EEPOET OF THE MINISTER OF PUBLIC WORKS OF THE PROVINCE OF BRITISH COLUMBIA FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 193637 PRINTED BY AUTHORITY OF THE LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY. VICTORIA, B.C. : Printed by Chahles F. Banfield, Printer to the King's Most Excellent Majesty. 1937. PROVINCIAL LIBRARY VICTORIA. B.C. To His Honour Eric Werge Hamber, Lieutenant-Governor of the Province of British Columbia. May it please Your Honour: Herewith I beg respectfully to submit the Annual Report of my Department for the fiscal year ended March 31st, 1937, in compliance with the provisions of the " Public Works Act." F. M. MacPHERSON, Minister of Public Works. Office of the Minister of Public Works, Parliament Buildings, October tfh, 1937. PUBLIC WORKS REPORT. REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER. Parliament Buildings, Victoria, B.C., September 16th, 1937. Hon F. M. MacPherson, Minister of Public Works, Victoria, B.C. SIR,—I have the honour to submit the following report on the work and activities of the Department of Public Works during the fiscal year 1936-37:— GENERAL OUTLINE OF WORK. Following the extensive programme of highway surfacing and improvement effected during the previous year, a survey of existing main highways was undertaken and a selection was made of those portions which, it was considered, were most in need of improvement or reconstruction, prior to bituminous surfacing, as a continuation of the plan under which it is hoped eventually to surface all main travelled routes. The stage had now been reached where improvement or reconstruction, prior to surfacing, assumed more importance than actual surfacing, having regard to the policy of this Department to defer surfacing until the road-bed has been brought to standard in width, gradient, and alignment. CLOSING OF DEPARTMENT OF NATIONAL DEFENCE CAMPS. During the month of June, the Department of National Defence closed down the camps which, for three years, had been operated by that Department for the relief of single homeless men on highway-work, and it was therefore possible to arrange the year's work on a normal basis, either by contract or by day-labour, under the direct control of officials of this Department. After some six years' experience of carrying out work purely as a relief measure, though considerable progress was made, naturally from the point of view of " getting results," this method is not so satisfactory as the normal way of letting the work by contract or by using day-labour experienced in highway-construction. DOMINION-PROVINCIAL WORKS AGREEMENTS. While the situation as to employment had improved to a considerable extent, the necessity of further public works for the stimulation of employment and industry was fully recognized, and, accordingly, agreements were entered into with the Dominion Government under the Dominion " Unemployment Relief and Assistance Act, 1936," providing for contributions from the Federal Government towards the cost of undertaking construction and improvement work on certain scheduled projects, expenditures to the extent of $2,150,000 being provided for, of which the Dominion Government's share was $1,150,000, being 50 per cent, of ordinary road projects and 66% per cent, of mining-road projects. The agreement dated July 9th, 1936, provided for the expenditure of not more than one and one-half million dollars, on a 50-50 basis, for construction and improvement of main highways, sixteen different projects in all, and for the expenditure of $450,000 on mining roads and trails " for the purpose of assisting in the provision of ways or aids to transportation into mining areas." Actual expenditures during the fiscal year were $1,432,633 and $361,845 respectively. An agreement dated June 27th, 1936, was made with the Dominion Government whereby the latter assumed one-half of the cost of construction, improvement, and hard-surfacing the road from Kingsgate to Radium during a period of three years, in order to encourage and stimulate tourist traffic from the western section of the U.S.A. through British Columbia to the National Parks of Banff, Yoho, and Kootenay. An expenditure of $200,000 was provided for during the year 1936 under this agreement. X 4 PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1936-37. A condition of the foregoing agreements was that at least 50 per cent, of those employed should be selected from persons in receipt of relief at date of agreement or from other needy persons in the district, and that fair wages should be paid; the maximum number of hours of work per day and per week was stipulated. During the fiscal year, under these agreements, an average of 1,713 persons per month over a period of over eight months received employment, of whom more than 50 per cent, were " relief recipients," and a total of 215,034 man-days' employment was afforded. During October 3,573 men were so employed. A statement of the various works carried out is given, showing project numbers and the progress made on each job. By arrangement with the Dominion Government, it was made possible for works which were not completed by March 31st, 1937, to be continued thereafter during the fiscal year 1937-38, under a new agreement. It is gratifying to report that the scheme was most successful and a great deal of valuable improvement was accomplished. RELIEF OF SINGLE HOMELESS MEN. A large number of single men migrate to the Pacific Coast each winter to take advantage of the comparatively mild climate; many of these men are in want and it was necessary to provide for their subsistence. Accordingly, an agreement, dated November 16th, 1936, was entered into by the Department of Labour for an equal division by the Dominion Government and the Province of the cost of certain highway-construction projects under the direction of this Department, the personnel employed on these works to be single homeless unemployed men over the age of 16 years. Under this scheme 3,359 men were given relief on highway projects; up to May 31st, 1937, a total of 111,287 man-days' relief were given for an expenditure of $465,537.35, which, of course, includes the necessary materials and other expenses, and of which sum $302,890 was expended during the fiscal year 1936-37. The men received $2.40 per day for an eight-hour day, less 75 cents for board; deductions were made at the rate of $4 per week until each man had accumulated a sufficient sum for his maintenance when unemployed, after which he was discharged and thereafter received his credits at the rate of $4 per week. The task of sending out the weekly cheques was formidable, but was successfully accomplished under arrangements made by the Accounting Branch of this Department. The following highway projects were included in the latter scheme:— Project. Location. S. 104 West Coast Road (Otter Point Camp). S. 203, S. 226, S.227 Lougheed Highway (Dewdney District). S. 208 Trans-Canada Highway—Jones Hill revision (Chilliwack District). S. 329 Spences Bridge-Merritt Road (Clapperton Camp). S. 338 Lytton-Lillooet Road (Lytton Camp). S. 901, S. 902 Sechelt-Pender Harbour Road. S. 903 Squamish-Britannia Road (Shannon Bay). S. 200 Essondale—clearing grounds around Mental Hospital. S. 221 Allco Camp—clearing grounds and erecting hospital for relief cases. HIGHWAY-CONSTRUCTION. Progress was made on the Hope-Princeton route by extending the pilot-road as far as Allison Pass. The Prince Rupert Highway was extended easterly to Taylor Lake a distance of 1.02 miles, there remaining 1 mile to construct in order to open this highway to Prudhomme Lake. SURFACING. A total of 61 miles of new bituminous surfacing was undertaken, including nearly 16 miles on the Southern Trans-Provincial Highway and over 13 miles on Deroche-Agassiz section of the Lougheed Highway, the latter completing the surfacing of this road for the entire distance of 65 miles between Vancouver and Agassiz Flats. The general surfacing programme was less extensive than during the previous year on account of the necessity of concentrating on preparation for surfacing by improvement, construction of diversions, realignment, and improving the drainage, the latter receiving special attention. , /" f ■■Mi REPORT OF CHIEF ENGINEER. X 5 CONTRACTS. Accompanying this report is a list of tenders received and contracts awarded. The number of jobs advertised was high, even when compared with the years prior to the economic depression. Although the individual amounts of each job were, on the average, small, the total of accepted tenders for highway-work amounted to $1,314,700, contracts being awarded to thirteen different firms. It may be mentioned here that, in all cases, highway contracts were let on a unit-price basis, the " amount of tender " being based on estimated quantities and that the actual amount paid (based on units of work performed) would in no case be the same amount as the " amount of tender " referred to. WORK PERFORMED—HIGHWAYS. The following is a summary of highway construction and reconstruction, etc., performed during the year:— Class of Highway-work. Trunk and Main Highways. Other Roads. Total. New construction (including diversions) _ .Miles. 26 272 Miles. 108 232 Miles. 134 504 143 291 81 Accompanying this report is a tabulation showing major highway projects in progress or undertaken during the year, including mining-road projects, and the progress made, arranged by electoral districts. For further details, reference may be made to the district reports. MAINTENANCE OF ROADS, BRIDGES, FERRIES. Total expenditure from what is termed " District Vote " for the maintenance and minor betterment of roads, bridges, and ferries, including maintenance of paved highways, amounted to $1,774,848 (exclusive of bituminous surfacing), as compared with $1,339,025 during the previous year. As in past years, work of maintenance and minor betterment was also done by men in return for direct relief, where this could be organized on an economical basis, 77 per cent, of the total expenditures being " worked out " in this way. FLOODS. During the last week of May and the first week of June, 1936, extensive floods occurred in the Skeena District, resulting in some losses, which have been made good. Details are given in the report for Engineering District No. 7. The Fraser River freshet was the highest since 1894; this is dealt with in reports for Engineering Districts Nos. 2 and 3 and in the report of the Bridge Engineer. SNOW-REMOVAL! Generally speaking, snowfall was heavy and in some districts snow-removal was continuous over a long period. Taking the Province as a whole, 7,955 miles of roads were kept open by snow-ploughing, involving a total of 86,430 snow-plough miles at an average cost of $23.46 per mile kept open, of which $14.13 was for operation, wages, and supplies. The average cost per " snow-plough mile " was $2.16, being the average cost of ploughing 1 mile of road once. During the previous year, 6,787 miles of road were ploughed at an average cost of $15.40 per mile kept open and $2.40 per " snow-plough mile." Experiments were made in the use of snow-fences, generally with good results. HIGHWAY SIGNS. The standard for warning-signs was revised during the year; accompanying this report is a facsimile of the drawing showing the designs adopted which, generally, is in keeping with the practice of the Western Provinces of Canada and the American Standards Association, with some modifications to suit the needs and means of the Province. X 6 PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1936-37. A policy was adopted of gradual replacement of existing signs by signs of the new type during a period of three or four years, prior attention to be given to hard-surfaced portions of trunk and main highways, and it was further decided to adopt the use of metal signs in place of wood, the latter being insufficiently durable. Towards the end of the year an order was placed for 3,700 metal signs for delivery in the early summer of the fiscal year 1937-38. ROAD MILEAGE. Elsewhere in this report will be found the usual statement of mileage and type of construction of Provincial highways. The total of 20,171 miles shows an increase of 147 miles over the previous year; this increase is not necessarily all due to new construction. District officials periodically revise their road registers and adjustments are necessary from time to time, as, for instance, when a trail is converted into a road. It will be noted that the Provincial highway system includes 517 miles of municipal highways, classified as arterial, primary, or secondary. The total mileage may be classified as follows:— Miles. Trunk and main highways 6,087 Local roads 5,458 Settlement, industrial, and mining roads 8,626 Total.. 20,171 In addition, there are 10,041 miles of trails on the registers, of which 5,567 miles are classed as mining-trails. MINING-ROADS. Work under this heading was more extensive than usual, largely on account of the special agreement with the Dominion Government, referred to previously, providing for the improvement of transportation facilities to mining areas. Total expenditures were $361,845 under the Dominion-Provincial Works Agreement and $37,694 from Vote 119, " Aids to Mining Roads and Trails." BRIDGES. This subject is fully covered in the report of the Bridge Engineer and in the district reports; a tabulation is attached showing the major work carried out in bridge construction and reconstruction. FERRIES. A tabulation is attached showing the traffic carried by all the more important ferries. The following comparison is of interest, showing trend in traffic:— Records of Traffic for Five Important Ferries. Name of Ferry. Total Number op Vehicles carried. 1930-31. 1932-33. 1934-35. 1936-37. 60,194 34,755 39,642 36,808 80,144 51,266 33,080 48,328 30,644 104,491 54,305 38,033 52,155 24,296 97,984 80,227 46,075 56,821 24,816 110,425 Totals _ 251,543 267,809 266,773 318,364 There is also attached a tabulation showing traffic over the Cariboo Road (Fraser Canyon section) during seven months of 1935 and 1936, respectively; this statement shows an increase of 16 per cent, in 1936 traffic as compared with 1935 traffic. MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT. The report of the Mechanical Superintendent is attached and shows that the general improvement in condition of machinery and equipment, referred to last year, has been maintained and that the condition of machinery is good. CLASSIFICATION OF HIGHWAYS (PART III., "HIGHWAY ACT"). Attached is a statement showing all municipal highways classified as arterial, primary, and secondary, respectively, under Part III. of the " Highway Act," as at September 30th, 1937. The totals as at March 31st, 1937, were as follows:— Miles. Classified as arterial 310.78 Classified as primary 58.86 Classified as secondary 147.59 Total 517.23 During the year the following changes were made: In Surrey Municipality, the new approach-road to the traffic-bridge under construction over the Fraser River was classified as arterial, and, in the same connection, the route of Scott Road was changed and similarly classified, the latter to be reclassified as primary after construction of same. The main highway through the Village of Pouce Coupe was classified as arterial. Baker Road, in Maple Ridge Municipality, was classified as a secondary highway for a distance of 2.51 miles. The classification as a secondary highway of " No. 19 " Road, Reference No. 70s, in Richmond Municipality, was rescinded. HIGHWAY TRAFFIC. Following this report is a statement showing that a total of 7,832 carriers' licences were issued under Part V. of the " Highway Act " during the licence-year 1936, this being the first full year of operation since the Act was revised in 1935. During the 1935 licence-year only 1,672 licences were issued. It was found necessary to modify the regulations under Part V. of the Act, and this was done, the most important of the amendments being the exemption from the Act of all vehicles operated exclusively in the Electoral Districts of Fort George, Peace River, Omineca, Atlin, Skeena, Prince Rupert, and that portion of Mackenzie Electoral District lying north of the 50th parallel of latitude, and the exemption of all freight- vehicles from the necessity of having to take out insurance. Included in the amendments was provision for issuing permits covering certain operations of an infrequent nature. Generally speaking, the regulations, as they now stand, are satisfactory and are workable. There were many difficulties to be overcome in the administration of this Part of the " Highway Act " during the year; definite progress was made, however, especially towards the end of the year. GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS. The report of the Chief Architect, attached hereto, outlines the activities of the Architectural Branch of the Department. It is gratifying to note that the exteriors of the public buildings are now in more satisfactory condition. MISCELLANEOUS. On January 1st the Manual of Instructions for use of officials of the Department, which had been under preparation during the previous twelve months, was duly issued. The binding and indexing of paragraphs is of such a nature that any section can be revised without disturbing the remainder of the book, and such that every section is capable of almost unlimited expansion as and when required, thus saving the expense of frequent reprinting. It is believed that the publication of this Manual will greatly assist in standardizing practice throughout the Department. During the year the work of revising the standard specifications for " highway-construction " was undertaken and was nearing completion at the end of the year. Correspondence comprised 48,661 inward and outward letters, being an increase of 14 per cent, over the previous year. All accounting for unemployment relief continued to be done by the Accounting staff of the Public Works Department. In conclusion, it gives me great pleasure to place on record the loyalty and efficiency of the various officials of this Department and to commend the high standard of their work. All of which is respectfully submitted. A. DIXON, Chief Engineer. REPORT OF THE CHIEF ARCHITECT. Construction.—The new Tuberculosis Wing addition to the Vancouver General Hospital was opened by His Honour the Lieutenant-Governor on October 29th. I am pleased to report that this unit has proved very satisfactory to the medical staff. Schools.—The following schools were designed and the construction carried out by the Department: North Saanich High School; additional class-rooms and auditorium for University Heights School, Vancouver; auditorium and manual-arts rooms for school at Abbotsford. Hospitals.—Preliminary plans have been made by this Branch for an addition to the Vancouver General Hospital. The sketch-plans for the Nurses' Home for 575 nurses have been completed, and work is now proceeding on plans for the large 500-bed Acute Unit joining the Maternity and Private Ward Pavilions, Shops Buildings, etc. As part of the programme for relief of single unemployed homeless men, a small hospital unit was erected at Allco Camp; these men also did useful work at the Mental Hospital, Essondale, on grading, etc. Repairs and Maintenance.—With appropriations available from Relief Funds to supplement general repair and maintenance votes, it has been possible to accomplish satisfactory maintenance and repair work on the various public buildings, and it is now intended, as far as possible, to concentrate on maintenance of the exterior of the buildings, for their protection. Owing to the large number of patients in the institutions, particularly the Mental Hospitals, and the taking-over of the Home for the Aged, the tradesmen staffs in these institutions are taxed to the limit in order to cope with the work, and some further assistance in some trades will therefore be needed. I wish to take this opportunity of thanking you, the various District Engineers, our own office and tradesmen staff for the kindly co-operation and assistance rendered to me from time to time. Hy. Whittaker, Chief Architect. REPORT OF BRIDGE ENGINEER. I have the honour to report upon the work of the Bridge Department for the fiscal year 1936-37 as follows:— The return of more prosperous conditions resulted in a further increase in the volume and weight of vehicles, and particularly of heavy trucks and tractors. This increase was widespread throughout the Province, heavy traffic occurring in some cases on roads which had seen little traffic in years. Not only was it necessary, therefore, to carry out extensive reinforcement and repairs on main road bridges, but also on those on some of the secondary roads. Only such structures as had become quite inadequate or unsafe for traffic were renewed. The following major structures were rebuilt: Kamloops East Bridge at Kamloops, Barriere River Bridge at Barriere, Copper River Slough Bridge near Copper City, and Goldstream Bridge on the Island Highway. In addition, a number of minor bridges were renewed, more particularly those on highway projects involving the reconstruction and improvement of existing main roads. Two quite important railway-grade separations involving overhead bridges were carried out—namely, over the Canadian Pacific Railway at Haig near Hope, B.C., in the Dewdney District, and over the Canadian National Railway near Kelowna, B.C., in the South Okanagan District. As has been stated in previous reports, a large measure of economy can be realized simply by increasing the life of structures. This resolves itself into building and maintaining them in a manner so that rot in timber and corrosion in steel are delayed and prevented. This policy has been steadily pursued, more attention being constantly given to the factors that promote rot and corrosion. As far as practicable, timber is being creosoted and steel is being carefully painted and repainted as required. REPORT OF MECHANICAL SUPERINTENDENT. X 9 The principal bridge in course of construction during the year was the Fraser River Bridge at New Westminster. The extraordinary freshet in June, 1936, and the ice conditions in February, 1937, largely increased the hazard and delay on this very important project. Even under normal conditions, the construction of the river piers would have presented quite serious difficulties. By March 31st, 1937, the major problems were in course of being solved, and at the time of writing this report (September, 1937) all the substructure-work has been satisfactorily completed and superstructure-work well in hand. The contractors are to be congratulated on the near completion of a very difficult project. Several reaction ferries were due for renewal, but in view of conditions it was necessary to repair and continue to operate them for another year. More than ordinary care had to be taken during the 1936 freshet. Officials are to be commended for the fact that not a single ferry was wrecked or even seriously damaged during the year. A fair amount of river-bank protection and regulation work was carried out. The freshet, strangely enough, passed without the usual damage resulting. In some cases channels were somewhat improved due to the streams straightening themselves out and removing log-jams out of the main channels. The cost of materials continued to rise and increased sharply towards the end of the fiscal year. Trained men in and near to the larger cities and towns became scarce. It is quite noticeable that the younger men are giving evidence of a willingness to render good service on structural work. It is a pleasure to record again the painstaking efforts and efficiency of the whole staff. A. L. Carruthers, Bridge Engineer. REPORT OF THE MECHANICAL SUPERINTENDENT. INSPECTION OF EQUIPMENT AND MACHINERY. The general improvement in the condition of equipment and machinery throughout the Province remarked in last report, as a result of improved garage and repair-shop equipment, more efficient organization and supervision of equipment operators in the field, and repair- work in the shops, was, on the whole, well maintained during 1936-37. The condition of the equipment generally is good. In districts where hard-surfacing of highways has been undertaken, such equipment as crawler-type tractors, bulldozers, and other units for maintenance purposes will naturally become obsolete and will require to be replaced with modern pneumatic-tired equipment for trimming shoulders, ditches, and banks. Three truck-type snow-ploughs were purchased last winter, and although they were mounted on ordinary dump-trucks with rear-wheel drive, they demonstrated superiority as to speed and efficiency over tractor-mounted ploughs, except where heavy drifts were encountered. The equipment and machinery in every district in the Province was inspected during the fiscal year 1936-37; in all, over 2,000 separate units were inspected and reported on. The following new units were purchased: 12 trucks, 7 autos, 1 Diesel tractor, 1 road-builder, 3 snow-ploughs, and 1 set of truck-scales. In addition, much useful equipment was added in garages and repair-shops. An inventory of road machinery and plant, together with statement of valuation of plant, tools, and supplies, are attached. EQUIPMENT-SHEDS AND REPAIR-SHOPS. Sheds used for storing equipment at Enderby were totally destroyed by fire in January, 1937. The repair-shop at Prince George was completed and fairly well equipped in the fall of 1936; with this exception, there is no change in the situation since last report. POWER-FERRIES. The undernoted power-ferries were inspected and reported on: Kelowna-Westbank, Francois Lake, 12-Mile, Sorrento-Scotch Creek, Agassiz, Rosedale, Castlegar, 24-Mile, Shuswap Lake, Nelson, Ladner-Woodward, Harrop-Longbeach, Taylor Flats, Kootenay Lake, Needles-Fauquier, and Creston. X 10 PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1936-37. All ferries operated subject to the provisions of the " Canada Shipping Act " have been inspected and certified by the Dominion Steamship Inspector, and in every case overhauls and repairs to hulls and machinery were effected with the least possible interruption to schedule and the convenience of the travelling public. A new scow was built for the Nelson Ferry and launched in November, 1936; the machinery from the old ferry was transferred and installed in the new scow, which was put into commission on November 19th, 1936. The scows of the Creston and Harrop-Longbeach Ferries are due for replacement next fiscal year. J. W. Armstrong, Mechanical Superintendent. REPORT OF THE SURFACING ENGINEER.

Maintenance was done on all bituminous-surfaced roads in a generally satisfactory manner. It is again necessary to stress the need for greater attention to detail in the preparation of roads for surfacing, not only in the actual construction of road-bed and drainage-work, but in maintaining gravel road-surfaces continuously until the bituminous surface is applied; this is particularly necessary where spray-coat work is to be done, as neglect of maintenance, resulting in pot-holes, causes a condition which cannot be effectively remedied immediately ahead of the bituminous spray, and which the spray application will not cure. W. P. Beavan, Surfacing Engineer. DISTRICT REPORTS. ENGINEERING DISTRICT No. 1 (VANCOUVER ISLAND, THE ISLANDS, AND NORTHERLY PART OF MACKENZIE ELECTORAL DISTRICTS). District Engineer, H. L. Swan, Victoria. General.—During the fiscal year there was a further improvement throughout the district in the employment conditions. In one electoral district this amounted to a reduction of approximately 30 per cent., as against a 20-per-cent. reduction during the last fiscal year. In the Duncan and Alberni areas this improvement in the relief situation has been marked, there being few relief recipients available for road-work. .... ., W^WWl :W W; ^ W WW ■■;::::-Wu;; ■■■:; WW l: WW'mW.:; u Northern Trans-Provincial Highway.

X 11 The winter of 1936-37 was remarkable for the heavy snowfall and the length of time which this remained on the ground. Fortunately the thaw was slow, as on the Malahat, for instance, packed snow 4% feet in depth was taken away by the gradual thaw without creating flood conditions. In the Islands District snow-ploughing was carried on steadily from early in January until the last week in February, and snow-ploughs travelled 1,418 miles in this district. This is an unusual condition for the Islands District. The Comox District was most seriously affected by the snowfall and it was necessary to hire local equipment to cope with the situation, which was the most difficult ever encountered in that district. Forty-three and three-tenths miles of bituminous resurfacing and major renewals was done on existing roads in the district during the year. This represents 12 per cent, of the total bituminous surfacing in the district. Alberni-Nanaimo Electoral District. On the Canadian Highway between Hilliers and Alberni the Dog Creek Project, commenced last year as a Provincial Government Relief Project, was continued as part of the Dominion-Provincial Works Agreement under contract. Under the same agreement, 8 miles of the main road between Long Beach and Tofino was ditched and graded. In conjunction with the Dominion Government, work was done on the development and improvement of mining-trails to the following extent: Sproat and Kennedy Lake-Wreck Bay Trail, 12 miles along the north side of Sproat Lake, 8 miles of the 21 miles from Taylor River to Kennedy River, and on the 4 miles from Ucluelet-Tofino Road to Kennedy Lake. Other trails built and improved under the same appropriation in this district were the trail from the head of Zeballos Arm at tide-water for a distance of 2 miles and the Dash Creek Trail near Nanaimo Lakes. Comox Electoral District. A contract was let under the Dominion-Provincial Works Agreement for the revision of % mile of the Island Highway south of Campbell River and 2.2 miles at Buckley Bay. The Campbell River section was completed and put into service in January, but the Buckley Bay section was not finished at the end of the fiscal year. In addition to this, 2 miles of the Island Highway were prepared for hard-surfacing from the end of the mulch surface, Mile 169, towards Campbell River. Mining-trail work was done in conjunction with the Dominion Government on the Campbell Lake-Buttle Lake Trail for approximately 11 miles. Cowichan-Newcastle Electoral District. The important revision of the Island Highway through the Indian reserve at Oyster Harbour, north of Ladysmith, was completed. The Youbou Road was widened and improved, and the highway at Cowichan Bay was widened, this work being done as a part of the Dominion-Provincial Works Agreement. A contract was also let and completed for the reconstruction of 2.82 miles of the Cowichan Lake Road. Mining-trail work was done in conjunction with the Dominion Government on the Arrow- smith-Cowichan Lake Trail and the Cowichan Lake-Chemainus River Trail. Esquimalt Electoral District. The improvement at Goldstream on the Island Highway, completed during the last fiscal year, was continued from Mile 12 northerly for a distance of 4.6 miles, under contract. This section of the highway was entirely reconstructed by widening and improvement to standard width; 15,000 feet of standard guard-rail were erected with very satisfactory results, both in the efficiency and general appearance of the road. The Goldstream Bridge over the Island Highway, formerly a 50-foot King truss, was replaced with a steel I-beam span on concrete abutments with a reinforced-concrete floor, giving improved alignment. The Helmcken Bridge was reconstructed. The section of the West Coast Road between Sooke and Tugwell Creek was widened to standard width, shoulders levelled, slopes trimmed, ditches cleaned out, and 1.62 miles of the same road were built under contract to complete this road between Jordan River and Sooke. Mining-trail work was done in conjunction with the Dominion Government on the Koksilah River Road for a distance of 6 miles and on the trail from Leechtown for 6 miles. X 12 PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1936-37. The Mill Bay Ferry was kept very busy during the time that the Malahat was completely closed to traffic on account of the reconstruction of the existing surface on the contract section, Mileage 12 to 16. Islands Electoral District. The Walters Bridge on the Beddis Road and the. Crusher Bridge on the Fulford Road were both replaced by culverts, the fill material being obtained by widening and improving the road. Mackenzie Electoral District (Northerly Part). In the Mackenzie District 3 miles of new road were constructed at various points throughout the district in addition to minor reconstructions and ordinary maintenance-work. A serious flood occurred in this district at Bella Coola in November which was a departure from the usual flood conditions in the valley, in that a great deal of road-damage took place along the upper reaches of the river. The Malaspina Bridge near Powell River was rebuilt. Saanich Electoral District. In the Saanich District the widening of shoulders was continued, approximately 3 miles being finished during the year. ENGINEERING DISTRICT No. 2 (BURNABY, DEWDNEY, NORTH VANCOUVER, VANCOUVER-POINT GREY, AND SOUTHERLY PART OF MACKENZIE ELECTORAL DISTRICTS). District Engineer, E. H. Verner, Vancouver. Burnaby Electoral District. In the middle of August a contract was let under the Dominion-Provincial Works Agreement for the reconstruction of a portion of the Dewdney Trunk Road 19r in the City of Port Moody. This improvement has been very successful. Snow fell intermittently during all of January and the first half of February, necessitating continuous snow-removal during this entire period. Dewdney Electoral District. During the first three months of the year, good work was accomplished by Camps 203, 226, and 227 on Project No. 74, Deroche to Agassiz section of Lougheed Highway, until the camps were closed down by the Department of National Defence. The second quarter of the year opened with rising water in the Fraser River. This reached a maximum on June 5th, when 22 feet 6 inches was registered on the Mission gauge. This height was equalled in 1903 and surpassed only by the flood of 1894, when the Mission gauge registered 25 feet 9 inches. The Nicomen Island Dyke at several points was in grave danger, but a large force of men working night and day sandbagged the weak points and prevented a break. On the Hatzic Peninsula the private dyke proved inadequate. The area was completely flooded and crops were entirely wiped out. All settlers and stock had to be removed from this district until the water subsided, which took several weeks. Road-damage here was extensive. At Harrison Mills the private dyke also proved inadequate and the whole district was flooded and traffic on the Lougheed Highway 26r was interrupted for eight days. All settlers and stock sought refuge on the high ground at the toe of Agassiz Mountain. The road-damage here was not heavy. In the Agassiz District the flood was of short duration, but the road-damage was very great. Lougheed Highway 26r (Ferry Road) was cut in five places. The worst of these was about 90 feet across and had an average depth of 8 feet. Traffic to the ferry was opened by detouring over municipal roads, which required only minor repairs. The five gaps washed out by the flood on Lougheed Highway 26r (Ferry Road) were quickly restored to traffic by filling and surfacing with gravel. Considerable extension to the Fraser River bank-protection was carried out south of Maria Slough, and eleven pile groynes were added to this work, the results of which have been most gratifying. DISTRICT REPORTS. X 13 In the middle of August a contract under the Dominion-Provincial Works Agreement was let for raising the Agassiz Flats section of the Lougheed Highway 26r. This gave a general elevation of about 18 inches above the old road and, surfaced with crushed gravel, has proven an excellent highway improvement. Bituminous surfacing was done by contract on the Deroche-Agassiz section of the Lougheed Highway and a black surface has been completed for 13 miles east of Deroche. This gives a continuous hard surface from Vancouver to Agassiz Flats, a distance of 65 miles. Between Christmas and the New Year, Camps 203, 226, and 227 were occupied by single homeless men, who were employed ditching and installing culverts and widening on Agassiz Mountain, which entailed heavy rock-work. A number of men were necessarily employed in snow-removal, due to the snowfall which began early in January and continued intermittently until the middle of February. The worst condition prevailed from Deroche eastward, where continuous heavy winds caused serious drifts at many points. Drifts up to 10 feet deep had to be removed from the roads in the Agassiz District. Two snow-ploughs were continuously employed on the work, in addition to a large number of men from Camps 203, 226, and 227. The main highway from Pitt River Bridge to Agassiz was open to traffic throughout the snow conditions, with the exception of one day and a half. Mackenzie Electoral District (Southerly Part). New construction to the extent of 3.4 miles was completed during the year; 2.1 miles being done by relief-camp labour and 1.3 miles by local labour. For the first three months of the year the camps were operated under the Department of National Defence, finishing up the Sechelt-Pender Harbour Road between Halfmoon Bay and Pender Harbour. In January the camps reopened under Provincial control. The Sechelt-Pender Harbour Road was continued around the head of the harbour and 1.8 miles constructed. Between Halfmoon Bay and Northwest Bay reconstruction which included widening and eliminating excessive gradients was carried out on 1.3 miles. In the Gibsons Landing and Sechelt areas 1.3 miles of local and settlers' roads were constructed and 3.3 miles reconstructed. This work was carried out mainly by local relief labour and a large percentage of it was by hand-labour. In this section 2.3 miles of new gravel were laid down and 4 miles of renewal on various roads throughout the district. Six bridges were reconstructed and nine repaired. Mission Creek Bridge No. 2 was reconstructed to conform to the alignment of the road—the ends of the approaches were raised and the truss lowered, which now ensures good vision. Ditching and draining received special attention, as this class of work lent itself better to hand-labour, especially local relief-work. As a dust-preventive, 2 miles of road scattered in the various business sections were sprayed with bitumen. J North Vancouver Electoral District. No new construction was carried out this year. On the Dollarton Highway 2.74 miles were double flush-coated and is giving satisfactory service. In the unorganized territory four bridges were repaired. On Marine Drive 67a, Rodgers and Sherman Creek Bridges, which were converted to culverts and fills last year, had the irregularities of the fill trued up with pre-mix and flush-coated, also the guard-rails painted. Vancouver-Point Grey Electoral District. No new road-construction was undertaken during the year. Protection-work was carried out along Spanish Banks for 2,000 feet. A series of rock groynes were built along the foreshore and filled between with 65,253 cubic yards of sand. Washouts along the face of the excavation, due to abnormal water content, gave considerable trouble, necessitating ditching, field-tile draining, and pipe culverts. A cedar box flume was built in the ditch for a distance of 3,541 feet to prevent erosion of the sand by the run-off; 1,271 lineal feet of 18-inch half- round creosoted wood-stave flume were installed between the Leferre fill and the wireless station, as seepage from this ditch created a menace to the adjoining property during heavy run-offs. X 14 PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1936-37. On Marine Drive No. 3, 1 mile of bituminous mulch surface was laid, 2 inches thick. Marine Drive No. 3 and Twenty-ninth Avenue each received 2,000 square yards of bituminous flush-coating. Considerable ditching was done and four concrete culverts installed to replace old log structures. ENGINEERING DISTRICT No. 3 (DELTA, CHILLIWACK, NEW WESTMINSTER, AND PORTIONS OF DEWDNEY AND YALE ELECTORAL DISTRICTS). District Engineer, H. C. Anderson, New Westminster. New Westminster Electoral District. The major work was the continued construction of the new highway traffic bridge, the northerly half and New Westminster City approaches lying in this district. Maintenance- work was confined to the road system in District Lot 172, which was generally carried out by relief labour. Delta Electoral District. The Pacific and Trans-Canada Highways were for the first time marked with a continuous yellow centre line. This work was much appreciated by the travelling public, being particularly helpful during the foggy season. A prolonged season of snowfall made it necessary to keep snow-removal equipment in service for the most part twenty-four hours per day, seven days per week, for a period of about six weeks. The pavements were kept clear at all times, traffic moving without the assistance of chains. Construction.—To provide adequate approaches for the south approach to the new Fraser River Bridge at New Westminster, grading operations were started for the revised Scott Road approach and widening of the Pacific Highway approach in accordance with surveys carried out during the latter part of the fiscal year 1935-36. Some progress was made on the Peace Arch Highway between Campbell River Road and Elgin from April until the end of June by Department of National Defence forces operating from Camps 205 and 206. Surfacing.—Johnston Road (89b) : 0.30 mile of mulch was laid in vicinity of Bear Creek. The work was undertaken by Surrey Municipality, the Department paying half the cost under the Secondary Classification Agreement. Bridge Street and Westminster Avenue (87b) : 0.52 mile of mulch (18 feet wide) was laid between Delta Street and Ladner Marsh Road. Such improvements arranged with the Delta Municipality under the Secondary Highway Agreement are of considerable benefit to the increasing traffic via the Ladner Ferry. Bridges.—Work on bridges was confined to general repairs and the usual operation of the Eburne, Fraser Avenue, and Canoe Pass Bridges, all of which have draw-spans requiring considerable attention, especially in the case of the Eburne Bridge, which opens about 400 to 500 times a month. Ferries.—While the Ladner-Woodward Ferry was satisfactorily operated daily throughout the year, on several occasions some trips had to be cancelled on account of sand-bars (in June), fog (in November), and ice (in January). With the painting of the hull and other improvements, the ferry-boat " Agassiz," under charter, is in serviceable condition. Barnston Island Ferry has provided a generally satisfactory service. During the sever© weather last winter it was possible to maintain a daily schedule except on February 18th, when the movement of ice in Parsons Channel caused the suspension of all services. Chilliwack Electoral District. The usual maintenance was carried out on all main arteries. Less frost-damage had to be contended with than for several years. Construction.—A very satisfactory construction programme was undertaken during the year, some extensive improvements being made to the main highway system, both by contract and day-labour. The work was carried out under the Dominion-Provincial Works Agreement. DISTRICT REPORTS. X 15 On the Trans-Canada Highway, east of Rosedale, Project No. 1, 4.24 miles of the old road were entirely reconstructed by contract on an improved grade and alignment, the roadbed being constructed to a width of 38 feet. Adjoining the contract section on the east, 4.58 miles were reconstructed by day-labour forces with departmental equipment, on the same standards as the contract-work. On the Mission-Huntingdon Highway, Project No. 9, reconstruction of the Abbotsford-Clayburn section was undertaken by contract. With the exception of 0.18 mile, which is on an entirely new location, the old road was reconstructed. The grade and alignment were greatly improved adjacent to Abbotsford. Under the Department of National Defence, with the use of departmental equipment, during the period from April to June 30th, operating Camps 208 and 209, considerable improvement was made to the Trans-Canada Highway between Jones Hill and Jones Creek. During the latter part of December, to provide work for single unemployed homeless men, Jones Hill Camp No. 208 was again reopened and the construction on the east side of Jones Hill was completed, involving the removal of about 7,000 cubic yards of solid rock. This work completed the reconstruction of the Cheam-Jones Creek section. On the completion of the Jones Hill work, the forces were employed in finishing and trimming all slopes and ditches. Snow-removal.—A prolonged period of snowfall, with occasional high winds in the Chilliwack area, causing severe drifting conditions, kept the district's entire snow-removal equipment in operation night and day for the best part of six weeks. With the exception of a few hours, the main highway was kept open at all times. For the first time snow-fences were used to combat drift conditions, with exceptionally good results. A wire and lath fence was used, strung along iron posts, made from 20-lb. railway-steel, guyed at various points to give the required support. As an experiment fencing was used on only a few of the worst points, resulting in its being possible to keep sections clear which ordinarily were impassable for days and could only be reopened by the use of heavy tractor equipment. At the end of the season the fencing was taken down, dipped in creosote, and stored away in rolls for future use. Bridges.—The bridge at Cheam, having a span of 40 feet, with a reinforced-concrete deck supported by steel I-beams, with a roadway-width of 24 feet, was completed. This structure replaced two wooden bridges, all the water being confined to one channel by the construction of a new waterway. The work was done by day-labour. Trestle Bridge No. 40-3 over Cheam Creek was replaced with a cedar pile trestle 222 feet in length, with an average height of 30 feet, roadway-width of 22 feet 8 inches. A 60- foot span, King truss, was placed in the Ferry Slough Bridge on the Rosedale Ferry Road to replace a portion of trestle taken out by the spring freshets. Several small pile structures of Department standard design were constructed in connection with the Federal Aid Projects. All wooden bridge floors on the Trans-Canada Highway were given a bituminous wearing surface. Ferries.—Owing to extreme high water during the first portion of June, 1936, and on account of severe ice conditions, January 27th to March 1st, 1937 (the longest tie-up on record), the Agassiz-Rosedale Ferry was compelled to discontinue operations. At the Rosedale Winter Landing it was necessary to replace by more substantial dolphins those destroyed by the Fraser River ice. River-bank Protection.—In conjunction with the Federal and municipal authorities, further remedial work was carried out on the Fraser River in the vicinity of Rosedale. This work was interrupted temporarily by the spring freshets of the Fraser, which reached the high level of 22 feet 6 inches on the Mission gauge, the highest since 1894. Dewdney Electoral District (Eastern Section). Roads.—Before the closing of the Department of National Defence Camp No. 347 at American Creek, about 1.75 miles of the Hope-Yale section of the Trans-Canada Highway were regraded and gravelled. Under the Dominion-Provincial Works Agreement, Project No. 1, approximately 2 miles of this road were entirely reconstructed by contract on greatly improved alignment and grade, which, for the most part, was through solid rock. Another important improvement was the diversion of this highway to permit of the construction of an overhead crossing of the Canadian Pacific Railway at Haig. The grading of the approaches for this crossing was commenced by contract in December, 1936, and completed during the year. The bridge structure itself was, however, uncompleted at the end of the fiscal year. X 16 PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1936-37. Bridges.—In the reconstruction of the Hope-Yale Road, the Schkam Creek Bridge was built, by contract, alongside the old structure. It comprises four bays of frame trestle at 17-foot centres. Apart from its importance as eliminating a Canadian Pacific Railway grade crossing at Haig, the overhead structure, now almost completed, contains several unique construction features. The bridge is constructed on a 14-degree curve and consists of a preframed creosoted timber double-deck trestle on concrete foundations. The over-all length is 484 feet, with provision for double-tracking of the railway. This is taken care of by a 37-foot steel I-beam span. The deck of this bridge is of the composite timber and concrete type, consisting of a laminated floor of 2-inch by 8-inch and 2-inch by 10-inch timber on edge placed alternately, into which anti-sheer developers are set, together with uplift spikes. Over this is placed reinforcing iron and the concrete deck and curb constructed integral. This structure is the first of its kind to be constructed in Canada. Yale Electoral District (Southern Section). With the exception of the usual maintenance, wholly by unemployment relief labour on the Hope-Princeton Road and Trail, and the snow-ploughing of portion of the Cariboo Road, no work was undertaken in this district. General.—In the untimely death of Mr. C. L. Grant we lost a zealous and efficient worker. His place as surfacing foreman will be difficult to fill. ENGINEERING DISTRICT No. 4 (YALE, KAMLOOPS, SALMON ARM, REVELSTOKE, NORTH AND SOUTH OKANAGAN, SIMILKAMEEN, AND GRAND FORKS- GREENWOOD ELECTORAL DISTRICTS). District Engineer, R. M. Taylor, Kamloops. General.—Work was undertaken on practically all main roads under the Dominion- Provincial Works Agreement, and a considerable amount of new construction and reconstruction carried out on the various projects. Work was also undertaken under the same agreement on mining-roads in various electoral districts. Widening of the road-bed and elimination of old timber cribs was undertaken on the Cariboo Highway near Anderson Creek, and major reconstruction done between Vernon and Kelowna in North Okanagan District and between Penticton and Osoyoos in Similkameen District. Clearing and grubbing by day-labour was carried out on the Hope-Princeton Road west of Princeton, and a tote-road completed from the end of construction to the summit at Allison Pass. Work was continued on the Big Bend Highway by the Dominion Government. Snow-ploughing in all electoral districts was very heavy, as snow conditions were the worst in history. A new bridge was constructed over the South Thompson River at Kamloops, and a new bridge, replacing a bridge washed out in July, 1935, was constructed over the Barriere River on the North Thompson Highway. Yale Electoral District. In June the Department of National Defence camps closed and no further work was carried out on these projects. A 2-mile project of reconstruction on Spences Bridge-Merritt Road was laid out and contract awarded to Dawson, Wade & Co., who completed 50 per cent, of the actual project. Four miles of reconstruction on the Cariboo Highway at Anderson Creek was carried out by day-labour during the winter and 80 per cent, completed. Maintenance-work consisted chiefly of making up the deficit in gravel; good progress was made in this work. Considerable difficulty was experienced in keeping the roads open during the winter, the snowfall being unusually heavy. Owing to slides and washouts, the Cariboo Highway was closed for six weeks in March and April. Early in January a camp for single homeless men was opened at Clapperton Camp No. 329 and Vi mile of road-improvement in solid rock was done. ..:■:■: DISTRICT REPORTS. X 17 In July a cloudburst caused the Trans-Canada Highway between Spences Bridge and Lytton to be blocked for four days and demolished the Thompson Bridge over Nicomen Creek. The road was finally cleaned out and a new pile trestle erected. Kamloops Electoral District. Maintenance of Roads.—Road maintenance was difficult in the summer owing to long dry spells of weather, and in the winter owing to extraordinary heavy snow conditions caused by high winds and drifting. Construction-work was carried out on the Trans-Canada Highway between Cache Creek and Kamloops and on the North Thompson Highway immediately north of Kamloops and at the Barriere River, under the Dominion-Provincial Works Agreement. Under the same agreement, work was done on the Vidette Mines Road, 17 miles being widened and all soft stretches gravelled. Bridges.—A new bridge was constructed over the South Thompson River at Kamloops, replacing the old bridge which had reached the end of its useful life. A bridge was also built across the Barriere River under the Dominion-Provincial Works Agreement, replacing a temporary trestle. Several smaller bridges were rebuilt. Equipment.—Repairs to equipment were carried out at Kamloops Garage; this garage repairs and services all Government equipment in the district and 145 units were handled. Salmon Arm Electoral District. Maintenance of Roads.—Due to the heavy winter frosts which penetrated the ground to a depth of 4 feet, the roads heaved up badly after the thaw and the maintenance costs to put the roads in condition were exceptionally heavy. Added to this, the spring run-off was abnormal, which created heavy flood conditions. Bridges.—Ten bridges were reconstructed and four bridges replaced by culverts and filled in. Minor repairs were carried out on many bridges. Dominion-Provincial Works Agreement.—Two and a half miles of reconstruction to standard grade were completed, Mile 295.2 to Mile 300.5, near Pritchard, on the Trans- Canada Highway. Revelstoke Electoral District. Winter Maintenance.—During the usual heavy snowfall, which was approximately 180 inches, the main roads were kept open for traffic, with the exception of Revelstoke West Road, No. 74. Dominion-Provincial Works Agreement.—One and forty-two hundredths miles of reconstruction to standard grade was carried out on the Trans-Canada Highway, Mile 424 to Mile 426, 2.5 miles west of Revelstoke. Big Bend. Highway (West Portion).—The Department of the Interior (Dominion Government) commenced operations on May 15th and shut down on December 23rd, 1936. During the year 29.12 miles of road were reconstructed, 22.4 miles were surfaced, 31.50 miles were cleared, and 18 miles maintained. There were six bridges structurally improved. One bridge was reconstructed. The average number of men employed during the season 1936 was 350. North Okanagan Electoral District. Good progress was made on standardization of main and trunk roads by contract-work and day-labour in preparation for bituminous surfacing, of which some 4% miles were laid during the season. Final repairs to bridges and roads due to flood-damage were completed. Snow-removal service entailed heavy expenditures to combat an unusual winter of exceptional snowfall. South Okanagan Electoral District. Improvements were carried out on the main road system under contract, eliminating dangerous curvature and grades. The first steel-girder span in the district was erected over Mission Creek. A grade crossing at Mile 111.7 on the C.N.R. Okanagan Subdivision line was eliminated by the construction of an overhead crossing for the main Kelowna-Vernon Road. This bridge is a pile structure, with main span carried on steel girders, and is 180 feet over all. 2 X 18 PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1936-37. Except for a brief period, owing to ice conditions, the Kelowna-Westbank Ferry maintained an uninterrupted schedule. Snow-removal, for which there is an increasing demand, was extensive, the snowfall being double any previous recorded fall. Relief labour and tax work were applied to supplement maintenance operations. Similkameen Electoral District. Construction-work by day-labour was undertaken on the Hope-Princeton Highway, as a result of which some 90 acres of right-of-way were cleared, 11 grubbed, and a pilot-road carried to the Allison Pass Summit. A 2.4-mile section of the Southern Trans-Provincial Highway was reconstructed to standard specifications. This was the Vaseaux Lake section of the Penticton-Oliver Road. A new mining-road, 8 miles in extent, from the town of Hedley to the Nickel Plate Mine and other properties was constructed and is now in use; a mile of new road was also built to the Gold Mountain Mine Mill, giving access to shipping-points on the main highway. The failure of an irrigation-dam at Okanagan Falls inundated the townsite and destroyed a number of roads and bridges, all of which were subsequently replaced. Unusual winter weather conditions made snow-removal difficult. Grand Forks-Greenwood Electoral District. Almond Gardens Road, 2 miles, and Athelstan Mine Road, 2 miles, were constructed and 8 miles of the Dentonia Mine Road to Jewel Lake were reconstructed. At Laurier, construction of a new diversion was undertaken to eliminate two level crossings of the Great Northern Railway between Cascade and Laurier, necessitating the moving of a portion of the railway-track. On the Southern Trans-Provincial Highway, 4 miles of improvement were carried out to standard; 18 miles received a bituminous spray-coat, 7 miles being new work, and 11 miles being the second application. Preparation of surface for bituminous surface was carried out on 7 miles. ENGINEERING DISTRICT No. 5 (CRANBROOK, FERNIE, COLUMBIA, NELSON- CRESTON, KASLO-SLOCAN, AND ROSSLAND-TRAIL ELECTORAL DISTRICTS). District Engineer, E. S. Jones, Cranbrook. Cranbrook Electoral District. Highway Construction and Reconstruction.—The majority of the work in the Cranbrook Electoral District for the fiscal year was carried out by contract. On the Trans-Provincial Highway, south of Cranbrook, work was started on the Moyie Lake section and during the season about 50 per cent, of the work was completed. The Lumberton section was entirely completed under extremely unfavourable conditions, as, through lack of moisture, it was difficult to get the highway consolidated after it had been laid down. However, this section stood the winter very well and no extra work was required, with the exception of rolling, in order to have it ready for hard-surfacing. On the Kootenay-Columbia Highway the Skookumchuck Prairie section, for a distance of 6% miles, was reconstructed by contract. This work presented many difficulties on account of the nature of the material encountered. The work was completed, however, during the early spring. To consolidate the road-bed, about 1,000 yards of clay had to be placed over the entire project. This proved very satisfactory. The most important day-labour work that was carried out was the completion of the Cranbrook-Kimberley Highway by reconstruction in the spring and later in the season by hard-surfacing 5 miles. This now completes the highway between Kimberley and Cranbrook, which is completely hard-surfaced. Hard-surfacing was also carried out at Lumberton 3.73 miles, at Moyie 4.67 miles, 4 miles at Ryan, and 4.8 miles on the Kimberley Road, making a total of 17.2 miles for the season. ■5-- *<r ' /.

X 19 General.—Weather conditions during the whole season were very unsatisfactory as far as road maintenance and road construction were concerned, owing to the extremely dry conditions in the summer and snow conditions throughout the winter. Fernie Electoral District. Hard-surfacing programme was carried out completely. Nineteen miles of Southern Trans-Provincial Highway, between Fernie and Elko, were resurfaced. Ten miles of ditching on same section were completed. Work under the Dominion-Provincial Works Agreement on Project 6, Hosmer-Natal section, Southern Trans-Provincial Highway, was commenced on October 19th and closed down March 31st, 33 acres being cleared and grubbed and 40,000 cubic yards of earth and hard-pan being excavated. Four hundred feet of concrete culverts were laid and 125 feet of 36-inch iron culverts were placed in position. Four thousand eight hundred cubic yards of crushed rock are on site ready for spreading. Snowfall was about the average and all main roads were kept open. No major bridge- work was undertaken during the year under review. With the exception of Project No. 6 and hard-surfacing as outlined above, work consisted of usual seasonal maintenance only, for which weather conditions were not very favourable. Columbia Electoral District. Kootenay-Columbia Highway.—Reconstruction of a total of 11.01 miles was done by contract under the Dominion-Provincial Works Agreement. This is comprised of a 6.72-mile section near Dutch Creek, of the Radium-Kingsgate Project, and three sections between Radium and Golden—namely, 1.26 miles adjacent to Radium, 1.44 miles between Spillama- cheen and Brisco, and 1.59 miles adjacent to Golden. Trans-Canada Highway, Kicking Horse Section.—During the winter, unemployment- relief recipients residing in Golden were employed in widening a narrow section of this highway where it enters the town. Donald Ferry.—The old ferry, which had reached the end of its useful life, was replaced by a new 3-ton capacity pontoon. Nelson-Creston Electoral District. Road Construction and Improvement.—In addition to the contract-work under the Dominion-Provincial Agreement, four important projects were carried on by the Department, using own machinery and relief labour. These consisted in widening and generally rebuilding 2.7 miles of the Nelson—Castlegar Road from Peter's Tomb to Robson; the continuation during the summer months of construction between Grey Creek and Crawford Bay; in the winter, widening the old narrow railway-grade between Kuskonook and Atbara; and in opening up the road on the flats between Creston and Wynndel. The latter was made possible because the Creston Reclamation Company had piled up the spoil from their drainage-ditch in such a way that it was possible to grade it out into a well- drained road 30 to 40 feet wide on top and averaging 3 feet above the level of the surrounding country. Ferries.—A new ferry hull was built at Nelson and put into operation. The steamship " Nasookin " was given a complete overhaul early in the summer. Snow-removal.—A comparatively heavy snowfall kept our ploughs busy from late November until April, but no main road was closed to traffic more than twelve hours; in fact, the only main road so closed was the Nelson-Nelway and this was due to slides. Kaslo-Slocan Electoral District. Snow-removal.—Conditions prevailing last winter were extremely difficult. All boat and train services were tied up for practically the whole winter. Notwithstanding the continuous heavy snowfall, roads in the district were only closed to traffic for a few days at the end of February. Two hundred and fifty-eight miles of road were kept open. Ploughs travelled 6,771 miles and were working for 3,000 hours. This does not include the crews of relief workers who were kept continually clearing slides and snow-drifts. X 20 PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1936-37. Highway Construction and Maintenance.—Major work done this year included 2 miles of a 9-mile diversion on the Slocan Valley-Nakusp Highway and 1 mile reconstructed at Box Lake on the same highway. Both of these jobs were done under contract by the General Construction Company. Over 1 mile of road on the Kaslo-New Denver Road was standardized by day-labour. Work on all the above projects will be carried on during the ensuing year. Ferries.—Owing to such severe winter conditions, the ferry at Needles had to be closed for eighteen days and the ferry at Arrow Park for eleven days; otherwise the services were continuous. Mining Roads and Trails.—Twenty-two mining roads and trails were maintained and put in shape for transportation during the year. River-bank Protection.—Protection-work was done on Kuskanaux Creek near Nakusp; two long log crib walls were built to divert the stream from its old bed into a new channel. All this work was done by relief labour. Rossland-Trail Electoral District. Highway Maintenance.—The roads in the Rossland-Trail District were opened up rather late, due to a cold backward spring with heavy frosts and consequent heaving of portions of the main highways. The roads which had been reconstructed stood up splendidly under the heavy traffic. A crew of twenty men with trucks and grader opened up the Cascade Road between Rossland and Cascade and traffic was allowed through on April 23rd; to accomplish this required the ploughing of snow for over 20 miles. Highway Construction and Improvement.—Work was done on the Castlegar-Trail Road by men from the Department of National Defence relief camps, approximately 1 mile being reconstructed and surfaced with crushed gravel in the vicinity of Murphy Creek. One-half mile of standard road at Warfield Subdivision and 1 mile at China Creek Subdivision were constructed and surfaced as minor betterments. Approximately SVi miles of road were reconstructed and 1 mile of new road constructed on the Castlegar-Trail Road by contract; this work was surfaced with crushed and screened gravel with satisfactory results. About 2V2 miles of bituminous mulch were laid down in the district during the year. Ferries.—The only ferry in the district, that at Castlegar, was taken out of the water at the end of the season for repair. Surveys.—Relocation-work was done on the Rossland-Cascade Road and the Rossland- Paterson Road. ENGINEERING DISTRICT No. 6 (LILLOOET AND CARIBOO ELECTORAL DISTRICTS). District Engineer, W. Ramsay, Williams Lake. North Cariboo Electoral District. On settlement and farm roads some good improvements, particularly in the matter of drainage and gravel surfacing, were made through the medium of work in lieu of taxes. Snow-removal.—Snowfall, while not so heavy as in other winters, was dry and frequently accompanied by heavy winds, causing drifting and consequently requiring more frequent ploughing. All the main travelled roads were kept open and, throughout the winter, there was very little delay to traffic. Improvements and Reconstruction of Highways.—Improvements consisted of construction of diversions to improve alignment, and also widening to standard width some sections of road already on permanent location. The following are the more important projects under this heading: Cariboo Road, Mile 178 to Mile 181, 3.1 miles reconstruction to standard width; Mile 194 to Mile 196, 1.6 miles reconstruction. Mining-roads—Dominion-Provincial Works Agreement.—Quesnel-Barkerville Road: Reconstruction of 20-Mile Hill on improved alignment, with grade reduction from 15 to 9 per cent, and a minimum width of 20 feet. Under this agreement very necessary work was also DISTRICT REPORTS. X 21 done on Bullion Road, Yanks Peak Trail, Likely-Keithley Road, and on several of the roads tributary to the Quesnel-Barkerville Road. Bridges.—Necessary work such as reinforcing, redecking, tightening trusses, and making general repairs was undertaken. Severe floods north of Quesnel and in Keithley area resulted in the loss of bridges at Keithley Creek, Hixon Creek, Cedar Creek, and Grouse Creek. The latter two were minor bridges and were replaced, while temporary structures were first put in over Hixon and Keithley Creeks. A temporary pile trestle had to be added to Canyon Creek Bridge as a result of the widening of the channel by the same flood. Ferries.—Spring overhaul, including reconditioning pontoons, was carried out on all ferries and no replacements were made. South Cariboo Electoral District. Snow-removal.—All main and trunk roads and also a considerable mileage of side-roads were ploughed and kept open through the winter in spite of heavy drifting for prolonged periods, which necessitated more frequent ploughing than usual. Improvements and Reconstruction.—Improvements and reconstruction of the Cariboo Road were undertaken as follows: Mile 96.5 to Mile 97.0, 0.5 mile of diversion construction; Mile 117 to Mile 118.5, 1.3 miles widening and gravelling; Mile 144.5 to Mile 147.0, 1.1 miles of diversion construction and 1.4 miles of widening and surfacing. Mining-roads—Dominion-Provincial Works Agreement.—Taseko Lake: Constructing 20 miles of road 9 feet wide, the excavated material for which amounted to approximately 17,000 cubic yards. Williams Lake-Likely (Likely Hill Diversion) : Making start on diversion 1.5 miles long to reduce grades from 18 to 7.5 per cent. Bridges.—A pile-trestle structure 68 feet long was erected over Jones Creek at Mile 14.7 on Cariboo Road. Lillooet Electoral District. Snow-removal.—Around Ashcroft and through Marble Canyon to Lillooet the snow was heavier than for many years, while in Bridge River area the total snowfall on Mission Mountain was 14 feet, and during the last week in February approximately 7 miles of snow and rock slides had to be handled, making it very difficult to keep the road open continuously throughout its entire length. Improvements and Reconstruction — Mining-roads.-—Under the Dominion-Provincial Works Agreement, the most important improvement-work in Lillooet District was carried out on Bridge River Road, where contract-work and day-labour work were undertaken on practically the entire length of 54 miles. Improvement-work was also proceeded with on Upper Squamish Valley Road, Mud Creek Road, and the road between Pioneer and Pacific Eastern Mine. Bituminous Surfacing.—An additional 5.67 miles of mulch were laid on the Trans-Canada Highway from 3 miles west of Spences Bridge towards Lytton; the mileage laid in previous years has stood up to traffic and weather conditions very satisfactorily. General. During the winter of 1936-37 in District No. 6 snow-ploughs opened up 1,150 miles of road and the units engaged on the work travelled a snow-plough mileage of 10,550 miles. ENGINEERING DISTRICT No. 7 (PRINCE RUPERT, ATLIN, SKEENA, AND OMINECA ELECTORAL DISTRICTS). District Engineer, J. C. Brady, Prince Rupert. Prince Rupert Electoral District. The North Trans-Provincial Highway was built from Mile 9 to Mile 10.02 under the Dominion-Provincial Works Agreement, completing the road to Taylor Lake. This gives access to a forest and stream country of interest to sportsmen, campers, and loggers. Surveys were carried beyond construction in preparation for future work. X 22 PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1936-37. On Queen Charlotte Islands the road between Port Clements and Tlell, which is 12 miles long and presents many objectionable features by reason of its being constructed of plank on stringers, received considerable attention in the matter of renewing the ties, planks, and stringers in the worst places, and also in replacing some sections by permanent construction on solid ground. From Tlell to Skidegate the Queen Charlotte Island Marine Drive was improved. From Skidegate to Queen Charlotte City 930 feet were widened in rock. On Roads Nos. 17 and 8, running northerly from Port Clements, clearing, brushing, ditching, gravelling, arid corduroying were done. At Sandspit 600 feet of the road were moved back from the beach, graded and gravelled, and culverts renewed in various places. On the Masset-Tow Hill Road construction was extended from Mile 10.7 to Mile 11.7 by slashing, clearing, and rough-grading. This work is part of a plan to entirely remove the road from the beach between Miles 10 and 14 and is being continued as funds are available. Between Miles 2 and 3 on this road two bad curves were greatly reduced. Between Mileage 16 and 17, near Tow Hill, the road-bed was improved by gravel and ditches and one new culvert installed. On the Old Masset-New Masset Road 1 mile of gravelling was done, and improvements were made from Mile 2.5 to Mile 3.5. At Lewis Island minor betterments were made to the trail. At Jap Inlet the old board walk was taken up for 600 feet and replaced by rock and gravel. Mount Oldfield Trail, leading from Prince Rupert to the ski-ing grounds, was extended 500 feet and trees were cleared out at certain view-points. Snow-removal.—The snowfall was very heavy in the vicinity of Prince Rupert and much work was required in keeping the road open to the camp at 9-Mile, where work proceeded during the greater part of the winter. Roads and sidewalks were cleared of snow in many places on the Queen Charlotte Islands. Floats.—At Cow Bay Floats severe storms did considerable damage. Two floats were rebuilt and concrete blocks installed as anchors in place of piling which was badly teredo- eaten. Bridges.—A new bridge was constructed at Oona River to give access from one part of the settlement to the other, and replacing the old one whose life was done. The bridge at Osland was reconstructed. Seven bridges between Port Clements and Skidegate were reconstructed in the scheme of general improvement of the whole road. Atlin Electoral District. North Atlin.—No major projects were undertaken in North Atlin during the fiscal year 1936-37. Work was done under Vote 119, Grants in Aid of Mining Roads and Trails, on Boulder Creek and Spruce Creek. Stikine.—A start was made on Mining Project No. 9, Telegraph-Dease Lake Road and McDame-Quartz City Trail, consisting for the most part of general reconstruction and rebuilding of bridges. South Atlin.—Four major projects were undertaken in South Atlin. Favourable progress was made on the Unuk River Road, where it was found necessary to take men and supplies in by plane. The old trail of 20 miles was brushed out and 12 miles of new trail built. This included % mile around a bad washout. This trail is now completed from Boundary Lake to the Premier mining property. Work on the Dolly Varden Project No. 6 was completed, except for about % mile of road through the canyon and filling rock in some of the cribbing built near the end of the season. Owing to the late start on the Big Missouri Mine Road Project No. 4 and the heavy volume of traffic during reconstruction, it was not possible to make much headway before snow came. Three acres were cleared, W2. acres grubbed, and bridges rebuilt and repaired as far as possible. A number of mining-trails were repaired under the vote for Grants in Aid of Mining Roads and Trails. A few minor bridges were also repaired. Government offices at both Atlin and Telegraph Creek received repairs, and the roof of the Court-house at Anyox was repaired and tarred. DISTRICT REPORTS. X 2£ Skeena Electoral District. Maintenance of Highways and Bridges.—Relief labour continued to be used to a considerable extent and settlers working out taxes were employed on maintenance. High water, resulting in flood conditions, was again experienced at the end of May and during the first week in June. Due to the flood the following bridges were destroyed: Driftwood Creek; Meanskinisht at Cedarvale Slough; while Price Creek Bridge at Kitwanga, Skeena Suspension Bridge on Hazelton-Kispiox Road, Skeena River Bridge at Terrace, and Braun's Island Bridge were damaged, as well as several smaller structures at different points. The Skeena River Bridge at Terrace had 80 feet of south approach washed out and this has been repaired; Porphyry Creek Bridge was damaged and repaired later. Numerous washouts and slides occurred and silt was deposited over some roads to a considerable depth. Ferries.—Necessary repairs on account of flood-damage were made at the following ferry- sites : Hazelton, Cedarvale, Kitwanga, Usk, Copper City, and Remo. Highway Construction and Improvements—Northern Trans-Provincial Highway.—Three miles were reconstructed and improved from the district boundary, 7 miles east of Smithers, under the Dominion-Provincial Works Agreement, graded to 24 feet wide, ditched and gravelled. From Usk, easterly to Cedarvale, 3 miles of new road were opened up and partially constructed and the Chimdemash Bridge partially built, under the same agreement. This stretch of road was built to 24 feet wide for 1V2 miles and 20 feet for 1% miles. The width of the road was temporarily reduced with the object of obtaining more mileage. The new overhead crossing over the Canadian National Railway at New Hazelton was completed and opened for traffic, thereby eliminating two level crossings and straightening out the road to Hazelton. Snow-removal.—A total of 130 miles of road were ploughed and kept open for traffic, involving 832 snow-plough miles. Buildings.—A new ferry-house was built at Kitwanga to replace one washed away in the high water in June. Repairs made necessary by flood conditions to other ferry-houses were made. Surveys.—Surveys were made during the year for final bridge locations on the Driftwood Creek Road for 2.75 miles and for revisions on the Northern Trans-Provincial Highway between Hazelton and Smithers for 6 miles. The floods of 1935 and 1936 completely washed away part of the Northern Trans-Provincial Highway between Skeena Crossing and Kitwanga, entailing surveys for new location for 2.5 miles. Work under the Dominion-Provincial Works Agreement necessitated 4 miles of location and revision. Omineca Electoral District. Maintenance of Highways, Bridges, and Ferries.—In addition to maintenance-work, gravelling was done by settlers working out their taxes. Eight miles of right-of-way were slashed and piled as a relief measure at Cluculz Lake Cut-off on Northern Trans-Provincial Highway. Snowfall was heavy and equipment was in use all winter; main roads were kept open all winter and local roads ploughed one or more times. Protection-work was done on Necoslie River, Buckley River, and Goat Creek Bridges and various small bridges were redecked or repaired. Ferries were all operated continuously until freeze-up, and cleaned, repaired, and put in order during the winter. Reconstruction.—On the Northern Trans-Provincial Highway in the vicinity of McDowell Creek a large culvert and fill was put in hand and was about 75 per cent, completed; this will eliminate a very dangerous curve. At Perow 1% miles of road were reconstructed to standard width and a rock-cut widened to 24 feet. Between Engen and Fort Fraser 3% miles of the road were reconstructed to standard width and gravelled, while several smaller curves were eliminated and road brought to standard. Work on the Manson Creek-Peace River Road could not be commenced before August and, owing to abnormal wet weather from then on, only about 50 per cent, of the work laid X 24 PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1936-37. out could be done. Miles 8 to 13 were graded and gravelled and the contract to construct and gravel Miles 15 to 25 was 50 per cent, completed. Takla Landing-Vital Creek Road for a distance of 42 miles was made passable during the summer months for mining equipment, which will help the mining industry in that district to a very large extent. One mile of the Telkwa River Coal-mine Road was relocated, constructed, and gravelled; this should eliminate the yearly slides. On the Burns Lake-Babine Road 7 miles of right-of- way were cleared. Bridges reconstructed included Clarke's Bridge, McLaurin Bridge, Kalhood Bridge, and Willow Bridge. ENGINEERING DISTRICT No. 7a (FORT GEORGE ELECTORAL DISTRICT). Assistant District Engineer, J. W. Miers, Prince George. Maintenance of Highways.—During the spring thaw load restrictions were enforced, with a resultant saving in maintenance costs. Construction and Reconstruction of Highways—Cariboo Highway (Prince George—Woodpecker).—A short diversion on improved alignment was commenced at Mile 12 and 30 per cent, completed. Between Miles 28 and 32 several short side-hill sections were widened and straightened. Cariboo Highway (Prince George-Summit Lake).—Improvements consisting chiefly of widening and straightening were made at several points. Fort George-Hazelton Highway.—Grading was completed on the new diversion at Mile 9. Reconstruction of 3.71 miles in the vicinity of Bednesti Lake was commenced. The right-of- way was cleared and grubbed for the entire distance and 3 miles partly graded. Owing to wet weather the work was not completed. Fort George-Yellowhead Highway.—Between Giscome and Hansard approximately 14 miles were lightly gravelled. Three thousand yards of granite were crushed and stock-piled at Giscome. Some hand-ditching was done east of the Fraser River between Hansard and Sinclair Mills. Between McBride and Tete Jaune several miles were widened and gravelled. Fort George-Chief Lake Highway.—Four miles were gravelled and 1 mile in swampy ground ditched and widened. Bridges and Culverts.—Several trestles and small bridges were reconstructed and a number were repaired. Three concrete-pipe culverts were constructed, one 36-inch diameter and two 24-inch diameter. Ferries.—At Croydon a new ferry, consisting of a small reaction scow, was constructed. Snow-removal.—The snowfall was average and considerably lighter than for several years. Bad drifting conditions were experienced in February and it was found impossible to plough the drifts with available equipment. A truck equipped with V-plough gave good satisfaction and in moderate depths of freshly fallen snow averaged a speed of 15 miles per hour between Prince George and Woodpecker. ENGINEERING DISTRICT No. 8 (PEACE RIVER ELECTORAL DISTRICT). District Engineer, H. L. Hayne, Pouce Coupe. Maintenance of Highways.—The patrol system is proving to be satisfactory and requests to enlarge it are being received from all parts of the district. Highway Construction and Improvement.—Continuing the reconstruction of the Grand Prairie-Fort St. John-Peace Pass Highway, the last stretch between rail-head and Fort St. John, a distance of 22 miles, was well ditched and brought to an 18-foot section, and work was continued on the Cache Creek, 23 miles farther west, to 16-foot section. Fort St. John-Hines Creek Road: The new grade opened up east of the Beatton River was widened and the 3-mile gap to join up with the old road was built. Dawson Creek-Rolla-Carpio: Nine miles between Rolla and Doe River were reconstructed 18 feet wide and the right-of-way cleared of small brush 66 feet wide. Rolla East: Reconstructed for 5 miles 18 feet wide and a fill crossing a low spot raised 4 feet high by 500 feet long. DISTRICT REPORTS. X 25 Dawson Creek-Sunrise Road: The remaining 3 miles to complete this cut-off to Sunrise was rough-graded, but owing to frost conditions a number of small fills and culverts remain to be installed. Progress-Sunset-Groundbirch: Several bad hills were cut and low spots filled for a distance of 4 miles. Dawson-Moberly-Hudson Hope: Sixteen miles between Dawson Creek and Rattray's Corner were ditched and graded to an 18-foot section and the right-of-way for 4 miles through fairly heavy alder was widened 50 feet on the south side. Pouce Coupe-Briar Ridge: The entire road a distance of 19Y2 miles was regraded, new culverts and fills made, and the right-of-way brushed out 66 feet wide. Numerous other minor roads were well ditched and graded and a total of 300 culverts varying in size installed, using jack-pine timber taken out by relief labour during the winter. Bridges Reconstructed and Maintained.—Twelve old bridges were replaced with standard 10-ton pile structures having a total length of deck of 1,008 feet and four entirely new bridges of the same type having a deck-length of 120 feet were built. A survey for a new bridge to eliminate the ford over the Pouce Coupe River at Landry's was made and a good site selected. Ferries.—The new tug put in operation at the Taylor Ferry Crossing of the Peace River has proved very satisfactory, handling the barge without help. The only tie-up occurred in July, when the Peace River rose to the highest point on record, flooding the low flat on the south side of the river. A survey was made for a ferry to serve Clayhurst and a good site selected opposite the mouth of the Moose River. An overhead cable was installed at the Halfway to allow crossing by basket when the ice is going out. Unemployment Relief.—The policy of using relief labour to get out piling and culvert material in the winter was continued. Tax Work.—This has been a great boon to the district; work on many side-roads and major work on main roads has been done for which provision could not otherwise have been made. Buildings.—The Government Building and Engineer's residence were painted and a new building for storage of small equipment built in the Public Works Yard. All other buildings were maintained.
