Nevertheless, the past\nhas shown that necessity is not always\nsufficient argument in obtaining allocations, and it requires energetic representations frpm the member to get\nresults. Hon. W. D. Black has undoubtedly, been on the job.\n-It is interesting to note that the\nlargest allocation, $269,000,-is for projects in the Peace River, the great riding that is drawing B. C. eyes northward. The development requirements\nof the North ate tremendous, and as\nactivities and settlement expand will\njpjvide the South with a real rival for\nttention.\nDetails of projects planned for this\nIding will not be known until the\niublic Works Minister, Hon. Philip A.\nGaglardi, announces his estimates.\nHowever, there will be a welcome\nthroughout the riding to the news that\ndbmpletion of the Creston-Salmo cutoff survey is expected. Paving of the\nWynndel-Kuskanook section of 1tfo. 3\nitighway along the East shore of JCoot-\ntfpay Lake will complete one of the\nmost scenic drives in Canada. And with\nst new ferry ready to go into service\nijfith MV*Anscomb before the tourist\nS arson, the bottleneck along this tour-\nt route will be broken at least for the\njyesent. All in all, if the estimates live\nl%> to the expectations aroused by the\nMinister's announcement of the works\nallocation, this riding will feel some\ncertainty that its needs, at least as they\nfit into the requirements of the overall\nItrovincial highways pattern, are receiving attention.\nThe next good news we hope to\nime from Victoria will be announce-\nient that the government and bridge\nsibthority have given the go-ahead to\nobnstruction of the West Arm bridge.\nt r\ni Welcome Improvement\nlj If the city's proposal for 800 block\nof Victoria Street envisions alleviating\ntne hazards of the present two-level\ns|reet it will certainly win the ap-\nfoval of all who have to drive in the\nea.

'\nSir-^I see by reading .the March 10 Dally\nNews the awful calling down our B.C. premier\nis getting trom all the other political parties\nfor his decision to Increase the sales tax by\ntwo per cent. I note Mr. Johnson, Liberal, and\nMr. WebsteV of the CCF, and also the Progressive Conservative party,\"are all fighting mad,\nand the unions are now threatening to go out\nagain on more strikes.\nWhat a ridiculous thing over a paltry raise\nof two per cent to cover up some iniquities\ncaused by someone named Boss Johnson on\nthe foolish BCHIS deal,.and all the co-Insurances and other silly insurance encumbrances\nwhich wore unjust from the start anyway. For\nmyself, I had to keep a steady hospital insurance policy to cover my family in a private\nassociation. It has only been a silly thing from\nthe start, BCHIS, and we are all well off.to\nlet It alone, as lt certainly smells bad.\nI really think Mr. Bennett Is wise to put\nall the money he can raise and spare into the\nrailroads and roads with the added number of\nautos on the go. It would be a real good polhy\nto straighten out and cut off all short turns\nand generally improve all of our roads and\nput some of the rusting graders and bulldozers,\nto say \"farthing of'unemployed working union\nmen, to work on something useful instead of\nthem striking for higher wages and sending\nthe general prices still higher while their\nwomen and children go short at home. By so\ndoing it would save car accidents and dea'rhs\non the roads, and the railroads would open\nup the B. C. hinterland to some good purpose\nand encourage development.\nI have long advocated ending the wastage\nln good timber by the steady cutting of it into\npulpwood for paper and such. Instead of wasting- and burning old cartons, magazines in&\npapers that clutter up the whole country by\nthe carloads, why could not: the government\nput men to1 collecting it for sale back to Ihe\npaper boys to put in acid tanks, and save a 'ot\nof good standing timber?\nI don't expect the Social Credit government is perfect, but certainly all the others\nhave never been perfect, either. So why not\ngive them a chance and judge them on their\nmerits, as so far they have had no chance. I\nremain sincerely yours.\nA- G. WATSON.\n310 Observatory Street,\nNelson, B. C. A\nWhy By-Pass No. 6? '\u25a0'\u25a0.\nTo the Editor:\nSir\u2014I would first like to say that the views\nexpressed here are entirely my own.\nI noticed an article in your worthy paper\nrecently in which it was stated that the Associated Boards of Trade of Eastern British\nColumbia had supported a proposed route\nthrough the Jumbo Pass. This is not substantially correct, and I quote from the resolution\npresented as follows: \"Resolved that the \u2022Provincial Government make a complete SURVEY\nas early in 1854 as possible.\" It will-be seen\nthat this is at present a request for a survey.\nIn the article referred to above, an alternative road was suggested, that of \"South of\nNakusp to Rock Island, crossing the. Arrow\nLakes by bridge or ferry, through Sugar Lake\nand on to Vernon.\" For quite some time Nakusp has been pressing for' standardization,\nand blacktopping where feasible, of No. 6\nHighway from Slocan Junction to Monashee\nPass. Why in the name of conrunon sense bypass this highway, which is now a year-'round\nroute to Vernon, and is being improved\nyearly? All that is required to serve the Arrow\nLakes north and south Is the connecting link\nfrom Edgewood to Robson, etc.\nIt is inevitable that In our march of progress a few wiil be hurt. This always happens;\nso we have to consider the adage, \"The greatest good to the greatest number.\" '\nI am refninded that we are in danger of\ncommitting the error that the late'Hon E.\nCarson accused us of; namely, \"We do not\nknow what we want.\"\nHaving therefore already decided th the\nobvious route to press for, let us at least be\nconsistent and stay with it,. not jump \u25a0 fom\none route to another willy-nilly; lt will tten\nbecome a reality.\nJAMES HARDWICKE.\nFauquier, B.
