory service to the travelling public. Equipment-sheds.—Standard one-bay equipment-sheds were built at Devil's Canyon and Barkerville on the Barkerville Road, also at Mission Mountain and Goldbridge on the Bridge River Road, for the housing and efficient care of snow-removal equipment and proved to be of great assistance. Extraordinary Flood Damage.—The district as a whole suffered from the storms of January, but more particularly in the Bridge River and Barkerville areas, where drifts, snow- slides, and ice-jams combined to make it very difficult to keep the roads open for traffic. ENGINEERING DISTRICT No. 7 (PRINCE RUPERT, ATLIN, SKEENA, AND OMINECA ELECTORAL DISTRICTS). Report of District Engineer, J. C. Brady, Prince Rupert. General.—The rigid economy and curtailment of expenditures was continued as in the previous year. Some changes were made in organization for the sake of economy—Atlin District as a whole now being administered without the services of a General Foreman, and Omineca District being added to Engineering District No. 7, with an office established at Vanderhoof. Maintenance of Highways and Bridges.—Relief labour continued to be used as much as possible for this class of work and, on the whole, satisfactory results were obtained. North Atlin and Telegraph Creek had only a slight amount of relief labour as compared to other parts of the Engineering District. Floods, though not as bad as in the previous year, caused some concern in Omineca and Skeena Districts, and repairs were necessary to Clearwater Road in the Atlin District. Slides were removed by gas-shovel on the Telkwa Coal Mine Road—it being important to assist this industry in the transportation of coal to the railway shipping-point. Terrace Bridge over the Skeena River was entirely refloored, as was also the Bulkley River Bridge on the road from Old Hazelton to the railway-station. The Kitsequekla Bridge was redecked and a new pier put in. The bridge over the Bulkley River at Quick was redecked. Bighorn Bridge in the North Atlin section was repaired and strengthened, as was also the South Fork Bridge near Telegraph Creek and a bridge on Teslin Trail. Highway Construction and Improvements.—A considerable amount of work was done this year on the Northern Trans-Provincial Highway; 5 miles in the vicinity of Barrett's ranch were regraded to a width of 24 feet, properly ditched, and culverts installed; 3 miles between Savory and Priestly were regraded to a width of 24 feet; 10 miles between Vanderhoof and the eastern boundary of Omineca District were regraded; 2 miles of reconstruction was undertaken just east of Vanderhoof, the clearing having been done and fills constructed in preparation for grading. A small diversion at Smithers Hill was made to improve alignment. At the Prince Rupert end, % mile of new construction was finished in linking up previously constructed portions between Mile 7 and Cloyah Bay; this was heavy work of solid DISTRICT REPORTS. T 25 rock alternating with muskeg. In addition to the new work, a considerable amount of repair and reconstruction work had to be done to the previously constructed part on account of slides, sloughing away of fills, and filling-up of culverts since they were originally built. On the Vanderhoof-Stuart Lake Road, 5 miles in the vicinity of Stuart Lake were reconstructed to a width of 30 feet. This was well ditched and road-level built to a height of 2 feet above ditches. Fifteen culverts were put in this section, with off-take ditches at each. In the vicinity of Charles NicholFs on this same road, % mile was reconstructed on revised location with improved alignment. On the Fort St. James—Manson Creek Road culverts and fills were put in in many places between Miles 17 and 40. In the vicinity of Baldy Mountain several side-cuts were made and corduroy put in. On the North Francois Lake Road several narrow and dangerous places were widened and improved. On the Burns Lake-Babine Road approximately 5 miles of right-of-way were cut 45 feet wide, and stumps blown out for a width of 20 feet. On the Queen Charlotte Islands, the Masset-Tow Hill Road was extended for % mile from Alfred Charles's place, where it formerly branched to the beach. This road is well built, with plank running-boards flush with the ground, similar to the remainder of the road extending out from Masset. Branching to the beach at this point avoids the dangerous beach section where cars were continually being stalled. It is recommended that this road be continued in progressive stages for a distance of 3% miles, so that, eventually, beach travel will be entirely avoided. A new portion of Harrison Avenue was opened up in Masset. On the road from Port Clements to Queen Charlotte City, improvements were made, notably in widening some of the rock points between Skidegate and Queen Charlotte City. On the Spruce Creek Road in North Atlin, a diversion was made at Pini Hill to avoid a very steep rise, or hummock, which formerly was dangerous in icy weather. Assistance was given to a mining company in constructing a road north-easterly from Surprise Lake. At Telegraph Creek a lane was opened up to give access to dwellings. Extensive repairs were made to the Big Missouri Road, an extension or branch of the Premier Mine Road, on account of new development in that area—the road having remained practically unused for years. The Bear River Road was extended about % mile in the vicinity of American Creek. Bridges Constructed and Reconstructed.—Delkatla Slough Bridge was completed. It is 969 feet long with fill approaches and cost $9.52% per lineal foot, being of pile-trestle construction and cedar throughout. The piles were creosoted, except those beyond reach of teredo. Barge Creek Bridge, near Queen Charlotte City, and Oona River Bridge, at the fishing village of that name, were reconstructed. Cranberry River Bridge in the Upper Nass Valley was rebuilt, having gone in the flood the previous year. Casca Bridge at Telegraph Creek was reconstructed. Plans were made for renewing Necoslie Bridge and the work commenced; the strengthening of the spans of the Nechako Bridge at Vanderhoof by tower reinforcement was undertaken. Ferries.—Construction of a new 5-ton ferry was commenced at Usk. The marine ways for the Francois Lake Ferry were repaired and the track lined up. A general overhaul was given to the ferry. Braeside Ferry was moved to Fort Fraser to replace the old one there, the traffic at Braeside now only requiring a rowboat. Recommendations were made for a new ferry at Finmoore, where traffic has increased on account of the tie industry, the old ferry at this point being now in bad condition. Unemployment Relief.—The arrangements made for Omineca District were very successful—the relief recipients being worked steadily for certain periods, and part of their relief money retained to be paid them in monthly instalments during the winter. Effective road- work was done by this means. Throughout the Engineering District generally, work was done by all those receiving relief and little or no trouble was experienced. In the Omineca District, farmers receiving assistance from the Lands Department were looked after by the Public Works Department, and their supplies requisitioned for them. In Omineca, Skeena, and Queen Charlotte Islands, quite a number of farmers took advantage of the opportunity to work off their taxes. T 26 PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1934-35. Machinery and Plant.—Additional snow-ploughing equipment was supplied for Skeena, Atlin, and Omineca Districts. Trucks are in great demand for the class of work now being done, as they fit in with relief labour—not only for transportation of men, but for work on the job, principally gravelling. A new truck was purchased for Terrace and one for Burns Lake. Surfacing.—On the Northern Trans-Provincial Highway, 15 miles were regravelled, and 5% miles newly gravelled in Omineca District, and a great deal of patch-gravelling was done in the Skeena section. At the Prince Rupert end the new piece recently constructed for about Vz mile was surfaced with crushed rock, there being no gravel within economical hauling distance. The cost of importing gravel at the bins would be $1.75 per cubic yard by contract. Careful figures were kept on costs, and rock was delivered at the bin ready for crushing for $1.71 per cubic yard. On the Fort St. James-Manson Creek Road, a considerable amount of gravelling was done between Miles 17 and 40. Gravelling was done on the North Francois Lake Road. On the Port Clements-Queen Charlotte City Road, 1% miles were gravelled near Tlell and patch- gravelling was done in other places. Several stretches of the Fourth of July Road in North Atlin were gravelled. Snow-removal.—The Trans-Provincial Highway was kept open during the greater part of the winter, but in Omineca District portions were closed for a period of ten days at a time, as the equipment, or the power handling it, was too light to move the heavy drifts. This also applies to the road from Burns Lake to Francois Lake. The Vanderhoof-Stuart Lake Road was only closed for a few days. In Skeena District, 225 miles of road were kept open during the winter. The cost per mile of road kept open was $8.06. In Atlin District, 24.78 miles were kept open at a cost of $85 per mile. On Queen Charlotte Islands occurred the heaviest snowfall in years. As it was unprecedented, we had no equipment to cope with it, but every assistance was rendered by the Department in helping traffic. Surveys.—A reconnaissance survey was made from Manson Creek to Finlay Forks. The Burns Lake-Babine Road was surveyed with a view to ascertaining the cost of improvements and for acquiring right-of-way through the Indian reserve near Burns Lake. A survey was made from Cloyah Bay to Prudhomme Lake and valuable information obtained as to reduction in cost of construction in this section. A survey and complete plan were made of the Prince Rupert water-front in connection with a proposed exchange of certain lands belonging to the Canadian National Railway and the Provincial Government. A reconnaissance survey and plan were made in the Unuk River area, showing proposed route of trail from the International Boundary to mining properties. A great deal of information was gathered and a plan prepared showing the roads in a large area of Omineca District. Numerous other surveys were made. Trails.—A foot-trail up Mount Oldfield to the Ski Chalet, surveyed in the previous year, was built; 5% miles of the Unuk River Trail was built, leaving about 10 to 15 miles still to be done—according to requirements of mining development. Trails and footpaths on Porcher Island, Digby Island, and to Salt Lakes were repaired and improved, mostly by relief labour. The trail up the east coast of Graham Island from Tlell was repaired and some small bridges put in. About 2Vz miles of new trail were built from the end of Dunroe's Road, to give access to settlers on Kumdis Island. This was done mostly by relief labour and is of exceptional benefit to these settlers. Repairs were made to the trail from Cumshewa Inlet to the west coast of Moresby Island. A great deal of work was done on trails generally, through the aid of the Mines Department. Protection-work.—Repairs to the protection of Pleasant Valley Bridge near Houston were started; this protects the Trans-Provincial Highway as well as the bridge and consists of a pile wall and a section of concrete slabs. The pile wall had become weakened by reason of the bank washing out behind; this is to be filled with brush. Conditions at the mouth of the Bear River at Stewart were investigated, in company with the Dominion Government Assistant District Engineer. Some temporary work was done here DISTRICT REPORTS. T 27 by throwing down trees to prevent further immediate erosion, and a report submitted on the whole situation. Buildings and Wharf.—The corridors of Prince Rupert Court-house were all redecorated and the radiators gilded. The Government Agents' offices, the police offices, and the main office of the Public Works Department were redecorated and the furniture varnished. The Government Wharf buildings were repainted. A new pipe-line was installed to the Government Wharf, in conjunction with the City of Prince Rupert, to give adequate fire- protection and to improve the water-supply to the ships. Thirty-six new fender piles were put in the wharf—all fender piles have now been renewed in the last two years. The warehouse that formerly was located at Cow Bay was torn down and re-erected at a very suitable location on First Avenue near the Court-house. Repairs and alterations were made to Government Agents' buildings at Atlin Lake, Telegraph Creek, Stewart, and Anyox. A cellar was dug under the warehouse at Burns Lake and an improvised furnace installed. Many minor jobs were done to other buildings, such as lockups, liquor stores, and to the Government Agent's house at Prince Rupert. ENGINEERING SUB-DISTRICT No. 7a (FORT GEORGE ELECTORAL DISTRICT). Report of Assistant District Engineer, J. W. Miers, Prince George. Maintenance of Highways.—Owing to an early break-up and a dry April, it was possible to get the main roads in good condition somewhat earlier than usual and to maintain them in that condition until freeze-up, notwithstanding an extremely wet fall. A considerable mileage of main and trunk roads was regravelled with a light coat of screened gravel. Maintenance on the less important roads was carried out chiefly with relief labour. Highway Reconstruction—Cariboo Highway.—On the Prince George-Woodpecker section, 3% miles were regraded to a wider standard and regravelled, and at Stone Creek and Camp Creek short sections were reconstructed on improved alignment to eliminate blind curves. Fort George-Hazelton Highway.—Approximately 7 miles of this highway were gravelled, thus making a continuous gravel surface through the district. Fort George-Yellowhead Highway.—A 4-mile section was graded between Small River and Tete Jaune. Fort George-Chief Lake Highway.—Six miles of this highway were gravelled and more than 2 miles regravelled. Other Highways.—Four miles of new gravelling and SVz miles of regravelling was done by sleigh-haul during the winter in the Pineview District, and similar work was done on a smaller scale in several parts of the district, particularly at McBride and Dunster. Bridges and Culverts.—During the spring freshet the Salmon River, overflowing its banks, washed out the road at the east approach of No. 105, Salmon River Bridge, and threatened to cut a new channel. A new approach has been built which acts as a dyke to prevent further overflowing. Heavy scour at the west pier necessitated the construction of a rock-loaded mattress which has proved very effective in preventing further scour. The Hudson Bay Slough (Queen Street) Bridge (No. 55), which was built in 1914, was replaced by four bays pile trestle and 14,000 cubic yards of fill on much improved alignment. The old 30-inch concrete culvert at 11-Mile Fill on the Cariboo Road, 11 miles south of Prince George, washed out and was replaced by a double 36-inch concrete-pipe culvert, 112 feet. It was necessary to drive a double tunnel in order to install this culvert. This work was done by day-labour by an experienced CN. Railway culvert crew. On the Cariboo Highway south, Red Rock Bridge was renewed on improved alignment and several other structures were redecked and strengthened. The 30-Mile Trestle, commenced last year, was completed. Ferries.—The usual service was provided at Isle Pierre, Miworth, Shelley, and Croydon Ferries, and some minor repairs were made to the ferries at Isle Pierre and Shelley. Garage.—A new garage, 50 by 70 feet, of frame construction on a concrete foundation, was built in Prince George and completed except for the floor, which is to be of concrete. The doors of this garage are 15 feet wide and 12 feet high to enable easy access of large equipment and, as the roof is of Howe-truss construction, the floor is clear of any obstructions. T 28 PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1934-35. Snow-removal—The combination of a heavy snowfall and high winds made it much more difficult than usual to keep the roads open and in some instances it was necessary to shovel out the drifts. The Cariboo Road was kept open except for a few hours after the January storm, but in order to do so it was necessary to operate day and night at temperatures as low as 54" below zero. The new Baker V. plough proved an efficient unit, but in heavy going it was found necessary to use an auxiliary tractor; by doing so it was possible to plough 4 feet or more of packed snow. ENGINEERING DISTRICT No. 8 (PEACE RIVER ELECTORAL DISTRICT). Report of District Engineer, H. L. Hayne, Pouce Coupe. Roads.—Maintenance-work was carried out early in the season, but rains in the month of May necessitated doing much of this work a second time. An appropriation of $15,000 was allotted to this district to provide work for farmers not on relief, and this sum, together with relief labour, was utilized in carrying out gravelling, ditching, and improvement-work; gravelling was done on the Saskatoon Hill and on the hill into Pouce Coupe; this work was followed by three more extensive projects—namely, from Pouce Coupe to Dawson Creek, a distance of 7 miles, from Rolla towards the railway, and from Taylor Ferry to the top of the Peace Trench; altogether about 11% miles of gravel were laid; a considerable amount of ditching and widening of main roads was also done, but progress on the work was somewhat retarded by a wet and early fall. Owing to the inability to put men to work during the winter in this district, a considerable amount of " back relief labour " had accumulated; two gravelling camps were organized and this "back relief labour" was utilized in conjunction with the loan; at one time more than 100 teams were employed on these gravelling projects and 90 per cent, of the labour was worked out. Where it was not practicable to place relief workers in camps, projects were started in several sub-districts, and a total of 16.8 miles of unimproved trails were brought up to standard section and many minor improvements were made to existing roads. Bridges.—Many small trestle spans were renewed; the pile foundations of the " High Level Bridge " near Pouce Coupe started to slide and these were resurfaced with new piling. Ferries.—All ferries were maintained and kept in operation, but it was found that the tug at Taylor Flats did not have sufficient power to operate the new ferry-scow installed during the previous year; when the water in the river was high it was necessary to employ an additional launch, which added considerably to the cost of operation. This difficulty has now been remedied by the installation of launch V-51, which was shipped in from Revelstoke during the fiscal year 1935-36. CARIBOO ROAD—TRAFFIC.
