REPORT OF THE MINISTER OF PUBLIC WORKS OF THE PROVINCE OF BRITISH COLUMBIA FISCAL YEAR 1989-40 PRINTED BY AUTHORITY OF THE LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY. VICTORIA, B.C. : Printed by Charles F. Baxfield, Printer to the King's Most Excellent Majesty. 1940. To His Honour Eric Werge Hamber, Lieutenant-Goveryior of the Province of British Columbia. May it please Your Honour: Herewith I beg respectfully to submit the Annual Report of the Department of Public Works for the fiscal year ended March 31st, 1940, in compliance with the provisions of the " Public Works Act." C. S. LEARY, Minister of Public Works. Office of the Minister of Public Works, Parliament Buildings, September 13th, 19W. PUBLIC WORKS REPORT. / REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER. Parliament Buildings, Victoria, B.C., September, 9th, 1940. Hon. C. S. Leary, 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 1939-40: — GENERAL OUTLINE OF WORK. The majority of the highway programme for this year consisted of reconstruction and realignment preparatory to surfacing for the following year of the main trunk highways, and also the surfacing of reconstruction carried out in the previous year; this being in line with the Department's policy that the primary object of roads is to afford a means of transportation as economically as possible, compatible with safety and efficiency, and the first principle to be observed is the laying-out and construction of trunk roads. Local roads were also kept up and repaired, widened, and ditched as was necessary. All work undertaken was satisfactorily completed. A great improvement in the maintenance of surfaced roads was noticeable and all patching was done promptly and in a satisfactory manner. The continued increase of foreign cars entering the Province during the last three years brought up the question of giving route numbers to the principal through highways in the Province. After considerable preliminary investigation a scheme of route numbering was decided upon and each route was allocated an individual number and marker of a separate colour. Key-maps were also prepared for distribution to the public, showing the route numbers, their colours, and the sections of through routes that were hard-surfaced. These route markers will be erected during the year 1940-41 and the key-maps distributed to the public. This innovation should prove of great benefit to the travelling public. DOMINION-PROVINCIAL WORKS AGREEMENTS. As in past years, it was considered desirable in the general interests of the Province and the Dominion that agreements should be entered into for the completion of certain important highways that were of value to the Dominion Government, the tourist trade, and the development of mineral resources. Three agreements were entered into with the Dominion Government, which may be briefly outlined as follows:— Roads to National Parks. For the completion of the Kingsgate-Kootenay Park Highway an agreement was entered into on June 30th, 1939, for an estimated expenditure not to exceed $600,000 over a period of two years. The cost of this work to be borne half by the Dominion Government and half by the Provincial Government. For the year 1939 the total expenditure not to exceed $380,000 and the Dominion Government's contribution not to exceed $190,000. Mining Transportation Programme. For the purpose of the development of roads to open up mining areas within the Province and to improve existing roads in certain areas, an agreement was entered into, dated June 30th, 1939, whereby the Dominion Government agreed to spend an amount not exceeding $240,000 and the Provincial Government would expend an additional sum at least equal to half this amount, making a total proposed expenditure of $360,000. In connection with the expenditures on tourist highways, it was considered essential that the King George VI. Highway (previously known as the Peace Arch Highway) be completed and it was mutually agreed that the Dominion contribute a sum not exceeding $340,000 and that the Province would contribute a like sum, the total expenditure not to exceed $680,000. P 4 PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1939-40. RELIEF OF SINGLE HOMELESS MEN. Owing to the decline in the numbers of single homeless men and transients migrating to the Pacific Coast and to the change in policy in the treatment of this class of relief recipients, no highway-construction camps were operated in conjunction with the Labour Department. HIGHWAY-CONSTRUCTION. Continued satisfactory progress was made on the highway from Kingsgate to the Koote- nay National Park by reconstructing old portions of the highway in preparation for surfacing during 1940, also by hard-surfacing parts of the highway reconstructed last year. The 5-mile diversion of the Island Highway near Cowichan Bay was hard-surfaced and commencement was made with the relocation of the Island Highway between Mill Bay and the Cowichan Bay Diversion. When finished this new diversion will complete a modern, safe, and picturesque highway from Mill Bay to Duncan. King George VI. Highway (previously known as the Peace Arch Highway) was completed with a gravel surface and was prepared in readiness to receive hard-surfacing during 1940. An important diversion of the Trans- Canada Highway between Jones Creek and Hunter Creek, having a length of 2.16 miles, was constructed. This diversion now completes the reconstruction of the Trans-Canada Highway between Jones Creek and Hunter Creek, a total distance of 5 miles, eliminating two railway crossings. SURFACING. New bituminous surfacing carried out during the year comprised 69 miles of mulch and 44 miles of spray-coat work. In addition to this, new work consisting of improvements to and renewal of existing surfaces was carried out on 170 miles of road. Further details of the surfacing programme are given in the Surfacing Engineer's report. WORK PERFORMED—HIGHWAYS. The following is a summary of highway construction, reconstruction, etc., performed during the year:— Class of Highway-work.

For further details reference may be made to the district reports. MAINTENANCE OF ROADS, BRIDGES, AND FERRIES. As in the past, the satisfactory maintenance of roads, bridges, and ferries was carried out, this work being undertaken from funds in the " District Vote." As in past years, much good work of maintenance and minor betterment was also done by men in return for direct relief. FLOODS. During the year there were some floods in various sections of the Province which caused some anxiety and did a certain amount of damage to- highways and bridges. Heavy rains caused flood damage in Alberni and Zeballos areas and also in the Courtenay District. In the Peace River District, Moose River Bridge was washed out on two occasions and had to be replaced. REPORT OF CHIEF ENGINEER. P 5 SNOW-REMOVAL. There was an exceptionally light fall of snow throughout the Province during the year and snow-ploughs were not in use on Vancouver Island, and for one day only in the Lower Fraser Valley. Throughout the Province, 4,482 miles of roads were kept open by snow- ploughing, involving a total of 40,319 snow-plough miles at an average cost of $10.80 per mile kept open. During the previous year 7,400 miles of road were ploughed and kept open at an average cost of $23.04 per mile. ROAD MILEAGE. Elsewhere in this report will be found the usual statement of mileage and type of construction of Provincial highways. The total of 21,126 miles shows an increase of 355 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. It will be noted that the Provincial highway system includes 502 miles of municipal highways, classified as arterial, primary, or secondary. The total mileage may be classified as follows:— Trunk and main highways 6,691 Local roads 5,125 Settlement, industrial, and mining roads 9,310 Total 21,126 In addition, there are 10,288 miles of trails on the registers, of which 6,000 miles are classed as mining-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. PATTULLO BRIDGE. The figures for vehicles using this bridge during the year continue to show an increase over the previous year and the traffic passing across amounted to, during the fiscal year 1939-40, 1,869,060 vehicles producing a revenue of $267,535. Since the opening of this bridge more than 4,000,000 vehicles have passed over the structure. 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 No. of Vehicles carried. 1933-34. | 1935-36. I 1937-38.

MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT. The report of the Mechanical Superintendent is attached, which gives a list of the plant and machinery owned and operated by this Department during the fiscal year. P 6 PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1939-40. 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." The totals as at March 31st, 1940, were as follows:— Miles. Classified as arterial 323.59 Classified as primary 59.75 Classified as secondary 119.09 Total 502.43 Such changes in classified highways as were made were duly reported in The British Columbia Gazette, as required by'the Statutes. HIGHWAY TRANSPORT BRANCH. Under the "Public Utilities Act" (chapter 47 of the Statutes of 1938), the Public Utilities Commission was granted certain jurisdiction regarding the regulation of persons who own or operate motor-vehicles for transportation of passengers or freight for compensation. To some extent these provisions were similar to the provisions of Part V. of the " Highway Act." Therefore, by agreement between the Public Utilities Commission and the Minister of Public Works, which was confirmed and authorized by Order in Council, approved May 2nd, 1939, administration of Part V. of the " Highway Act " was transferred to the Public Utilities Commission. A statement of licence-plates issued during the licence-year ended February 29th, 1940, is embodied elsewhere in this report. GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS. The report of the Chief Architect, attached hereto, outlines the activities of the Architectural Branch of the Department. MISCELLANEOUS. Several revisions and additions were made to the standard specifications prepared by the Department, more especially respecting concrete-arch culverts. All accounting for unemployment relief continued to be done by the Accounting staff of the Public Works Department. Correspondence comprised 40,500 inward and outward letters. 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. NEW BUILDINGS. The Architectural Branch has been very active during the year, with the plans completed and the work well in hand for the following new buildings: Kelowna Hospital; Women's Gaol, Oakalla; Preventive Medicine Building, University of British Columbia; Mount St. Mary's Hospital, Victoria; T.B. Hospital, Victoria, for Sisters of St. Ann; new Government Buildings, Stewart, Pouce Coupe, and Creston; Cottages and workshop, Borstal School, New Haven; New generator, Tranquille; and addition to Princeton Hospital. The above represents an expenditure of over $1,000,000. The new office buildings at Kamloops, Creston, Stewart, and also the Workmen's Compensation Board Building and Motor-vehicle Building, Vancouver, are now under the complete direction of this office for all services, as they do not house any agency. I wish to express to Mr. H. L. Taylor and his staff my sincere thanks for all the assistance rendered to this Branch in the preparation of plans and specifications for the electrical work in connection with all our new work for some years past. REPORT OF BRIDGE ENGINEER. P 7 THEIR MAJESTIES' VISIT. During this fiscal year, British Columbia welcomed Their Majesties the King and Queen to this Province. This Branch was responsible for the alterations and improvements at Government House for the use of Their Majesties, as well as the various arrangements for their visit to these Buildings and decoration of other Government Buildings throughout the Province. I would like at this time to express to Mr. Tyson and the various tradesmen under his direction my thanks for the untiring and excellent work they did in connection with this visit. I might add that the two thrones used in the Legislative Hall were designed in this office and the work carried out in our own carpenters' shop. REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE. We have been able to place some of our smaller Government Buildings in first-class condition, having thoroughly overhauled them, and I would like to continue this practice until we can get them all in first-class condition. SCHOOLS. The Branch has forwarded to various School Boards plans and specifications of our standard schools, and erected the new Consolidated School at Ganges, also additions to schools at Wellington, Gibsons Landing, Campbell River, Tsolum, and Oyster River, and new six- room school at Hedley. FURNITURE. This has been well kept up to date, along with typewriters and other machines. H. Whittaker, Chief Architect. REPORT OF THE BRIDGE ENGINEER. Conditions generally were unsettled, especially towards the end of the year. Costs of all materials gradually increased and deliveries became more uncertain. Fortunately, there was no scarcity of skilled workmen prepared to render good service. The national emergency demanded a drastic restriction of expenditures. As a consequence, much attention was directed to maintaining structures in service that would have been renewed under normal conditions. A large programme of extraordinary repairs and reinforcements was made necessary to render old structures safe for the ever-increasing traffic. On sections of our main highways where major improvements were in progress, an effort was made to reconstruct the bridges to permanent or semi-permanent designs. Among these are the following: Cougar Creek and Millstone Bridges, on the Island Highway; Jones Creek, Lorenzetti, Hunter Creek, and Texas Creek, on the Trans-Canada Highway; Nicomekl, Serpentine, and Bear Creek, on the King George VI. Highway; and Sandy Cove on Marine Drive, West Vancouver. These are all steel and concrete or creosoted timber and concrete bridges, with concrete roadways, sidewalks, etc. They are quite fine structures—a credit to all engaged in their construction. Several major timber structures were also renewed, such as: Oyster River, Comox District; Cowichan Station, Cowichan District; Kaslo Bridge at Kaslo; and Bear Creek, Nelson-Creston District. A large number of minor structures were also renewed. On the new Manson Creek Road, in Omineca District, four new bridges of moderate size were built. New ferries were constructed to provide crossings of the Kootenay River to Nick's Island, in the Nelson-Creston District; and of the Pine River, in Peace River District. The latter is our largest reaction ferry, having a capacity for 25 tons, and forms a part of the project to open up the oilfield at Commotion Creek. Credit is due to the whole staff for a satisfactory year's work accomplished under rather trying conditions, brought about by the threat and, finally, the onset of war. A. L. Carruthers, Bridge Engineer. P 8 PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1939-40. REPORT OF THE MECHANICAL SUPERINTENDENT. INSPECTION OF EQUIPMENT AND MACHINERY. The equipment and machinery operated by the Department is in excellent condition. The new Diesel auto patrols and tractors have given excellent service in maintenance, construction, and snow-removal work. During the fiscal year 1939-40, every district in the Province was visited and detailed reports covering the inspection of each unit operated by the Department are on file. The repair-work undertaken in our garages is of a very good standard, and this in conjunction with the new garage equipment and tools which have been purchased and installed in our workshops has been a decided factor in keeping down the maintenance cost. New equipment purchased during the fiscal year 1939-40, including garage equipment and tools, amounted to approximately $285,000. POWER-FERRIES. The new ferry for the Kelowna-Westbank service was completed and launched on May 18th, 1939, at Kelowna. The new vessel is of steel construction throughout and was designed and constructed in accordance with the best modern ship-building practice. The hull was built by Hamilton Bridge Western, Limited, Vancouver, and the two 160-horse-power Diesel engines were supplied by the Vivian Engine Works, Vancouver. The ferry is double-ended, which eliminates the necessity for making a turn after landing, and consequently saves considerable time in handling traffic. It has an over-all length of 140 feet, breadth 43 feet, speed 10 knots, and accommodation for 150 passengers and thirty average sized cars. It was named " Pendozi," for the first missionary in the Okanagan District. All ferries operating subject to the provisions of the " Canada Shipping Act" were inspected and certified by the Dominion Steamship Inspector. The undernoted power-ferries were inspected and reported on:— Ladner-Woodward. Taylor Flats. Agassiz-Rosedale. Kootenay Lake. Castlegar. Needles-Fauquier. Nelson. Creston. Harrop-Longbeach. LAUNCH. A new launch constructed for the Department for the transportation of departmental officials engaged in survey and inspection work in the coastal sectors of the Province was launched on July 27th, 1939, at Victoria. The vessel has an over-all length of 60 feet, breadth 15 feet 6 inches, speed 9 knots, and accommodates six persons in addition to the crew, which comprises an engineer and deck-hand. The power plant is a 120-horse-power Vivian Diesel engine and a Ruston-Lister Diesel auxiliary runs the lighting plant, fire and bilge pumps, and air-compressor. The cruising radius of the new launch is approximately 1,200 miles. J. Armstrong, Mechanical Superintendent. Kelowna-Westbank. Francois Lake. 12-Mile. 24-Mile. Sorrento-Scotch Creek.

W. P. Beavan, Surfacing Engineer. REPORT OF THE LOCATING ENGINEER. During the year eight surveys totalling 80.2 miles were made. In addition, numerous reconnaissances were carried out, on which no field parties were used. The work was distributed over ten electoral districts. In some cases a proportion of the costs was borne by the districts, but generally funds were provided out of the special vote for surveys. The personnel used in most instances came from the district where the work was being done, but in several major surveys the chief of the party and instrument-men were supplied from Headquarters and the final estimates prepared at Kamloops Office. This arrangement worked out satisfactory and helped the various districts to keep a field engineer continuously employed. It is hard to work out an average cost per mile of line run, as conditions in the different parts of the Province vary to a very great extent; also in many cases the locations are only improvements to the existing roads and the class of work done varies considerably. The following costs are based on 157.5 miles of surveys run for the last two years, and are shown under three classes of work:— Per Mi]e (1.) Preliminary surveys with paper locations through new country where no previous roads existed $195.20 (2.) Complete final locations through new country where no previous roads existed 400.00 (3.) Complete relocation of existing roads 195.40 All instruments in the Province were checked and, where necessary, repairs were arranged and paid for out of the survey vote. Instruments were moved from one district to another as required. Some new camp equipment was purchased and is available for major surveys. H. L. Hayne, Locating Engineer. P 10 PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1939-40. DISTRICT REPORTS. ENGINEERING DISTRICT No. 1 (VANCOUVER ISLAND AND THE ISLANDS). District Engineer, W. W. Bell, Victoria. Alberni-Nanaimo Electoral District. General.—General maintenance was carried out by local crews in all sections in an efficient manner. Weather conditions: Dry summer and mild winter with light snowfall. Heavy rains during the winter caused considerable flood damage, especially in the Alberni and Zeballos areas. Operations.—Highway improvements included reconstruction and widening on the following roads: Great Central Lake Road, 3.4 miles; Beaver Creek Road, 2.8 miles; Island Highway at Wellington, 1.7 miles; Chase River Road, approximately 1 mile. At Zeballos and Bedwell River, 3.9 miles of mining-roads and 28.1 miles of mining-trails were constructed. Bituminous Surfacing.—Bituminous mulch and respray work was carried out on the Canadian Highway, Island Highway, and South Wellington Road; also on various roads in the Nanaimo area. A number of bridges were reconstructed during the year, including a reinforced-concrete slab and steel structure on the Island Highway over Millstone Creek, north of Nanaimo. Many other bridges were repaired and maintained. Unemployment Relief.—The average number of relief-workers shows a slight increase over the previous year, mostly in the Nanaimo area. Cowichan-Newcastle Electoral District. General.—General maintenance has been carried out in all sections of the district in an efficient manner. Weather conditions in general were exceptionally good, summer being dry and mild winter, with very light snowfall. Some damage was caused by heavy rains during winter, necessitating river-bank protection on Cowichan River, south of Duncan. Operations.—Further work was carried out with relief labour on the Oyster Bay Diversion on the Island Highway, north of Ladysmith. Bituminous Surfacing.—On the Island Highway (Cowichan Bay Diversion) 4.28 miles were resurfaced with mulch and 1.10 miles mulched in various sections that were reconstructed the previous year. On the Primary Highway to Cowichan Lake, 1.30 miles were reconstructed and mulched. Bridges.—Cowichan Station Bridge was replaced with 100-foot creosoted Howe truss on concrete piers, and numerous other bridges were repaired and maintained as far as funds would permit. Unemployment Relief.—There was a slight increase in the number of relief-workers over the previous year. _ _ _ Comox Electoral District. Highway Construction and Improvements.—No major construction was undertaken during the year. Bunker Creek Diversion, % mile long, was started and 95 per cent, completed. This diversion did away with Bunker Creek Bridge and improved the crossing of Canadian Collieries (D.) Company Railway. Bridges.—Cooks Creek Bridge and approaches were completed. Cougar Creek Bridge, a 50-foot steel beam with concrete abutments, was built. Oyster River Bridge, a 180-foot span through Howe truss with laminated chords, was built and 12,000-yard fill approach was put in. Black Creek, a 145-foot trestle on concrete footings was built. Other bridges repaired and maintained. In November and again in December very heavy rains from Qualicum north brought all rivers and streams up, causing considerable damage and anxiety. Oyster River was over its banks, Tsolum and Puntledge Rivers at Courtenay flooded the lower ground, Island Highway was flooded in several places. China Creek Bridge went out. Maintenance of Highways.—Usual maintenance carried out on all roads, relief labour being used. DISTRICT REPORTS. P 11 Surfacing.—On the Island Highway 3.30 miles new mulch was laid (Mile 149.5 to Mile 152.8), 3.20 miles new double spray on Merville-Headquarters Road, and 11.66 miles of single respray. Ferries.—Denman Island Ferry operated throughout the year under contract with Messrs. Baikie Bros., Denman Island. Snow-removal.—No snow-ploughing was necessary this winter as only a couple of light flurries occurred. Esquimalt Electoral District. Highway Construction and Maintenance.—Two notable improvements on the Island Highway were completed during the year. These were situated on the Malahat and at Cobble Hill. The former is a relocation and grade revision, eliminating excessive curvature near the summit of Malahat Drive; the latter is 4 miles of new construction on a completely new alignment in continuation southwards of the recently completed revision from Duncan. General maintenance on all roads embraced small improvements at various points. In the immediate vicinity of Victoria the highway traffic has greatly increased in volume and weight, and is continuing to do so with considerable effect on the highways travelled. Despite this, maintenance has successfully met the situation. Road-signs have been given necessary attention. Surfacing.—Resurfacing of some improved sections of highways was carried out, but generally the scope of this phase of the work was concerned with maintenance of existing surfaced roads. Employment.—New projects of various kinds have gradually lessened the number of persons formerly without employment. It is also noted that workmen formerly relying on public works for their livelihood are now otherwise employed. It is expected that this tendency will continue. Bridges.—No new construction of note was undertaken, general maintenance was satisfactory. Weather.—Climatic conditions were mild during the winter and without snowfall or other unusual conditions. Islands Electoral District. Highway Construction and Maintenance.—The only new construction carried out during the year was a section of new main highway linking the East and West Saanich Roads. This work was carried out by the contractors for the Dominion Government to substitute for roads closed on account of airport-construction. A standard type highway was built and gravel- surfaced, to be maintained in that condition until the succeeding summer when asphalt surfacing will be undertaken. Other work carried out was in the nature of general improvement of existing roads, drainage and culvert renewals, and clearing roadsides of brush. Road-signs were given particular attention. Usual maintenance was carried on, but on some roads this was increased by reason of heavy haulage in the vicinity of Patricia Bay. Surfacing.—Attention was mainly directed to the resurfacing of weakened sections and to improving the riding quality of some portions. Nothing new was undertaken. On the Fulford-Ganges, Vesuvius, North End, and Ganges Lower Road on Saltspring Island 8.5 miles of respray-work was carried out. Traffic.—Through the year and particularly in the vicinity of Sidney and Patricia Bay, the volume and weight of traffic increased very considerably, owing to the construction-work in progress. Employment.—The general improvement in the business of the district was reflected in the rapid decline in the number of unemployed persons. In this regard it is pointed out that the Public Works office at Sidney and the Road Foreman in charge were called upon to act in the capacity of employment agencies when labour was hurriedly required in connection with Dominion Government projects. The additional time necessary was willingly given by the local officials of the Department. Weather.—The winter was open and mild without severe frost or snow. There was considerable rainfall between September and March. P 12 PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1939-40. Bridges.—The Longdon Bridge was replaced with culvert and fill and the Fulford Bridge was replaced with standard frame trestle on improved alignment. Various other bridges were repaired and maintained. Saanich Electoral District. Highway Construction and Maintenance.—No new highway-construction was undertaken during the year. Improvement was made to the main traffic route on Saanich Peninsula by widening the existing 18-foot pavement to 24 feet over a distance of 4 miles. This work has been much appreciated by road-users on this heavily travelled route. A narrow portion of the West Saanich Road having very poor visibility was much improved by work undertaken there. Two intersections on Burnside Road were also much improved. General maintenance was carried on in the usual satisfactory manner. Surfacing.—Bituminous surfacing was only carried out in conjunction with the improvement-work previously mentioned. Weather.—Weather conditions were generally such that no inconvenience or damage was caused and there was no snowfall. ENGINEERING DISTRICT No. 2 (BURNABY, DEWDNEY, NORTH VANCOUVER, VANCOUVER-POINT GREY, AND MACKENZIE ELECTORAL DISTRICTS). District Engineer, E. H. Verner, Vancouver. Burnaby Electoral District. Construction.—The construction of the Central Arterial Highway 17r was resumed under the Dominion-Provincial Agreement. Four and one-half miles from Boundary Road to Underhill Avenue were placed under contract in July. Owing to an exceptionally wet autumn and winter, the work was not completed. Grading is 95 per cent, completed and gravel surfacing 15 per cent, completed. Bituminous Surfacing.—The % mile of the Coquitlam Road 10r, reconstructed last year near Essondale, was given a double spray-coat, and an additional 0.9 mile of surfacing immediately west of this section was trued up with asphaltic mulch and given a seal-coat. On the same road through Maillardville the existing surface was widened 4 feet with asphaltic mulch. This much-needed widening is greatly appreciated by the travelling public. Snow-removal.—The snowfall was very light during the winter, and no difficulty was experienced in keeping the roads open. Maintenance.—The usual maintenance of roads and bridges was carried out. Dewdney Electoral District. Construction.—Reconstruction of the Lougheed Highway 26r on Agassiz Mountain was resumed under contract. The heavy through cut on the summit was completed and gravelled. The Wharf Road at Harrison Hot Springs was extended % mile to the new wharf built by the Federal Government. This road-work was all in rock and was completed by Department forces on a day-labour basis. Bituminous Surfacing.—The surfacing of Hammond Loop 59r was completed by giving the final Vs mile a double spray-coat. On secondary highways, Mission Municipality laid 3.50 miles of asphaltic-mulch surface, Maple Ridge Municipality laid 0.50 mile of mulch and Pitt Meadows Municipality 0.25 mile of mulch—all 18 feet wide. Snow-removal.—A very mild winter was experienced and the snowfall was light; consequently snow-removal presented no difficulties. River-bank Protection.—The protection of the west bank of the Fraser River at a point east of Agassiz was resumed on a fifty-fifty basis with the Federal Government. The work consisted of reinforcing the existing protection between the timber groynes by placing rock, and the placing of a new rock face on the bank for a distance of 600 feet below the groynes. All this work has held well. Maintenance.—The usual maintenance on roads and bridges was carried out throughout the district. o X J2 O O >1 J3 •a (3 DISTRICT REPORTS. P 13 Mackenzie Electoral District (North). Construction.—No new construction-work was undertaken during the year. Six hundred feet of road were constructed at Bella Coola to eliminate a bad curve. Maintenance.—The usual maintenance was carried out on all the roads by tax and relief workers. Widening and ditching, slashing and burning brush, several new culverts and several culverts repaired. Considerable patching of surfaced roads and many miles of gravel renewal. There was a considerable decrease of relief-workers during the latter half of the year— 35 per cent, less than at the corresponding time of the year before—due to improvement in business throughout the district. Bridges.—No new bridges were constructed during the year. One 50-foot trestle bridge, No. 35, was renewed at Bella Coola. One 60-foot trestle bridge, No. 141, was replaced with rock-fill at Vananda. One 60-foot trestle bridge, No. 181, was widened to 18 feet, using longitudinal decking on traverse ties, at Powell River. General repairs were carried out on several bridges throughout the district. Surfacing.—This work was undertaken in Powell River and consisted of a new double spray-coat for Joyce Road No. 159, 1.20 miles, and Woolgar Road No. 239, 0.27 mile. There was 0.50 mile of the Thunder Bay Road and 0.30 mile of the Lund Road resprayed and 0.21 mile of First Road resurfaced. Snow-removal.—There was no snow-removal, as there was not enough snow in any part of the district to interfere with traffic. Excessive rains between October and December caused several landslides in the Upper Valley at Bella Coola, covering the road with debris to a depth of 6 feet. At McCall Hill, 150 feet of road slid out and a narrow road was constructed by excavating around the side-hill. Mackenzie Electoral District (South). Highway Construction and Improvements.—New construction during the year totalled 1.64 miles of local and industrial roads; 9.55 miles of major reconstruction were carried out between Gibsons Landing and Pender Harbour, where the highway was widened to the standard width of 20 feet and well ditched and gravelled. The alignment was also greatly improved. New trail to the extent of 1.25 miles was also constructed. Maintenance.—Advantage was taken of relief labour to widen and ditch several miles of local road and also to carry out the gravelling programme. Surfacing.—A spray-coat and non-skid surface was applied to 0.50 mile of Beach Avenue, in the business section of Gibsons Landing. Bridges.—Minor and major repairs were carried out on bridges throughout the district; two framed trestles were converted to culvert and fills and one pile trestle reconstructed. General.—All roads and trails in the district received their quota of attention during the year and were kept in good condition for travel. Owing to the ever-increasing travel between Sechelt and Gibsons Landing, a power- grader was put into service there with very good results. In the near future serious consideration should be given to flush-coating this section. Roads passing through the various business sections in the district—amounting to 3.1 miles—received a spray-coat of tarphalt as a dust-layer. North Vancouver Electoral District. Highway Construction and Improvements.—On Bowen Island construction of 1.03 miles of farm road started last year was completed; also improvements to grade and alignment of the Cowan Road and an extensive diversion on the Grafton Road to avoid a bad washout. On the Dollarton Highway a much-needed diversion was undertaken at the Deeks Gravel Plant whereby the visibility and safety of the travelling public were greatly improved. Bridges.—Two new trestle bridges were constructed on Bowen Island and eight others repaired. On Marine Drive, West Vancouver, the replacing with steel-and-concrete structures of Sandy Cove and Cypress Creek Bridges is well under way and, on completion, this will eliminate all wooden bridges on the highway. P 14 PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1939-40. General.—All roads and trails were kept in good repair; 2.48 miles of roadway in various sections were given a spray-coat and several bus turnouts were graded and hard-surfaced along Marine Drive to facilitate the speeding-up of traffic and safety of passengers. Vancouver-Point Grey Electoral District. Highway Construction and Improvements.—No new construction was undertaken in this district during the year. General.—Continual maintenance was necessary on Marine Drive and Imperial Street to keep the rather poor surfaces in fair condition for the heavy travel on these roads, and 0.61 mile was given a flush-coat. At Fourth Avenue a new substantially built warehouse was erected, replacing the dilapidated structure that had been an eyesore for many years. ENGINEERING DISTRICT No. 3 (DELTA, CHILLIWACK, NEW WESTMINSTER, AND PARTS OF DEWDNEY AND YALE ELECTORAL DISTRICTS). District Engineer, H. C. Anderson, New Westminster. New Westminster Electoral District. The installation of a water system in D.L. 172 by the Connaught Heights Waterworks District necessitated the grading and clearing of several of the streets in this subdivision. Home-ibuilding continues in this area on a large scale, making it necessary to improve the streets generally in this subdivision as far as funds will permit. The landscaping of the north approaches to the Pattullo Bridge started during the last fiscal year was continued, resulting in the completion of the Cenotaph site and the section between Columbia Street and the New Westminster approach and the section north of the New Westminster approach. The landscaping consisted of the construction of large rockeries, flower-beds, and lawns, completed with automatic sprinkler system in all sections, resulting in a very beautiful approach in keeping with the structure itself. The work is well in progress and it is hoped during the next fiscal year that the landscaping of the north approach will be completed. Tentative plans were also prepared for similar landscaping scheme at the south approach. Delta Electoral District. Construction.—In conjunction with the Federal Government, the Trans-Canada Highway approach to the Pattullo Bridge, between Whalley's Corner and the White House, a distance of 1 mile, was graded for a four-lane highway, continuing the work undertaken during the previous year. This work was satisfactorily carried out by contract. The grading of the Peace Arch Highway, which was undertaken during the previous fiscal year under Federal aid, was completed and the gravelling of the entire section from the Trans-Canada Highway to the International Border was carried out, involving the placing of 50,000 cubic yards of crushed gravel. Three bridges were also constructed on this highway under the Federal Aid Project and the description of these bridges is referred to under " Bridge Construction." Surfacing.—Only minor surfacing-work was carried out during the year, consisting of major renewal-work. Three-quarters of a mile of the Trans-Canada Highway, Arterial 2r, was resurfaced and a section of the Ladner-Marsh Road, Arterial 80r, 1.12 miles in length, was also resurfaced. General maintenance with a special crew was carried out on all bituminous surfaces in the district. Snow-removal.—The district was very fortunate in having the lightest snowfall for many years, it only being necessary to turn out the equipment one day during the year. Bridges.—Three bridges were constructed on the Peace Arch Highway in conjunction with the Federal Government; these being creosoted pile-trestle structures with concrete abutments on pile foundations, using a creosoted wood-stringer floor system with reinforced concrete deck and curb with a roadway width of 24 feet. Pedestrian walks were also provided on one side of the structure. The Nicomekl River Bridge consisted of eleven 17-foot bays on a 4-degree curve, super- elevated for a speed of 40 miles per hour. DISTRICT REPORTS. P 15 The Serpentine River Bridge consisted of twelve 17-foot bays and the Bear Creek Bridge of three 17-foot bays. General repairs and maintenance were carried out on all other bridges in the district. The bridges at Eburne and Marpole over the South Arm of the Fraser River were satisfactorily maintained and operated, but these bridges are rapidly reaching the stage where they will have to be replaced with a more modern type of structure to take care of the ever- increasing traffic at this point. At Marpole we have approximately twenty openings of the draw-span per day, resulting in frequent congestion of traffic. Pattullo Bridge.—This bridge operates as a toll structure and enjoyed quite a substantial increase in traffic over the previous year. An interesting feature installed at the toll-gate was the sidewalk indicator system for the benefit of the public, which indicates with lights the amount of fare paid and the type of vehicle. Also automatic roadway switches were installed in each traffic lane, with an electrical recorder in the office, which provides an independent check of all traffic passing over this structure. Since the opening of the bridge more than 4,000,000 vehicles have passed over this structure. Due to the improved road approaches constructed during the past two years, traffic approaching the bridge is well distributed and the staff is able to handle same without any delay, a peak of 3,000 cars having been passed through the toll-gate in one hour's time. Alterations were made to the toll-office to provide more efficient accommodation for the staff and the hot-water heating system was extended to the toll-booths. Ferries.—Excepting for one or two trips which the ferry failed to make due to silting up of the channel of the river, the Ladner-Woodward Ferry, operated under charter, provided a satisfactory service throughout the year. The Barnston Island Ferry operated by the Department provided satisfactory service. However, due to increased demands on the small boat which we have at this point, it was found necessary to make provision for a larger boat to cope with the work. Plans were drawn up for a new vessel, and it is hoped during the next fiscal year that a new boat will be in operation and a better service provided for the residents of Barnston Island. River-bank Protection.—In conjunction with the Federal Government and the Municipality of Delta, 3,522 tons of one-man rock were placed in the banks of the Fraser River in the vicinity of Canoe Pass to protect the dykes at this point and, indirectly, the Government highways. Cloverdale Garage.—The garage continues to be a serviceable and economical asset to both Engineering Districts 2 and 3. A large amount of work is also carried out for other districts. During the year a new travelling service-truck was constructed, fully equipped for roadside repairs. This unit carries a full stock of parts and has sleeping-quarters available for the mechanic. This unit has resulted in lowering the cost of our smaller repairs generally. Plans were prepared and some material purchased for a new shed to be constructed at the Cloverdale yard during the next fiscal year. Chilliwack Electoral District. In conjunction with the Federal Government, a diversion 2.16 miles in length on the Trans-Canada Highway was constructed between Jones Creek and Hunter Creek. The road is constructed to a standard of 38 feet, complete with crushed gravel and permanent drainage structures. The completion of this work, together with work carried out during the previous year, completes the reconstruction of the Trans-Canada Highway between Jones Creek and Hunter Creek, a distance of 5 miles, eliminating two railway crossings and reducing the distance by 0.8 mile. In conjunction with the Federal Government, the reconstruction of the Clayburn-Matsqui section of the Abbotsford-Mission Highway was undertaken, a 1.65-mile section being constructed by contract. Two right angle turns and a dangerous railway crossing condition were eliminated. Surfacing.—A 1-mile portion of the Cultus Lake Road in unorganized territory was pave:! with a mulch surface 16 feet in width, completing the surfaced roadway into this popular summer resort. P 16 PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1939-40. In conjunction with the Municipality of Chilliwack, 1.85 miles of the Sardis Road, Secondary Highway 62b, were capped with a mulch surface, the original surfacing of this section being a spray-coat. Classified Highways.—The Vedder Mountain Highway through Chilliwack and Sumas Municipalities and the Vye Road through the latter municipality were declassified, owing to these roads being no longer used by other than local traffic. Owing to the increased travel on the Cultus Lake Road, the portion in organized territory, 0.88 mile in length, was classified as a secondary highway. Maintenance.—General maintenance on all highways throughout the district was carried out with generally satisfactory results, having regard to the funds available for this purpose. Snow-removal.—Because of the comparatively light snowfall, very little snow-removal work was necessary; the Hope-Rosedale section of the Trans-Canada Highway being the only portion requiring attention. Bridges.—Reinforced concrete bridge of the continuous-beam type, started during the previous fiscal year, was completed at Jones Creek. This bridge, 110 feet in length, with two main piers and two abutments, with a reinforced concrete roadway 24 feet in width, concrete curb and handrail, replaces two wooden bridges at this point. The construction of a concrete diversion-wall confining the water to one channel permitted of this type of construction. At Lorenzetti Creek, a creosoted pile-trestle structure with concrete abutments on pile foundation with creosoted stringers, reinforced concrete deck, curb and handrail, having a roadway width of 24 feet, was constructed. This bridge is similar to the type of bridge constructed on the Peace Arch Highway, with the exception that a concrete handrail was used, an extra stringer being placed on each side to provide for the additional dead weight. This makes a very pleasing and efficient type of structure and is one which I think can be built to advantage by the Department at various sites where the roadway is constructed on a final location. Numerous repairs were carried out on various other bridges throughout the district. Ferries.—The Agassiz-Rosedale Ferry, operated under charter, continued to give satisfactory service. Due to a comparatively mild winter, operation was carried on without interruption. During the summer months the seiwice was extended to 10 p.m. for the accommodation of the tourists. River-bank Protection.—In conjunction with the Federal Government and the Dyking District, 4,500 tons of one-man rock were placed along the Matsqui dyke adjacent to the Abbotsford-Mission Road, which dyke serves to protect. On the Vedder River the annual cleaning of the channel was carried out and the various loT-jam barricades used for protection were further reinforced. Dewdney Electoral District. In conjunction with the Federal Government, a small section of the Hope—Rosedale Road, 0.37 mile in length, was reconstructed; this being a continuation of the work carried out in Chilliwack under contract. In the vicinity of Mile 92 on the same highway a further diversion of % mile was constructed by day-labour forces. The balance of the Hope-Rosedale section of the Trans-Canada Highway in this district was maintained as well as the funds available would permit. This section of the road continues to be a source of annoyance to the travelling public and it is hoped that the reconstruction of this section of the road can be completed at an early date. Unfortunately, the foundations of the existing road do not permit of a surface of any kind being applied. Snoiv-removal.—A small amount of snow-removal work was carried out in this district, the Trans-Canada Highway being kept open throughout the year without interruption. Bridges.—A bridge similar in design to that at Jones Creek, described in Chilliwack District, approximately 122 feet in length, was constructed at Hunter Creek on a new alignment and grade, replacing the obsolete bridge at this point. This work was carried out very efficiently by day-labour forces. Toward the end of the fiscal year, the existing structure over American Creek having reached the end of its life, it was demolished to make way for the construction of a modern concrete and steel bridge which will be 305 feet in length when completed. A considerable DISTRICT REPORTS. P 17 amount of the foundation-work was completed. The construction of this bridge has necessitated a detour % mile in length. The construction of Texas Creek Bridge, in Yale District, was started in conjunction with the American Creek Bridge, considerable saving being effected in carrying out the two operations at once. This bridge will be a steel-beam span 45 feet in length on concrete abutments, with reinforced concrete roadway 24 feet in width and reinforced concrete cuib and handrail. ENGINEERING DISTRICT No. 4 (YALE, KAMLOOPS, SALMON ARM, REVELSTOKE, NORTH AND SOUTH OKANAGAN, SIMILKAMEEN, AND GRAND FORKS- GREENWOOD ELECTORAL DISTRICTS). District Engineer, W. Ramsay, Kamloops. Kamloops Electoral District. Maintenance.—General maintenance was carried out on all highways and tributary roads; extensive gravelling was carried out, using tax and relief workers. Advantage was taken of a mild winter to carry on grading the highways on favourable days all during the winter. Surfacing.—Spray-coat was given the Kamloops-Tranquille Road for 5 miles and the Kamloops-Cache Creek Road west of Savona for 14 miles. Recap was laid on washed out sections of the Kamloops-Tranquille Road. Reconstruction.—Completion of reconstruction projects was carried out on the Kamloops- Cache Creek Road, thus bringing 5 more miles of road up to standard ready for paving. Reconstruction was carried out at five points on the North Thompson Road, widening and gravelling. Bridges.—Many bridges were reinforced. Several stringer bridges were renewed. One major structure was reconstructed on relocation. Snow-removal.—The snowfall was light and did not cause any serious inconvenience. Yale Electoral District. Maintenance.—Work on all roads in the district was carried out as usual, emphasis being placed on the replacement of gravel surfaces as much as possible. Considerable patching, both of mulch and double flush-coat surfaces, was done. Shovel and truck crew was used from April to November, cleaning slides and widening curves on Cariboo Highway. Bridges.—Twenty-seven bridges were repaired, chiefly in the Nicola Valley area. Three large Howe-truss spans in the Cariboo Highway were redecked and rerailed. Construction.—The following projects were started and completed this year:— (1.) One-half mile relocation, Spences Bridge-Merritt Road at Rattlesnake Bluff, 3 miles east of Spences Bridge. (2.) One and one-half mile relocation, Spences Bridge-Merritt Road at Skuhun Creek, 14 miles east of Spences Bridge. This relocation eliminated two level crossings and caused the construction of a new bridge over Skuhun Creek. (3.) Aerial cable-ferry and approaches built over Fraser River between Boston Bar and North Bend by contract and day-labour. Bituminous Surfacing.—Approximately 16 miles of Cariboo Highway received a recap treatment. Snow-removal.—Snowfall in Yale District was again practically nil and ploughs were used but very occasionally. Equipment.—All machines were kept in repair during the year. New equipment-sheds were erected at Boston Bar and space alloted for the proper storage of tools and unissued stores. Salmon Arm Electoral District. Roads.—Construction-work was commenced on a 1-mile section immediately north of the North Okanagan Boundary on the Trans-Canada Highway, this work being now 80 per cent, completed. Maintenance.—The widening of the narrow rock section on Kault Hill, 7 miles west of Salmon Arm, which was commenced last year, was completed and a start was made to 2 P 18 PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1939-40. straighten and widen the section east of Kault Hill through the Indian Reserve. Considerable improvement was done to a section, 1.1 miles in length, about 1 mile west of Salmon Arm. Drainage was provided and the road-bed raised with sand and gravel from 18 to 36 inches. On the Kamloops—Vernon Road improvements were made south of Monte Lake by cutting down some steep, sharp humps and by widening and gravelling the road adjacent to the lake. In addition the usual maintenance-work of ditching, gravelling, and minor improvements was carried out on other roads in the district, using tax workers wherever possible. Bridges.—Nine new bridges, replacing old ones, were constructed throughout the district —four of these being on the Salmon River between Salmon Arm and Westwold. Several small bridges on side roads were reinforced to carry heavy logging trucks. The season's run-off was moderate and no damage was caused to any structure. Bituminous Surfacing.—At Larch Hill, east of Salmon Arm, 0.58 mile of asphaltic mulch was laid. The 3.8-mile section of mulch at Pritchard was seal-coated with a non-skid surface. Traffic Operation.—The snowfall was unusually light, the cost of snow-ploughing being only about 5 per cent, of that of the previous winter. It may be of interest to record here that road-grading was being done on the Kamloops-Vernon Road as late as the last week in December and as early as the second week in February; these being the times at which in other years snow-ploughing is usually heaviest. Ferries.—The Sorrento-Scotch Creek Ferry (G. B. Wright) was practically rebuilt, being under repair from October 3rd to December 14th. The S.S. " Whitesmith," being unfit for further service, was disposed of. Buildings.—A 16-foot extension to the existing equipment-shed was built for a paint-shop, thus eliminating the necessity of painting our equipment in the repair-shop. Revelstoke Electoral District. Maintenance of Roads.—The regular maintenance was carried out to main, trunk, and local roads with a large amount of relief labour, and work done in lieu of payment of taxes being utilized to good advantage in this respect. All main roads were graded regularly, considerable ditching was carried out, and a number of culverts renewed. Extensive improvements were made along the Revelstoke West Road; considerable brushing was carried out, and near Taft, where the highway was subject to being flooded annually, the road was elevated by a 3-foot gravel-fill. A narrow 1,000-foot section along Three Valley Lake, consisting largely of solid rock, was widened to 22 feet. Maintenance of Bridges.—Bridges were maintained as usual and a large number of structures, particularly those on the Trans-Canada Highway, were redecked and new hand- and guard-railings erected. One new bridge was constructed and two were replaced by culverts and fills. River-bank Protection.—Several new sections of pile and mattress cribbing were constructed along the Illecillewaet River to act as a further safeguard for bridges in that area. Reconstruction.—One mile of reconstruction to standard grade was carried out on the Trans-Canada Highway, west of Revelstoke. This work was done by contract. Bituminous Surfacing.—During the year, 0.30 mile of new double spray was laid and 3.81 miles resurfaced. North Okanagan Electoral District. Maintenance.—General maintenance was carried out on all highways and tributary roads, gravelling being done by tax and relief workers. Surfacing.—On the Okanagan Highway, south of Vernon, 3.77 miles of bituminous-mulch paving were laid down and 17 miles of seal-coat on the Okanagan Highway, Long Lake Road, and the streets of Lumby. Construction.—Three-quarters of a mile of narrow winding road on the Okanagan Highway was straightened and brought to standard, south of Vernon. One mile of road adjacent to Armstrong, over swampy ground, was raised and drained and brought to standard for paving. Two miles of the Vernon-Edgewood Road were ditched and gravelled and % mile of the Trans-Canada, north of Mara, was widened to standard; 1 mile at Grindrod and 4 miles of the Vernon-Edgewood Road at Lumby were gravelled and depressions brought up to grade. Bridges.—Necessary repairs were carried out and one bridge renewed. Snow-removal.—The snowfall was light, much below the average. I If ff If J! jfj il ,f f fill II II »r ^j" ■. . Kelowna Hospital. Designed and supervised by the Public Works Department. Okanagan Highway, Mile 39.5, north of Oyama. DISTRICT REPORTS. P 19 South Okanagan Electoral District. Roads.—Maintenance of roads was carried out throughout the district; many culverts were renewed, also improvement of ditches on the main highways. Bridges.—Only minor repairs were done on a number of small bridges, mainly of re- decking. Ferries.—The new ferry " Pendozi " went into commission on July 1st. This ferry has been able to take the required traffic without any difficulties. Surfacing.—Approximately 18 miles of double flush-coating were carried out in the district. Twelve miles of this were new work; the remaining 6 miles were reflush-coated. In addition, 1.6 miles of single spray were laid. Miscellaneous.—Three and eight-tenth miles reconstructed to standard width on the west side of Okanagan Lake; 1.5 miles reconstructed; 18-inch gravel-fill, Barlee Stretch, northeast of Kelowna, where 2-inch mulch surface had previously broken badly; 1.2 miles Okanagan Centre to standard width; 1 mile Rutland Road, raised and widened to standard width and reflush-coated; 0.5 mile Lakeshore Road, raised and widened and reflush-coated; total, 8 miles. Ditching: Approximately 2 miles of side ditching was done on local roads. An asphalt plant capable of storing 8,000 gallons has been installed at the Kelowna Public Works yards. Similkameen Electoral District. Snow-removal.—The snowfall was very light during the season of 1939-40, and as a result the cost of snow-removal in the Similkameen District was about $600. Bituminous Surfacing.—Total mileage treated was 7.164, as follows: 5.454 miles of new mulch was laid between Penticton north to Trout Creek; 0.10 mile was laid on Bridge Street in Princeton to a width of 36 feet—this was not completed; 0.51 mile was resurfaced in the Oliver District; in addition to which 1.10 miles of double spray-coat was put down through Osoyoos town and east. Major Bridge-work.—Consisted of filling north span at Mclntyre Creek and constructing a modern bridge of steel stringers on concrete abutments as planned by the Bridge Engineer. Other bridge-work comprised repairs to existing bridges, made as follows:— Bridge No. 178 was reinforced by placing bents under each truss beam. Bridge No. 226 over Yellow Creek was given a new deck and cross-ties, new flooring and railing. Bridge No. 126 over Keremeos Creek was given new guards, rails, and floor. Bridge No. 145 over Similkameen River at Keremeos: Piles in pier were packed with 4- by 8-inch timber, covered with $'6-inch plates bolted through the piles, with all bolts tightened and tension rods adjusted. Bridge No. 3 at Ashnola: Centre pier was repaired as instructed by Mr. Carruthers, Bridge Engineer. All other bridges were maintained as required. Major Reconstruction and Maintenance.—Major reconstruction was carried out on the Marron Valley Junction-Oliver section of the Southern Trans-Provincial Highway, with 1.4 miles finished to standard. On the Princeton-Hedley section at Mile 18, 1 mile of road was constructed on new realignment. Two rock points were taken off at Mile 3 on the Penticton- Summerland section of the Okanagan Highway. All other roads in the district were properly maintained and many minor improvements were made on the two main highways to increase room and vision for the motorist. Considerable work was done on the mining-road between Princeton and Copper Mountain; the Granby Company assisting with their own tractor and men. Grand Forks-Greenwood Electoral District. No construction-work of any major importance was carried out. Reconstruction and surfacing of approximately 15 miles of the Southern Trans-Provincial Highway and 1% miles of the Carmi-McCullough Road. P 20 PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1939-40. 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 reconstruction work on Project 16, Kingsgate-Radium, between Kimberley and the Fernie Electoral Boundary at Springbrook, that was completed last year, a distance of 13.25 miles, was mulched this year. Continuing north, this mulching programme was carried on for another 18.03 miles through a section of the Fernie Electoral District, on the east side of the Kootenay River, to Canal Flats, and then extended another 5.64 miles into the Columbia District, 36.92 miles being laid in all, with the result that we now have a distance of 125 miles of continuous pavement from the U.S. Boundary at Kingsgate north towards Radium. East of Cranbrook, on the Southern Trans-Provincial Highway, 2.1 miles were mulched, and another 2 miles reconstructed which are now ready for surfacing. No seal-coat work was undertaken this year. Little important bridge-work was undertaken, with the exception of the reconstruction of the Cherry Creek Bridge, north of Kimberley. Snow conditions during the winter were exceptionally light; 247 miles of road were kept clear, the ploughs travelling 2,713 snow-plough miles. Owing to repeated changes of temperature, sanding operations were carried out practically continuously during the winter. Fernie Electoral District. Improvements and Reconstruction.—Four miles were mulched on the Southern Trans- Provincial Highway, east of Fernie, and 18.03 miles on Project 16, also mentioned under the Cranbrook heading. Thirteen and one-half miles of the Great Northern Railway right-of-way were taken over north of the U.S. Boundary at Newgate. Ties were removed and the ballasted way graded and widened with heavy equipment. Rapidly nearing completion at the time of writing is Project 3f, on the Southern Trans- Provincial Highway, 1 mile east of Michel. Michel Creek, a turbulent mountain stream, has been placed in a new channel and the highway realigned and reconstructed to eliminate two bridges and a narrow, dangerous section of road. The total excavation for the new channel will be 90,000 cubic yards. Of this, approximately 18,000 cubic yards will be required for the construction of the highway and the balance used to build up dyke embankments. It is expected that this work, which is being undertaken by contract, will be complete before Michel Creek is in flood. Columbia Electoral District. Highway Construction and Reconstruction.—On Project 16, Kingsgate-Radium, 5.64 miles of mulch were laid, as mentioned under the Cranbrook District heading. Twenty miles of highway were reconstructed between Dutch Creek and Athalmer Junction under contract and is ready to receive the mulch aggregate this year. When this portion has been surfaced it will complete the paving from the U.S. Boundary at Kingsgate through to the Kootenay Park gate at Radium. No important bridge-work was carried out during the year. Snowfall was light and all main roads were kept open without delay to traffic. Nelson-Creston Electoral District. Reconstruction and Improvements.—During the past year considerable improvement was made in the highway system in this district. Seven and three-tenths miles of new settlers' roads were built, while 14.4 miles of the main trunk roads, 7 miles of local roads, and 10.05 miles of settlers' roads were reconstructed, or a total of 38.75 miles of roads were brought up to the standard of construction necessary for the class of traffic using them. Seventeen and eight-tenths miles of road were gravelled for the first time and 19.3 miles were regravelled. Four miles were surfaced with asphalt mulch and 9.5 miles given a double flush-coat. So that a total of 50.6 miles of road were given a higher standard of surfacing than they had in the past. DISTRICT REPORTS. P 21 Bridges.—Bear Creek Bridge, on the Nelson-Castlegar section of the Southern Trans- Provincial Highway, was replaced by a new standard bridge on concrete footings and a standard bridge built to replace the Creston-Porthill No. 2. Ten bridges were replaced by culverts and fills. Ferries.—All ferries were maintained and regular service given with but few delays and no serious breakdowns. A new ferry was built for the Nick's Island Ferry and the machinery installed by the garage crew. The north approach to the Nelson Ferry was replaced by a fill. Kaslo-Slocan Electoral District. Reconstruction and Improvements.—Major work carried out during the year includes the reconstruction of 2.2 miles of the Slocan Valley-Nakusp Highway and the elimination of several bad and dangerous curves around rock bluffs south of Nakusp on the Nakusp- Vernon Highway. The opening up of Bay Street, Nakusp, was also completed during the month of March. All these undertakings were completed by day-labour. Mining Projects.—The following mining projects were undertaken and completed during the year:— Project No. 28: Reconstruction of a road to the Silver Ridge Mine in Sandon. Project No. 15: Reconstruction of the Winslow Mine Road from Trout Lake to the Winslow Mine, a distance of 6 miles. Bridges.—The most important bridge undertaking was the reconstruction of the " A " Avenue overhead railway crossing at Kaslo. This is a pile structure 422 feet in length with a 4-foot sidewalk. Several of the larger structures throughout the district have been redecked with longitudinal flooring. Ferries.—Both the Needles-Fauquier and the Arrow Park ferries operated continuously throughout the year. Snow-removal.—The snowfall was considerably lighter than in the past several years; 233 miles of road were kept open, the ploughs travelling 4,453 snow-plough miles. Rossland-Trail Electoral District. Highway Construction and Reconstruction.—Three major reconstruction projects were undertaken and completed this year—namely, Project 8, Mile 1.86 to Mile 2.76, north from the International Boundary on the Rossland-Paterson Road; Project 13, Mile 2 to Mile 2.81, from the Trail City limits on the Trail-Pend d'Oreille Road. Both these projects were completed satisfactorily under contract. Project 3, undertaken by day-labour and a R.D.-6 caterpillar tractor and angledozer, consisted mainly of widening and increasing the visibility of the existing road from the Rossland City limits to the boundary of the Rossland-Trail Electoral District. On the Castlegar-Trail section of the Southern Trans-Provincial Highway, 10.07 miles of single flush-coat were laid. Bridges.—There was no bridge-construction in this district during the year, but a 52-foot 4- by 5-foot double culvert and fill were installed at Little Sheep Creek, eliminating a 20-foot timber structure. Maintenance.—Maintenance-work was particularly heavy during January and February, due to mud-slides and wash-outs on the Castlegar-Trail Road and the Schofield Highway. Mild weather and the heavy rains necessitated an almost continuous patrol of all highways. Snow-removal.—Owing to the unusually light snowfall, snow-removal was almost negligible, but considerable difficulty was experienced in keeping roads free of ice. ENGINEERING DISTRICT No. 6 (LILLOOET AND CARIBOO ELECTORAL DISTRICTS). District Engineer, O. P. Roberts, Williams Lake. Lillooet Electoral District. Relief-work.—No relief camps were operated in this district during the year under review. Ordinary relief-work, amounting to 2,777 man-days, was employed throughout the year on the maintenance of roads and bridges. P 22 PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1939-40. Dominion-Provincial Agreement.—Tourist-roads: Project lc, Trans-Canada Highway, Mile 208, Basque; Project Id, Trans-Canada Highway, Ashcroft Manor; Project 1e, Trans- Canada Highway, Spences Bridge easterly, were completed during the year. The work comprised the reconstruction of the 2.41 miles of the Trans-Canada Highway at the points indicated, at a total cost of $24,956. Tax Work.—In the fiscal year 1939-40 farmers' taxes to the amount of $10,405.85 were worked out on road-work. Having regard to the conditions appertaining to this class of work, reasonably satisfactory results were obtained from this work. Mining Transportation Project—Dominion-Provincial Agreement.—No work was carried out in the Lillooet District in the fiscal year 1939-40 under this agreement. Aid to Mines ("Mines Development Act").—Seventeen appropriations, varying from $50 to $400, amounting in all to $2,400, were made during the year under review. These sums were spent by prospectors and owners (in one case this Department co-operated by providing a machine and operator) in providing or improving access to mining properties. Roads Generally.—Maintenance and minor improvements were carried out to the extent permitted by the funds made available in the District Vote—Relief Work and Tax Work. In general, the use of heavier and improved maintenance machinery is resulting in a gradual improvement in road conditions throughout the year. Bituminous Surfacing.—Bituminous surfacing carried out during the year comprised the construction of 1 mile of asphaltic mulch on the Bridge River Road at Bralorne; V2 mile of spray coat at Goldbridge, Bridge River Road; and 9.6 miles of 1937-1938 mulch from Ashcroft Manor westerly was flush-coated. Bridges.—Expenditures on bridges during the year amounted to $5,995.92. This expenditure was divided as follows: Bridges reconstructed, $1,349.69; bridges maintained and repaired, $4,646.23. The largest single item of work was the repairs to the Mamquam (Washout) Bridge, which was damaged by flood on two occasions. These repairs amounted to $2,531.42. River-bank Protection.—No funds were authorized for river-bank protection in the Lillooet District in the year under review. Ferries.—The five ferries operating in this district were maintained and operated successfully throughout the year. Repairs to the foundation of the tower of the Lytton Ferry were made and the cable tightened. Snow-removal.—The snowfall in all parts of this district was unusually light during the past winter, with correspondingly small expenditures for snow-removal. A portion of the northern part of the district required some attention with snow-ploughs. One hundred and forty-nine miles were kept open at a cost of $5.95 per mile. Five hundred and forty snow-plough miles were entailed at a cost of $1.65 per snow-plough mile. North Cariboo Electoral District. General Maintenance.—General maintenance on all main and trunk highways was carried out continually throughout an unusually wet season, which necessitated considerable gravel resurfacing. The Fraser River Road south of Narcosli Creek was reconstructed through heavy timber for 3 miles, and other minor improvements were carried out. Rural roads were maintained as funds permitted, assisted by tax and relief work. Approximately 10 miles were reconstructed with the bulldozer. Reconstruction.—Red Bluff Diversion, Cariboo Highway, at Quesnel: This project eliminated the existing heavy grade and curvature of the present road and is now 80 per cent, complete. Barkerville Road: Widening and general reconstruction was undertaken near the Ketch Hydraulic and points between Wells and Barkerville. Wells Townsite: In addition to general maintenance, some gravel surfacing on recently constructed avenues and lanes was carried out. Ferries.—All ferries were maintained and operated until the middle of January; cages then being operated due to lack of ice bridges. Meanwhile, ferries were reconditioned before being refloated in April. Dominion-Provincial Mining Transportation Agreement.—Project No. 6, Barkerville- Yanks Peak: 18.5 miles of reconstruction and relocation by day-labour (2,071 man-days). f DISTRICT REPORTS. P 23 Equipment used: R.D. " 7," % cubic yard general shovel, " 40 " Cletrac with pull-grader, and three trucks. Completed. Project No. 10, Beaver Pass-Willow River Road: 7.5 miles new construction, day-labour (312 man-days). Equipment used: "60" Cat. and bulldozer, pull-grader, and two trucks. Completed. Project No. 13, Wells-Sugar Creek Road: 7 miles winter trail widened with bulldozer; day-labour (355 man-days). Project No. 27, Downey Pass Road: 5 miles general repairs; new culverts and gravelling; day-labour (111 man-days). Bridges.—No major reconstruction or new construction. Several minor structures were replaced and maintenance repairs were carried out on numberless structures. Bituminous Surfacing.—Mulch cap amounting to 18,951 square yards was laid on the Quesnel arterial, 1.16 miles. Also 2,400 square yards mulch on the approach to the P.G.E. Depot, 0.22 mile. Snow-removal.—The snowfall this year was the lightest experienced for many years. The Quesnel-Barkerville Highway received the most attention, receiving 1,136 snow-plough miles out of a total for the district of 2,234 snow-plough miles. South Cariboo Electoral District. Maintenance.—Two thousand miles of road were maintained with assistance from relief funds and tax work. The latter amounted to $14,619.59 and, where possible, taxpayers were taken into camps and employed in major gravelling renewal-work. No work was carried out in this part of the Cariboo under the Dominion-Provincial Agreement, but assistance granted under the " Mines Development Act " to the extent of $3,024.65 was utilized in constructing 1.75 miles of new trail between Horsefly-Quesnel Lake and the maintenance of existing trails to active mining operations. Construction and Reconstruction.—Twelve miles of settlers' roads along Eagle Creek were reconstructed and 7.75 miles of new road constructed to complete the portage between Mahood and Canim Lakes. Work on 4.8 miles of diversion on the Raphael-Meason Road was well advanced to facilitate communication between the south-westerly part of the district and the main Cariboo Road. Three miles of the Williams Lake Cut-off towards Soda Creek were widened and graded. Surfacing.—In the Village of Williams Lake, 0.61 mile of old spray-coat was given a mulch surface. Bridges.—No major bridge-work was undertaken. All structures received adequate maintenance. Court-house and Grounds.—Court-house grounds were graded, seeded to grass, and neatly fenced. All other buildings received necessary maintenance repairs. Snow-removal.—Snowfall was the lightest in recorded history, resulting in a low expenditure in this regard. Lack of snow protection, however, caused serious frost-heaving in the early spring, more particularly as road-beds were saturated by incessant fall rains and frost penetrated to unusual depths. No difficulty was experienced in keeping all roads open throughout the winter. ENGINEERING DISTRICT No. 7 (PRINCE RUPERT, ATLIN, AND SKEENA ELECTORAL DISTRICTS). District Engineer, J. C. Brady, Prince Rupert. Skeena Electoral District. Labour.—Adequate labour was available for all work undertaken. Relief labour was used, throughout the district where available. Highway Maintenance.—All roads throughout the district were maintained during the year. Several old culverts were replaced. There are numerous corrugated iron-pipe culverts of a small size in places. These are gradually being replaced with culverts of hewn timber and larger capacity. Throughout the year, 14,790 cubic yards of gravel were spread on the roads. Settlers were again allowed to work out taxes on roads adjacent to their own farms. The settlers were organized into gangs and much effective work was done. P 24 PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1939-40. Plank roads in Port Essington were repaired. Highway Construction and Reconstruction.—Construction of the Usk-Cedarvale section of Northern Trans-Provincial Highway was proceeded with. A contract was let to F. Mannix & Company for the construction of an additional 3.43 miles. This project is 55 per cent, complete, the end of the contract being Mile 6.73 east of Usk. Driftwood Creek Road was developed from a trail for 1.5 miles, being 100 per cent, complete for 10.5 miles. Trails.—Widening and improvements were carried out on twenty-three mining-trails during the year. Bridges.—One bridge was reconstructed, Eight-mile Bridge No. 148, Kitwanga Valley. Repairs were carried out to forty-three bridges in the district. The larger repairs were to the following structures:— Terrace Bridge No. 135: New stringers and deck to the northerly approach and four bays on the southerly approach, a total distance of approximately 460 feet. Repairs were also carried out to the timber substructure where necessary. Skeena Suspension Bridge No. 97: Rebuilt the south tower and installed auxiliary cable saddles. Hazelton Bridge No. 51: This bridge was closed to traffic on account of being unsafe. Repairs were made by placing four double bents to each 140-foot span, a total of sixteen in all. The bridge was reopened to traffic in 1940. Haguelgate Suspension Bridge No. 50 was resurfaced with tarvia retread, a satisfactory job being made. Smithers Bridge No. 98 had some of the top chords renewed and repaired and all rods and bolts checked over. Twenty-mile Creek Bridge No. 114, on the Manson Creek Trail, was replaced into position and the main chords repaired. Ferries.—Necessary repairs were carried out to the ferries during the year. Work was continued on the south approach to the Usk Ferry. It was found that after high water additional work was necessary to overcome deposits of sand in the cut. This sand made landing the ferry an awkward and laborious business. Surfacing.—Bituminous double spray was applied for the first time on the arterial and secondary highways at Smithers and Terrace, as well as on adjoining roads; 1.89 miles were laid at Smithers and 1.77 miles at Terrace. Owing to the lateness of the season when this work was started as well as the abnormally wet season, the results have not proven satisfactory. Extensive patching and repair-work will be necessary as soon as warm weather is experienced. Buildings.—The interior of Smithers Government Buildings was decorated. Garages and equipment-sheds at Smithers and Terrace were painted. The Smithers garage was wired to carry heavier shop equipment. Snow-removal.—Snow-removal was light. A total fall of 68 inches at Smithers and 22 inches at Terrace did not constitute much of a problem. Snowfall at points outside of these centres, however, was heavier. A total of 540 miles of road was ploughed, the equipment ploughing 1,485 snow-plough miles. Surveys.—Preliminary and location surveys between Usk and Cedarvale were made for a distance of about 18 miles. A traverse over the Omineca Boundary-Smithers Road No. 77 was run for 7 miles. A relocation of Babine Road No. 11 for 1 mile. Surveys to improve Laidlaw Road No. 156 for 2 miles. Relocation of new bridge-site and highway improvement on the Smithers-Moricetown Road No. 91 at Glacier Creek for 0.5 mile. Prince Rupert Electoral District. Prince Rupert and Vicinity.—New construction on the Northern Trans-Provincial Highway consisted of slashing % mile and grubbing 900 feet. At Mile 4, the road-bed has been widened to 20 feet with 30 feet on curves. Approximately 2,784 lineal feet have been widened and resurfaced with crushed rock. At Mile 6 this Kootenay-Columbia Highway, Project No. 16, looking south from Mile 58. :S:«SSJ:i;:iiia:j;i:-.:-v.' Kootenay-Columbia Highway, Project No. 16, looking north from Mile 65, Columbia Lake on right. DISTRICT REPORTS. P 25 road was widened for a distance of 1,824 lineal feet and resurfaced with crushed rock. Other curves at Mile 8 and at Mile 9 were widened and superelevation raised. Cow Bay Crossing Road was given an asphalt surface, but has had to be consistently repaired ever since; pot-holes appearing after every rain. Court-house approaches have been resurfaced with approximately 360 cubic yards crushed rock. At Port Simpson, roads have been kept in condition, repairs being made when and where necessary. The Dodge Cove Trail has been maintained. At Jap Inlet, considerable new planking and stringers have had to be replaced on the sidewalk trail. Some of the old sidewalk has been taken up and replaced with rock and clam-shell. Smith Island Trail has had new planks and stringers in places and is in fair shape at present. Some new work was carried out at Oona River, consisting of ditching, grubbing, and gravelling for a distance of 480 feet. Sidewalks have been repaired where necessary. Lewis Island Trail has been widened and improved with rock and gravel. Bridges.—Galloway Rapids Bridge No. 68 was trussed and all lateral braces and chords tightened. McBride Street Foot-bridge No. 18 was repaired. It was not trussed, but corbel braces were added. New lateral braces and rods were put in. The approach was renewed and one stairway rebuilt, with repairs to main deck. Osland Bridge was repaired, with new posts and part of decking renewed. Salt Lakes Floats and diving platform with dressing-rooms are in good repair. Some work will have to be done on the trail before the bathing season starts. Cow Bay Floats are in good repair and have given no trouble this last year. Wharves.—Prince Rupert Wharf has been adequately maintained; minor repairs and improvements were carried out as necessary. Court-house and Grounds.—The Court-house grounds have been improved by transplanting trees and shrubs. The new greenhouse is in excellent condition. In the Court-house building painting was continued, and this year the Public Works office, Small Debts Court room, barristers' room, Sheriff's office, petit jury room, and the room of the Inspector of Schools were completed. Snow-removal.—No snowfall was experienced in Prince Rupert last winter. Queen Charlotte Islands (North End).—On the Masset-Tow Hill Road, a full mile was completed between Mile 11.8 and Mile 12.8, graded and planked for heavy truck traffic, which otherwise is obliged to use the ocean beach when the tide is out. One more mile will complete this section and link up the Yakan Point section and thus avoid the beach entirely. At Miles 2 and 2.5 the road grade was raised an average of 16 inches for 1,100 feet to give better drainage to plank wheel-tracks. At Miles 1 and 1.4 planking was taken up and replaced with gravel and clam-shell, thus making a good permanent road-bed. On the Tow Hill East Coast Road repairs were done over the whole 8 miles. On the Old Masset-New Masset Road plank wheel-tracks were kept in repair. At Miles 0.1 and 2.2, planks were taken up and replaced with gravel and shell, work being done by local labour where road passes through the reserve. Streets on Masset Townsite were maintained in repair, being gravelled and graded and sidewalks renewed where necessary. Queen Charlotte Islands (South End).—Work was continued between Port Clements and Tlell in replacing plank wheel-tracks with solid earth foundation, reconstruction being undertaken from both ends. A fourth of a mile has been completed, while more than a mile is ready for surfacing. Dry gulch has been filled to replace Geikie Bridge No. 2, which is ready for removal. Standard culvert has been installed. Between Tlell and Skidegate, road has been widened at sharp corners. This road is fully exposed to the south-east storms and considerable damage has occurred on several occasions by trees being blown down and ditches filled. Considerable erosion has taken place, necessitating sundry diversions. All other roads have been maintained. P 26 PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1939-40. Bridge No. 82 on Cohoe Creek Trail was rebuilt and all bridges protected with water barrels and buckets during dry weather. Atlin Electoral District. Stikine Division.—Boulder Creek Road, Project No. 4: Work on this project was started on July 5th and, except for a short close-down pending the arrival of new caterpillar tractor with angledozer attachment, continued until the end of November. In spite of a very wet unfavourable season, this new equipment proved of great value in this construction-work. Further survey-work was proceeded with and favourable results obtained on the project. Tahltan Bridge No. 69: This important Howe truss, on the Telegraph Creek-Dease Lake Road, was completely renewed during the fiscal year. It was necessary to ship in timber from outside; work was completed in March during low water. Telegraph Creek-Dease Lake Road: General maintenance and improvements were carried out on this road, and although we experienced a very wet season traffic was maintained during the entire active season. Part of this road was in very bad condition owing to the wet season. Repairs were carried out on several small bridges and culverts on the important roads of this area. North Atlin.—Spruce Creek Cut-off, Project No. 19: Work commenced on this project August 29th and closed November 10th, when the work was completed. This part of the road is now in very good condition. Spruce Creek Extension, Project No. 29: About % mile of new road was cut out from the end of the present Spruce Creek Road. Work commenced September 25th and closed at the end of November, when funds were exhausted and end of construction season. Splendid work was done by the tractor bulldozer on this project. The road is passable, but no surfacing has been done. Whitewater Mine Road (Taku area) : Assistance was given the Polaris-Taku Mining Company, under the " Mines Development Act," in carrying out important work on this road. Considerable gravelling was done, some grading and repairs made to small bridges and culverts. General: Local roads were patched and repaired, some new culverts put in and several small bridges repaired. The Stephendike Bridge was redecked and repaired generally. South Atlin.—American Creek Trail (Pimple Section), Project No. 34: Work was under way on the " Pimple " section of this trail, with funds provided under the " Mines Development Act." The job was completed by an appropriation under the Dominion-Provincial Mining Transportation Agreement. A good pack-horse trail was built from the base of the " Pimple " to its summit, on new location. A survey was made from the end of the present tractor-road to the base of the " Pimple." This work was done under the " Mines Development Act." Bear River-Meziadin Lake Trail, Project No. 12: General repairs and improvements were carried out along the entire 25 miles of trails which extend from the junction of the Bear River and American Creek to Meziadin Lake. A new location was obtained through the Bear Pass, the glacier having receded sufficiently to allow of a new trail; the old trail passed over the ice. New trail on new location was also made through the " Cottonwoods " beyond the summit. The entire trail is now in fair condition as a pack-horse trail. Bitter Creek Trunk Trail, Project No. 8: This main trail into a mineral area was brushed out and generally improved, new culverts put in, and is now in good shape for pack-horses. The trail commences at Mile 9, Bear River Road. Glacier Creek Trunk Trail, Project No. 9: This trail giving access to an important mineral area was cleared out and general improvements made, and is now in very good shape for pack-horses. Upper Unuk River Trail, Project No. 25: Five and one-half miles of new trail were built, commencing at the upper end (camp of the Selukwe Mining & Finance Company) and proceeding on new location toward the forks of the Unuk River. A good grade was obtained which can readily be improved into a tractor-road. There are still about 2% miles of trail to be constructed to connect with the main trail. Upper Unuk-Sulphurettes Trail: Assistance was given on this trail under the " Mines Development Act " and general improvements carried out. Alice Arm Area: No extensive work was carried out in this area during the year, although light speeder traffic was maintained on the Dolly Varden Railway. Assistance on DISTRICT REPORTS. P 27 this work was granted under the " Mines Development Act," which fund also provided assistance for several prospectors in the district, as well as building a new bridge on the Upper Kitsault Trail and providing for work on the East Creek-Kinskuck Lake Trail. A small amount of work was done on river-bank protection above the Alice Arm Suspension Bridge, where the Kitsault River threatened to cut in around the east end of the bridge. Aiyansh-Nass River Valley: General improvements to local roads and trails were carried out during the year. Several bridges were redecked and repaired using local timber. The work is being divided among the settlers of the district. General.—Stewart Area: Quite a number of prospectors in this area received assistance under the " Mines Development Act." The approach to the Bitter Creek Bridge on Bear River Road was rebuilt. Bear River Road improvements consisted of brushing, patching, and several culverts put in. Gravel, sand, and other material was put in place for the contract work on the Stewart- Hyder Road hard-surfacing, but owing to very adverse weather conditions the contractors were unable to proceed with the work. As far as possible materials have been stored for future use. Work on the Big Missouri Road and on the Salmon River (Premier) Road consisted of ditching, patching, and repairs, and renewals of culverts. A reconnaissance survey of the Big Missouri-Tide Lake Road was made and a report submitted by the Locating Engineer. The snowfall this year has been very light. Traffic on the Salmon River (Premier) Road has been maintained all winter and several trips made by the plough as far as half-way on the Big Missouri Road. A new Court-house was built at Stewart, under contract, with offices for Government Agent, Mining Recorder, Court-rooms, Police living-quarters, cells, and office, and District Offices for the Department of Public Works. ENGINEERING DISTRICT No. 8 (FORT GEORGE AND OMINECA ELECTORAL DISTRICTS). District Engineer, J. W. Miers, Prince George. Fort George Electoral District. Maintenance of Hightvays.—The usual maintenance was carried out on all travelled roads in the district. Owing to a year of record precipitation, followed by a mild winter and an early break-up, considerable damage has resulted, which of necessity must be repaired during the fiscal year of 1940-41. During the previous year, farm and settlement roads were, to a considerable extent, maintained by farmers working out their taxes. Highway Reconstruction and Improvement.—Cariboo Road: Between Mileages 16.0 and 22.0, Prince George South, 4 miles were widened to 30-foot standard, of which 1.5 miles were relocated on improved alignment. Owing to weather conditions, this work was not fully completed during the fiscal year. Northern Trans-Provincial Highway: Between Willow River and Giscome 1 mile was reconstructed to standard width; on the Hansard-Sinclair Mills section major improvements were made on 6 miles, this work consisting of corduroying and filling across two peat bogs and also surfacing several miles with sand, no gravel being accessible. East from McBride, 5 miles of construction on new location was carried out near Tete Jaune and toward Mount Robson. West from Prince George, the reconstruction of the Chilako River Hill was completed and 3.5 miles widened to standard on improved alignment. Okanagan-North Thompson Highway: North from Valemount 2 miles were graded, and toward Albreda 3 miles of right-of-way were cleared and grubbed on the Lamarque location. Bridges and Culverts.—The Mud River Bridge on the Northern Trans-Provincial Highway was refloored. Twenty-one Mile and Twenty-two Mile trestles, on the Cariboo Road, were replaced by concrete-pipe culverts and fills. Several other concrete-pipe culverts of 24-inch and 36-inch diameter were also constructed, replacing old timber culverts. A total of 438 lineal feet of pile and frame trestles were reconstructed. The Beaver River Bridge, near McBride, was replaced by two 70-foot King-truss spans and three bays of pile-trestle approach. These trusses were constructed of cedar timber. P 28 PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1939-40. Ferries.—Service was maintained at Croydon, Isle Pierre, and Miworth. Snow-removal.—The snowfall was the lightest for several years and removal was carried out entirely with pneumatic tired equipment, most of the work of keeping open 196 miles of highway being done by two trucks. The cost per mile kept open was $3.40. Omineca Electoral District. Maintenance of Highways.—Approximately 750 miles of road were maintained in this district during the year. To do this, it was necessary to use men who were working out their taxes on the road. In all, $20,000 were worked out by farmers permitted to work out their taxes. Highway Reconstruction and Improvements.—On the North Trans-Provincial Highway, immediately west of Vanderhoof, 1 mile of road was reconstructed to standard width and gravelled. On the Burns Lake—Babine Road, 2 miles were reconstructed on new location. Considerable improvement was made on the Burns Lake-Francois Lake Road by way of eliminating blind curves and widening. Approximately 27,000 cubic yards of gravel were placed on the main highway and settlement roads. Mining Projects.—Manson Creek Road, Project No. 2 (contract) : From Mile 71 to Manson Creek was reconstructed and a large portion of it was gravelled. This now permits car and truck traffic from Fort St. James to Manson Creek, a distance of 120 miles, in five to six hours. Some work was also done between Manson Creek and Germansen Landing, which is about 20 miles west of Manson Creek, Old Hogem-Aiken Lake, Project No. 3: The winter road which was commenced in 1938 has now been completed to Aiken Lake. This road is cleared 20 feet wide and graded 8 feet. All small bridges have been put in. The distance from Old Hogem to Aiken Lake is 86 miles. A number of larger bridges will still have to be constructed on this route before it could be used for traffic. It would, however, be possible for winter traffic to get through at present. Germansen Landing-Aiken Lake Road, Project No. 17: This road is also for winter traffic only. The distance from Germansen to where this road ties on to the Aiken Lake Road is 23 miles. A bridge must be constructed over the Omineca River at Germansen Landing before this road can be used for summer traffic. Pinchi Lake Mercury Mine, Project No. 36: A winter road was constructed to the new mercury mine at Pinchi Lake. This road takes off the Manson Creek Road, 16 miles north of Fort St. James, the mine being 15 miles west of this point. The road constructed was of a temporary nature only, and was intended to permit the Consolidated Mining & Smelting Company to take their equipment into the mine during the winter months. It served this purpose well. Some 300 tons of mining machinery were moved to the property from Vanderhoof by trucks. This property will be in production about July, 1940. Bridges and Culverts.—Two old bridges were eliminated immediately north of Vanderhoof and replaced with double 5- by 6-foot cedar culverts. This has made a very nice improvement on the Fort St. James Road. On the Manson Creek Road, between Mile 71 and Manson Creek, eight new bridges were constructed, three of which were 60-foot King spans and two were 70-foot King spans. In all, there were 748 lineal feet of bridges constructed on this road. Other bridges reconstructed in this district were the Nourse Creek Bridge—a 60- foot King span, and the Bulkley River Bridge at Telkwa—a 53-foot King span. In addition to the above, nine other smaller bridges were reconstructed and twenty-eight others repaired. Ferries.—The ferry services at Francois Lake, Fort Fraser, Hulatt, Finmoore, and Takla Landing were well maintained throughout the year. Snow-removal.—Snowfall this year was very light and no difficulty was experienced in keeping all important roads open. In all, 463 miles of road were kept open during the winter, the average cost per mile being $11.70. Truck-ploughs were used to a large extent in this work, and only when considerable snow had accumulated on the shoulders of the roads were the tractor-ploughs put into operation. It was necessary to push such snow back on one or two occasions. DISTRICT REPORTS. P 29 ENGINEERING DISTRICT No. 8a (PEACE RIVER ELECTORAL DISTRICT). Assistant Engineer, F. J. Clark, Pouce Coupe. Peace River Electoral District. Maintenance of Highways.—Load restrictions were placed on all highways during the spring freshet; with the result of keeping them in fair condition at this time of year and helping out on maintenance costs. During the months of October, November, and December exceptional heavy rains caused numerous washouts, which ran up costs above normal. The total distance maintained on main highways was 245 miles by heavy graders and tractors, an additional distance of 74 miles on side-roads for wheat-haul was maintained by light patrol graders; numerous culverts on main highways and side-roads were repaired during the wet season in October and November, as well as ditching for offtakes. Highway Construction and Improvements.—Grande Prairie-Fort St. John-Peace Pass: From the Alberta Boundary to Pouce Coupe the policy of brushing the sides of the right-of- way has been followed; grade raised from Tupper to the Sudeten Settlement; numerous culverts installed and ditches cleaned out. From Pouce Coupe to Peace River Ferry at Taylor: Grade raised at various locations for a total distance of 6.4 miles, with new culverts, and brushing, and cleaning ditches; also improvement on roads approaching airport near Dawson Creek. Several right angle turns were eliminated and easier curvature installed at several points. Taylor to Fort St. John: Graded new approach on the north side of Peace River, cutting- down the time of ferry crossing from 20 minutes to 7 minutes; raised grades for a distance of 1.2 miles and installed new culverts. We also eased two right angle turns and put in easier curvature. From Fort St. John to Cache Creek: Finished raising grade at Charlie Lake School; cleared 1.5 miles of right-of-way on new diversion near Deep Creek; installed new culverts at various points. Cache Creek to Halfway River: Widened gravel cuts on side-hill and graded 4.5 miles with bulldozer; also cleared right-of-way for same distance; culverts have yet to be installed. Halfway River to Hudson Hope: Graded and widened approaches to the new bridge at Halfway; graded and widened from Halfway to a point near Ardill's Coulee for a distance of 5.2 miles; from Ardill's to Red River, graded 1.8 miles, but this remains to be finished from Red River to Hudson Hope only. From Hudson Hope to Gold Bar, graded side-hill directly west of Hudson Hope; crossed logged muskeg, which has to be finished this coming year; from Hudson Hope to Gold Bar maintained only. Dawson-Rolla-Clayhurst: Grade raised south of Doe River for a distance of 1.5 miles, also brushed right-of-way; graded 2 miles on the north side of the Peace River, directly west of the Moose River on side-hill; finished grading 1.8 miles south of Clayhurst and installed new culverts on same. Dawson-Moberly-Hudson Hope and branch road to' Little Prairie: This road was brushed in various places and graded as far as taxes in this district would allow; road from East Pine to Commotion Creek located for next year's work. Fort St. John-Alberta Boundary: Widened out road up the Beatton River Hill. There is a considerable amount of sandstone outcropping on this road which makes the completion of this road very slow. The remainder of this road was raised in several places as far as Cecil Lake. Rose Prairie-Hine Creek Highway: This road has been surveyed and cleared for a distance of 18 miles, 20 feet wide; this was for winter transportation only. We expect to put this up to standard as funds permit. Tupper-Hays-Gundy: Maintenance only; raised grade at the approaches to the Pouce Coupe River Bridge; widened right-of-way from Gundy store to Swan Lake. Pouce Coupe-Dawson Creek: Renewing culverts; raised grades for a distance of 3.8 miles. This applies to the north road over Dawson Creek leading into the village as well as the south road into the same village. Ditches have been deepened and considerable amount of brushing done. Roads Generally.—Many trails and side-roads were changed this fiscal year to a much higher standard; and although we have no standard constructed highways or roads in the P 30 PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1939-40. district, what we have are functioning successfully. Gravel is needed badly on the main highway, so as to make an all-weather road. The population north of the Peace River have to depend on the highway from Dawson Creek to Rose Prairie for everything and in rainy weather all traffic is tied up. Unemployment Relief.—This has helped out on our District Vote, as we get most of our culvert timber and piling from this source; however, the labour is scattered and it is difficult to get the utmost efficiency from this kind of labour. Bridges.—There has been no new construction this fiscal year; works have been confined to minor betterments, repairs, and strengthening. The high-level bridge over Dawson Creek was dismantled and the timber from same has gone into various structures. Moose River Bridge was washed out on two occasions and had to be replaced. Twenty-two small pile trestles having a total length of 1,140 lineal feet were redecked. The bridges between Dawson Creek and East Pine were all strengthened for hauling heavy oil-drilling equipment; this was under the Mines Department, supervised by our Department. Protection-work was carried out on the piers under the Howe truss over the Cut Bank River. All Howe trusses and King trusses were taken up and checked over thoroughly. Ferries.—Taylor Ferry was repainted and equipment checked over and repaired. Clayhurst Ferry overhauled and repainted as well. Cable at East Pine was tightened and repaired. Boat at Hudson Hope was recaulked and painted. The reaction ferry at East Pine is being installed; this is under the Mines Department, but under our supervision. Snow-removal.—There was very little snowfall this year, consequently our expense was below normal. The main highway from the end of steel at Dawson Creek to Fort St. John was patrolled, as well as the road from Dawson Creek to East Pine; this was to expedite the hauling of oil equipment. Maintenance of Government Buildings.—All buildings have been maintained and are in fair condition.
