H. KING,\nMinister of Public Works.\nWorks Department,\nVictoria, B.C., \u25a0January, 1920.    PUBLIC WORKS REPORT.\nREPORT OF PUBLIC WORKS ENGINEER.\nParliament Buildings,\nVictoria, B.C., December 5th, 1919.\n.\/. E. Griffith, Esq.,\nDeputy Minister of Public Works.\nSir,\u2014I have the honour to submit the following general report on the operations of the\nPublic Works Department for the fiscal year 1918-19:\u2014\nOrganization and Supervision.\nThe efficient results being obtained from the new system continues to justify the employment\nof District Engineers in responsible charge of well-defined engineering districts. Through their\ngood offices many contentious matters of long-standing dispute have been settled and other\ndeferred questions finally disposed of. In this way the Engineers have had more time in which\nto better their organization and to compile engineering data for purposes of comparison, as well\nas for future reference. Great benefit has resulted from the increased supervision rendered\npossible under the present administration ; not only has better work been done more economically,\nbut much useless and unnecessary work hitherto undertaken has been eliminated.\nThe cost of outside supervision for this year was 7.68 per cent., as compared with 7.1 per cent,\nfor the previous year. This is reasonable, considering the greatly increased number of inquiries\nfrom incoming settlers for new roads, the enhanced cost for transportation, and the higher wages\nand salaries which had to be paid. There should also be taken into account the much necessary\nand beneficial work undertaken in connection with office organization and record-keeping, for\nwhich no credit can be allowed in a mere proportioning of supervision charges, based upon the\nexpenditures for actual work done on roads, bridges, etc. It is possible to unnecessarily increase\nthe cost of work either through lack of supervision or owing to incompetent supervision, thus\nunnaturally reducing the percentage cost of supervision.\nIn my frequent tours of inspection throughout the Province I have personally examined many\nproposed new works, inspected works in course of progress, and investigated several problems\ninvolving difficulties and disputes. I have therefore every reason to speak most favourably of\nthe present system of field administration. Results will speak for themselves as the organization is perfected and works carried out only as they are justified by circumstances and under\nsome well-defined plan.\nDuring this fiscal year, although there was a greatly increased number of communications\nfrom the public generally and innumerable technical reports from the District Engineers to deal\nwith, the office-work, particularly of the engineering branch, was greatly improved. Numerous\nDepartment forms for keeping cost records and other useful data and several standard specifications and plans were prepared, all with a view to standardizing the work of the Department as\nfar as practicable.\nRoads and Trails.\nAs in the few years previously, the work was confined chiefly to maintenance and improvement of existing roads and trails, new construction-work having been undertaken only where\nnecessary to meet the urgent demands of settlers and others.\nAs will be particularly noted from the accompanying reports of the District Engineers, work\nwas usually carried out on the principle of doing what would benefit the majority of settlers or\nthe public generally. More work was undertaken this year in conjunction with municipalities\non recognized trunk roads, several miles of hard-surfacing having been satisfactorily completed.\nMost of the preparatory work in connection with such fairly permanent improvements was\nefficiently carried out by the various municipal day-labour gangs, the actual surfacing being done\nby contract. The bulk of the general road-work was carried ont by day-labour, although in many\ndistricts there was the usual scarcity of labourers. All the returned men that applied or could\nbe found were employed, as many as 750 returned men having been at work at the same time\nthroughout the Province. J 6 Public Works Report  (1918-19).\nAs usual, this Department carried out work on the mining roads and trails for the Department of Mines, approximately .$120,000 having been spent under our supervision. Considerable\nwork was undertaken this year on surveying existing roads with a view to improvements of\ngrades or alignment, as well as locating prospective roads. The engineering staff is endeavouring\nto confine, where possible, expenditures of any extent to sections of roads that are on good\nalignment or practical grades, any reconstruction work or new work being invariably carried out\non some proper survey. In time such a policy should make for an efficient road system as well\nas ensure considerable saving.\nElsewhere details of the mileage of roads and trails are given for each electoral district.\nIt is hoped to further segregate the roads into the various classes of construction. Altogether\nthere have been very marked improvements carried out on the roads generally, considering the\ncomparatively small appropriations available and the increasing high cost of labour and\nmaterials.\nBridges.\nAs will be noted from the details of the contracts included in the annual statements of\nexpenditure, much more work (chiefly on new structures) was undertaken this year by contract.\nSome reconstruction and all the maintenance work was carried out by day-labour. Considerable\nattention is now being given to the proper location of new bridges; many old bridges have also\nbeen rebuilt on improved sites\u2014where practicable, one new bridge being put up to take the place\nof two old ones. In important structures Coast fir of the best quality is used, the material being\nsubject to careful tests by competent Inspection Engineers. The erection of all bridges is under\nthe general supervision of a highly competent Provincial Bridge Inspector, who also makes at\nleast one inspection annually of all existing bridges, submitting reports and recommendations\nthereon. An endeavour is being made to replace bridges, where practicable, with large culverts\nand earth or rock fills, thereby tending to reduce the heavy annual maintenance charges.\nAlthough the sum of $488,500 was allocated for bridges generally, only $432,334.22 was spent,\nthe aim being to reduce the cost of maintenance consistent with the safety and convenience of\nvehicular traffic. Our financial requirements for bridges have been somewhat increased owing\nto the Provincial Government carrying out repairs on or renewing portions of several bridges\non the North Arm of the Fraser River, originally constructed by the Government some years\nago and later takeii over by the interested municipalities.\nWharves.\nIn view of the proposed transfer of the Provincially owned wharves to the Federal Department, the expenditure on wharves was confined to absolutely necessary repair to safeguard the\ntravelling public. The total expenditure on wharves this year was $44,091.40, exclusive of\n$2,859.30 spent on the construction of serviceable floats at Cow Bay, Prince Rupert.\nFerries.\nIn addition to the numerous improvements carried out at\" the existing ferries, new ferries\nwere installed at the following points: Castlegar, on the Columbia River; Terrace and Usk,\non the Skeena River; Hnlatt and Braeside, on the Nechako River; and at McClnre, on the\nNorth Thompson River. Most of these ferries were pontoons operated by current. The Government also subsidized the R.M.S. \" B.X..\" which operates during the open season on the Fraser\nRiver between Soda Creek and Quesnel. According to the monthly detailed records submitted,\nthis steamer .is carrying considerable freight traffic and is generally meeting the needs of the\nsettlers pending the extension of the Pacific Great Eastern Railway. The cost of all Government\nfreight carried was deducted from the subsidy. Many new appointments as ferrymen have been\ngiven to returned men.\nRiver-bank Protection.\nIn view of the enactment of the \" River-bank Protection Act,\" wherein power is given the\nLegislature to levy special taxes to cover the cost of protective works where required and\napproved, comparatively little work of this nature was attempted this year.\nEngineers' Conference.\nThis annual conference, which this year was also attended by some of the Assistant District\nEngineers, again proved very beneficial,  alike  to the  inside  and outside  engineering  staffs. 10 Geo. 5 Report of Engineer, District -No. 1. J 7\nInteresting and instructive papers bearing on their every-day work were read and discussed,\nand matters of mutual benefit to our own and to the other closely allied departments were gone\ninto and progressive programmes outlined.\nHerewith I have pleasure in submitting the District Engineers' annual reports, from which\nmuch useful information will be obtained. Such reports serve to illustrate the different conditions obtaining in the different districts, and hence the need for technically trained Engineers\nto help solve the many varying problems.\nThe individual reports of the Supervising Architect, the Inspector of Machinery and Boilers,\nthe Inspector of Electrical Energy, the Inspector of Factories, and the Inspector of Dykes are\nalso submitted by the heads of these departments, all of which are in a good state of efficiency\nunder their capable administration.\nOnce more I am glad to take this opportunity to record the assistance and co-operation\nrendered me by the various officials of the Department, whose work has been so generally\nefficient as not to admit of singling out any one in particular. We all seem to be working\nharmoniously together for the general good of the Department, the efficiency of which is yearly\nincreasing.\nAccompanying this report are details of the expenditure on roads, trails, bridges, ferries,\nwharves, and public buildings, together with other miscellaneous data relative thereto.\nAll of which is respectfully submitted.\nYours obediently,\nA. E. FOREMAN,\n0\nPublic Works Engineer.\nREPORT OF ENGINEER, DISTRICT No. 1.\nDistrict Engineer's Office,\nParliament Buildings,\nVictoria, B.C., November 24th, 1919.\nA. E. Foreman, Esq.,\nPublic Works Engineer, Victoria, B.C.\nSir,\u2014I beg to submit the annual report for above district.\nOn taking over the district in December, 1918, I found the roads leading to and from cities\nand towns in a very bad condition. It was quite evident from the large number of motor-vehicles\nthat the old system of gravelled roads was now out of date. Motors destroy the crust of gravel,\nsink into the clay underneath, making it practically impossible to mend roads during wet weather.\nThe year had been a wet one, especially during the late spring, and the repair costs were\nhigher than had been provided in the appropriations.\nThere was a large amount of tourist traffic from the United States over the main highways,\nwearing out roads that were short of the proper amount of gravel. In spite of all these adverse\nconditions, by constant attention to the worst places the roads on the Island compared favourably\nwith roads elsewhere.\nIncreased Costs due to Increased Motor Travel.\nThe constant wear to gravelled roads, combined with tlie continued scattering of gravel,\nplaced on the roads, into the side-ditches, increases maintenance costs three or four times what\nthey would be under former conditions with horse-drawn vehicles. It is difficult to determine\nthe exact ratio; the iron tire acts as a roller and compacts the gravel into a cemented mass;\nthe rubber tire does the opposite.\nWhen roads are soft in very wet weather a driver does not take his team out unless it is\nunavoidable, whereas a car-driver is protected by an overhead covering. If there is a rut in the\nroad he sticks to it; the next car does the same, and water increases the damage by either\ncollecting in or running down it.\nChanging speed or gears, the rear wheels scratch the road-surface to a greater depth in wet\nthan in dry weather; the hind wheels on horse-drawn vehicles do not scratch a road unless the\nbrakes are set hard. J 8 Public Works Report  (1918-19).\nThe economical solution, is permanent pavement, construction cost of which is high, but\nmaintenance costs low.    With gravelled roads the opposite is true.\nIf a permanent paving programme could be arranged for the next five years with the amounts\navailable for each year it is reasonable to assume that construction costs would go down. Wages\nmight still be high, but contractors and their employees would become more familiar with this\nclass of work and they should be able to lay more in a day than untrained men.\nA programme of this kind would provide steady work for many returned citizens and others,\nand train them in the proper handling of cement in various ways for permanent works. This\nshould lead to economy in handling and mixing cement. Increased motor licences would, of\ncourse, be necessary for a scheme of this kind, and it is reasonable to assume that motorists\nwould be more willing to pay twice the present fees if they felt assured of good hard-surface\nroads.\nIncreased Cost of Work.\nThis is chiefly due to increased wages, shorter hours, lack of modern road plant, as well as\nthe difficulty of getting men owing to the numbers who had left their homes to go to the war\nand others who were attracted by the high wages in lumber camps, shipyards, and other trades.\nIncreased Annual, Damage to Roads.\nThis is entirely due to motor travel; private cars travelling at high speed scatter newly\nplaced gravel before it has been properly set on the road-bed. They also destroy the hard surface\nof*a gravel road in wet or dry weather, sucking up the smaller particles which help to cement\nthe gravel together into a hard surface. Heg.vy trucks with solid tires do not throw out the\nsmaller particles mentioned above, but in wet weather destroy the hard surface of gravel beyond\nrepair by crushing through it. Loggers are finding it more economical to haul logs along the\npublic roads on motor-trucks or trailers than it is to build skid-roads, but they should not be\nallowed to haul their heavy loads over the main highways, as they have to keep in the centre\nof the road, forcing the travelling public sometimes into the ditch.\nFloods.\nOwing to heavy floods some of the larger bridges were washed out, notably the Salmon River\nBridge. The Sooke River Bridge was saved by constant watching and clearing out log-jams\nbefore there was too much accumulation of logs, trees, and driftwood. Roads also suffered owing\nto culverts becoming blocked with driftwood and rubbish.\nLabour Conditions.\nWages were increased, but labour for road-work was difficult to get in some sections.\nWomen worked on the roads in the Courtenay District; their work was entirely satisfactory\naud much rivalry existed between them and the men working near by as to the amount of work\ndone.\nRoad Drags and Graders.\nThese machines are of great service in replacing gravel thrown out by motors and filling\nruts, but it has been difficult to get some foremen to understand the value of these machines.\nIn almost every case where the public complain of poor roads it has been found that the foreman\nhas not made use of the grader at the right time.\nRepairs to Permanent Paving.\nFrom Parson's Bridge to Colwood Hotel, the section upon which a rocmac pavement was\nlaid, was materially improved by surfacing with 2% inches of asphaltic concrete, thus increasing\nthe life of the pavement very considerably.\nBridges.\nStandard designs to carry 15-ton loads are of much benefit, but much difficulty was found in\nsecuring competent bridge-framers who understood framing trusses in a thorough workmanlike\nmanner. Some who claim to be truss-framers are found to be lacking in experience, and the\nresult is poor joints and either too much or too little camber. \u25a0*~l \\ ,.;1fc\n\u25a0\u25a0\u25a0: :    .    -   ' ......

J 9\nWidth of Roads.\nMost of the main and all side roads have now too narrow a road-bed for motor travel. In\naddition to maintenance costs, sums have to be set aside each year in the appropriations for\nwidening. This increases maintenance charges for the extra width and will increase year by\nyear until permanent paving has been laid, when maintenance and widening cost will drop to a\nvery low figure.\nRespectfully submitted.\nYours obediently,\n, , A. E. Hodgins,\nDistrict Engineer.\nREPORT OF ENGINEER,  DISTRICT No. 2.\nDistrict Engineer's Office,\nCourt-house,\nVancouver, B.C., October 29th, 1919.\nA. E. Foreman, Esq.,\nPublic Works Engineer, Victoria, B.C.\nSir,\u2014I beg to submit the annual report for above district.\nIn Delta and Chilliwack Districts the greater portion of maintenance was centralized on\nthe Yale Road (or Provincial Highway) and the Pacific Highway. By reason of the great\nvolume of traffic\"these highways have been subjected to heavy wear, demanding continuous\nmaintenance.\nThe problem of repair was rendered somewhat difficult on those portions which were\nmacadamized some years ago, particularly on the Pacific Highway between Clayton and Blaine.\nNo funds were available for scarifying the surface and applying crushed rock, so that the entire\nsurface of the old macadam was coated with gravel;  the results being satisfactory.\nIt can be laid down as a final rule that, unless bituminous surfacing is contemplated withiii\na reasonable period, no trunk road should be macadamized where gravel is available. In fact,\nthat portion of the Provincial Highway through the \" Green Timber \" is ideally suited for hard-\nsurfacing in its present condition, using the present base; the drainage is excellent; the surface,\nalthough pitted,#is regular. The quality of gravel used in maintaining this portion is excellent,\nbeing of a fine sandy loam, deceptive in appearance, but splendid in results.\nParticular mention should be made of that portion of the Yale Road from Abbotsford to\nVedder Mountain, the continual careful maintenance of this section during the fiscal year having\nshowii good results. At high water this road is closed to traffic on the section across Sumas\nPrairie, and until the proposed reclamation of Sumas Lake is completed the road will be a source\nof annoyance to the travelling public. During the fiscal year the Vedder River protection-work\nwas practically completed, the type of construction adopted to divert the river having been amply\njustified, judging by observations made during flood periods.\nOn bridges very little work, other than the usual minor repairs, was required in Delta and\nChilliwack Districts, the Canoe Pass Bridge being the exception. It was found necessary to\nstrengthen three pile piers and place approximately 200 tons of rock around same to prevent\nscour. It will be necessary to make careful surveys of the channel for a better location of this\nbridge.\nOf ferries in Delta and Chilliwack Districts\u2014Agassiz-Rosedale, Harrison-Chilliwack, Mission-\nRiverside, Barnston Island, and .Ladner-Woodward\u2014the former and latter are of special note.\nThe volume of traffic on the Agassiz-Rosedale is such that arrangements are now in progress\nto discontinue the present service and transfer the Mission Ferry to this point. This will entail\na large expenditure for landings, etc.\nThe Ladner-Woodward Ferry: \" William H. Ladner \" is at present operated at the Government's expense without charge to the travelling public. This boat has proved entirely inadequate\nfor the traffic and a large boat is now undergoing alterations to equip same for the increased\ntraffic. It is proposed to make a charge for all passengers, etc., using the ferry, and this will\nproduce a revenue which it is hoped in time will cover the operation and maintenance costs. J 10 Public Works Report  (1918-19).\nThe Mission Ferry has given efficient service during the year. In order to take care of\nincreasing traffic it is proposed to build a larger ferry along the same lines as the present one.\nThe landing at Riverside will require a careful survey in order to eliminate the present circuitous\nroute, necessitating a large annual cost for maintenance.\nIn North Vancouver District little, save routine repairs, was undertaken on the roads. Since\nlast fiscal year there was an increase in the expenditure on the Gibson-Sechelt Landing and\nSquamish Valley sections, caused by the increase in automobile traffic in these sections. The\nappropriation for this district was sufficient to cover all the necessary requirements and also to\nmake a great improvement to the existing main roads.\nIn Pemberton Meadows high-water conditions obliterate any improvements done on the\nroads and causes damage which will take time and money to rectify. Each year's appropriation\nis used in making good the damage done by intermittent floods. Proper river-bank protection\nwill alone overcome this condition.\nIn South Vancouver District an asphaltic concrete pavement on macadam base was continued\non the Hastings-Barnett Road for a distance of 0.4 mile; this work was done on a 50-50 basis\nwith the Corporation of Burnaby; the work was delayed until late in the season, but altogether\na satisfactory job was made.\nAn asphaltic concrete pavement on macadam ba^ was laid on Fraser Avenue for a distance\nof 0.3 mile.\nRichmond District.\u2014In this district hard-surfacing was carried out on No. 3 Road, Lulu\nIsland, in the Municipality of Richmond, the latter corporation bearing half the cost. The\nMarine Drive through Government lands was resurfaced with asphaltic oil and screenings and\nthoroughly repaired. This work has made a splendid improvement on the surface of what is a\npopular tourist road.    In addition, the usual maintenance was carried out.\nFerries generally.\u2014A small scow current ferry was installed on the Upper Lillooet River for\nconvenience of some settlers and is operated by travellers free of expense.\nBridges, North Vancouver.\u2014The usual maintenance was carried out, small expenditures\nbeing made for plank renewals.\nMinor bridges were built in Squamish Valley and Pemberton Meadows where existing\nculverts proved inadequate.\nIn Richmond District the only work of note carried out was the renewal of two Howe trusses\ncomposing part of the North Arm Bridge over the Fraser River _; the remaining part of the\nstructure was thoroughly overhauled and put in first-class condition.\nThe mechanical wear on the deck being abnormal, it is proposed to lay a bituminous surface\non a portion of the Eburne Bridge as an experiment, the effects of which will be interesting and\ninstructive.\nDewdney, District.\u2014The greatest volume of traffic is on the Main Dewdney Trunk Road,\nalmost 90 per cent, of the distance being within organized territory. One notable fact in connection with this road is that a great majority of freight which formerly was carried by, the\nrailway is now taken by the road on heavy motor-trucks. These travel at high speed and an\nincrease in the number of these vehicles is looked for. While the advent of the truck is a\ntribute to the condition of the road, it can be plainly seen that a more permanent surface is\nrequired on the Dewdney Trunk Road.\nThe section between Westminster and Coquitlam has now been resurfaced with asphaltic\noil and screenings. While this surface is good for light traffic, it will not stand the increased\ntruck traffic. Therefore the municipalities through which this road traverses should awaken to\nthese new conditions and welcome, rather than deplore, the advent of the motor-truck as a\ncarrier, and prepare the trunk road to stand the heavier traffic. The opportunity of expeditiously\nreaching a good market now confronts the producer and there can thus be no better expenditure\nthan that for permanent roads.\nGeneral Foreman Wylie in his report states : \" The great majority of freight from Maple\nRidge, Pitt Meadows, and Coquitlam is now diverted from the Canadian Pacific Railway and\nis carried in very heavy motor-trucks, which travel at a high speed and will destroy any road\nother than a hard surface.\"\nOf $32,040 allowed for maintenance, $30,567.07 was spent within the Municipalities of Port\nMoody, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Pitt Meadows, Maple Ridge, and Mission. As a comparison,\n$360 was the cost per mile for maintenance in organized territory, while in unorganized territory\nthe cost was $210 per mile. 10 Geo. 5 Report of Engineer, District No. 3. J 11\nThe most important work undertaken on roads was the loco Road, which connects the\noil-refinery with Port Moody. The old road was in ail impossible location and had to be\nabandoned. The new road, when completed, will give good access to the Imperial Oil Company's\nplant and to the settlers at Sunnyside. Considerable success has been attained with the continual\nuse of the Nicomen rock. With the use of scows and trucks this material had been transported\nto the Pitt River Bridge. It is proposed to bind this material with asphaltic oil and excellent\nresults are expected.\nIn Yale District attention was principally paid to main trunk roads, all of which were\nmaintained in a fair condition.\nThe Spences Bridge-Merritt Road has been a source of continual trouble and expense, due\nto slides, particularly the \" 3-Mile \" and \" 9-Mile \" slides. In order to keep the road open it is\nnecessary to have a patrolman continually at these points. It is proposed to build sheds on the\nsame principle and performing the same function as snow-sheds on railways in order to carry\nthe gravel, etc., over the road.    This appears to be the only solution.\nThe bridges throughout the district were maintained in good repair.\nGenerally, I cannot submit a report which will do justice to this engineering district, as my\nterm of office as District Engineer began when the fiscal year ended. From experience gained\nto date I know that the assistants in all the electoral districts have carried out their work\nconscientiously and with tact. The public require to be educated so that they might understand\nthe new order of things\u2014namely, that the Department was endeavouring to spend public money\nwhere most warranted. In many cases long trips were taken to see individuals who petitioned\nfor work which from preliminary inspection could not be ascertained. The trouble taken in these\ncases was, however, justified, and the particular individual had the satisfaction of knowing that\nhis case was not condemned without a fair hearing.\nRespectfully submitted.\nP. Philip,\nDistrict Engineer.\nREPORT OF ENGINEER, DISTRICT No. 3.\nDistrict Engineer's Office,\nKamloops, B.C., December 19th, 1919.\nA. E. Foreman, Esq.,\nPublic Works Engineer, Victoria, B.C.\nSir,\u2014In the Kamloops District during the fiscal year 1918-19 practically the total road vote\nwas expended in gravelling and general repairs. The repairs consisted of 170 miles of grader-\nWork and the replacing of 119 culverts of various dimensions, besides patch-work, filling in\nwash-outs, etc. During the season 21% miles were gravelled to an average width of 12 feet.\nThe motor traffic during the season increased to such an extent that it was almost impossible\nto keep up the roads with the equipment and money available. The winter remaining open, the\nroads required constant attention, which in a hard winter would not have been necessary; owing\nto this fact the winter expenditures were very heavy.\nThe only new road constructed during the year was in the Rose Hill section, and is known\nas the Demmon Greeu Road, a mile and a quarter iii length and cost $781.75.\nThe heavy repairs to bridges during the year were divided between the Kamloops East and\nWest Bridges and the renewal of the bridge across the Barriere River. The Kamloops East\nBridge was redecked throughout with two tiers# of 2 x 12 inches, one tier at right angles and\nthe other diagonally. On the West Bridge 871 feet of the deck was renewed, and it was also\nfound necessary to renew many of the old joists. A new 75-foot standard Howe truss was\nerected over the Barriere River alongside the old structure.\nThe Indian reserve trestle near Kamloops was replaced by a fill of 12,230-cubic yards, and\nthree culverts, 6 x 36 x 6 feet, placed in the fill at a total cost of $7,497.49.\nAssistance to the extent of $1,000 was granted the Granby Consolidated Mining and Smelting\nCompany towards the erection of a standard 65-foot king-truss span across the Seymour River. J 12 Public Works Report  (1918-19).\nDuring the year nine ferries were operated throughout the season. Two new ferries were\nbuilt, making a total of eleven, one of which was operated for part of the year. The ferries at\nClearwater and Blackpool had to be practically rebuilt through damage caused in high water.\nTaking the ferries altogether, a very good service was given the public.\nIn Lillooet District the year 1918-19 was averagely dry, with very high winds and heavy\nlocal storms during the year, making it very difficult to hoid to appropriations on individual\nroads segregated in the early part of the year. In the early spring a warm wave cut off the\nsnow, causing considerable damage to roads by undermining and washing out portions of them\nfrom under a frozen surface. In June a heavy wind-storm filled and closed fourteen roads in\nEast Lillooet, taking a gang of men two weeks to get them opened for traffic. Later in the same\nmonth there was exceptionally high water in the Fraser River and several of the roads were\nbadly washed, Big Bar-Empire Valley and Woods Bar-High Bar being cut away in places. In\nJuly there were several cloud-bursts, causing the Lillooet-Lytton Road to Jbe closed three times;\nonce the damage covered one mile south and along the big slide, and consisted of wash-outs, rock,\ngravel, and slum deposits on the road at points 7 feet deep. Big Bar Road was washed and\ndamaged over three miles, the bridge at Neas Ranch was completely carried away, fences were\ntorn down and carried to the creek, and deposits 3 and 4 feet deep with all kinds of boulders\nwere left on the road. On the Woods Bar-High Bar Road the wash was so heavy that about\nsix miles of road was almost obliterated. On the Lillooet-Clintoii Road a short piece was\ndamaged at the 17-Mile Ranch; Clinton.-Alkali via Kelly Lake, Clinton-Alkali, Chilcotin Main,\nCanoe Creek-Churn Creek, and Big Bar-Big Bar Mountain were all more or less damaged; and\nthe Clinton Hill-Cariboo Main Road was badly cut out. In August a heavy wind-storm occurred\nin the Deadman Creek section, closing several of the roads. The above unforeseen damage cost\n$10,712.3S (or $4.78 per mile) for the entire road and trail mileage of Lillooet District, and\nreducing the amount available for permanent work to that extent. In spite of this extraordinary\nexpenditure and the small amount left to keep the roads in repair, amounting to $14,020.89 (or\n$6.26 per mile), roads and trails (total mileage 2,240), the roads were all kept open for traffic.\nThe following improvements were also carried on: Cariboo Main, about 1 mile gravelling;\nChilcotin Main, % mile gravelling; Clinton-Alkali via Kelly Lake, 1 mile gravelling and 7 miles\nslashing; Clinton-Alkali, 8% miles slashing and several miles of road improved; Big Bar-Big\nBar Mountain, 1 mile of heavy work completed; Gun Creek Trail, about 2 miles of new work\ncompleted. On January 15th the roads were open for auto travel to Ashcroft, 150-Mile House,\nChilcotin, Gang Ranch, Big Bar, and Lillooet via the Marble Canyon.\nThe surfaces of many of the roads are showing signs of wear; the macadam at the 68- to\n77-Mile posts, part of which was surfaced in 1908, is breaking up, and more money should be\nappropriated on these roads to maintain them in condition for motor and truck traffic, which is\never increasing. Narrow roads, such as Bridge River, North Fork, and Bonaparte Valley, should\nbe widened at places aud timber cut away to 15 or 20 feet on either side of the road. On main\nroads, such as Cariboo Main, Chilcotin Main, etc., besides the above improvements, dangerous\npoints should be widened or relocated, and earth surfaces, such as exist along the north end of\nLac la Hache, gravelled. Culverts in use at present should be discontinued and a more permanent\ntype used, as this item alone takes quite a large portion of the district appropriation to keep in\nrepair.\nYours obediently,\nG.

J  13\nREPORT OF ENGINEER, DISTRICT No. 4.\nDistrict Engineer's Office,\nPenticton, B.C., June 26th, 1919.\nA. E. Foreman, Esq.,\nPublic Works Engineer, Victoria, B.C.\nSir,\u2014I beg to submit general report in connection with the above district.\nThis engineering district comprises the Electoral Districts of North Okanagan, South\nOkanagan, Similkameen, Greenwood, and Grand Forks, embracing the most thickly settled\nportion of the Interior of the Province, most of which is in the Southern Dry Belt. Its chief\ngeographical features are the Shuswap Lakes (the eastern and southern portion of which it\ntakes in), the waters of the Shuswap River, Okanagan Lake and River, and the watersheds of\nthe Similkameen and Kettle Rivers and their tributaries. It is populated chiefly along the valleys\non or adjacent to these waters, and is a district mostly given over to agriculture, fruit-raising,\nand stock-raising, though the mineral industries in it are very considerable and produce large\npublic revenue. Roughly computed, it includes some 10,500 square miles of the most productive\nportion of the Interior of British Columbia. Though otherwise divided into electoral divisions,\nit may be said to consist of the following main areas: (1) The eastern portion of the Shuswap\nLakes; (2) the Spallumcheen and Okanagan Valleys; (3) the Similkameen Valley; (4) the\nvalleys on the various branches of the Kettle River; all of which lie in the Gold Range or its\noutspurs.\nTaking everything into consideration, and especially the limited population of the Provrhce,\nit may be'safely stated that the Public Works Department has always met the needs of this\ndistrict in a very generous manner. At all stages of development it has always been supplied\nwith very good trails, roads, bridges, and other public utilities, as circumstances necessitated.\nIn this engineering district some 2,280 miles of highway are maintained by the Provincial\nDepartment of Public Works, of which some 300 miles can be classified as main trunk roads,\n080 miles as second-class roads, and 1,300 miles as local roads.\nThe Department has hitherto.also met half the cost of maintaining portions of certain main\ntrunk roads in some of the municipalities\u2014some twenty miles in all during this fiscal year.\nNew arrangements are now being made to co-operate on some proper basis with municipal\nauthorities, particularly as far as the main trunk roads are concerned.\nRoads.\nFormer Administrations expended a great deal of the public funds on the roads in this\ndistrict, and, though much of this money was well spent (as the present number of roads show),\nstill no systematic effort was made to bring about a system of highways which would be of\npermanent nature and suited to the requirements of modern traffic. Large sums were used for\nthe construction of roads in portions of the district which from their very nature could never\nbe expected to become producing territory, and no systematic effort was made to link up the most\nimportant sections with one another.\nUnder the present administration of the Department an effort is being made to bring about\nsome permanent system of highway-construction which will allow of the public funds being used\nwhere most needed and on Work of a permanent nature. With this idea in view the roads already\nconstructed have been classified into three groups: (1) Main trunk roads; (2) main district\nroads;  and (3) roads to individual ranches or small settlements.\n(1.) Main Trunk Roads.\u2014These connect principal points, not only in the engineering district\nitself, but outside of it. Such a road is the trunk road which starts from the International\nBoundary-line at Osoyoos and runs due north through Fairview, Penticton, Summerland, Peachland, Kelowna, Vernon, Armstrong, and Enderby to Salmon Arm on the main line of the Canadian\nPacific Railway. Others are the trunk road from Vernon to Kamloops and from Princeton (via\nOsoyoos) to Cascade respectively.\n(2.) Main District Roads.\u2014\u00b1\\n example of these is the Monashee Road, which runs due east\nfrom Vernon and is fed by various branch roads along its whole length. On completion to\nEdgewood (on tlie Arrow Lake, Kootenay District) this will become a main trunk road.\n(3.) Roads to the Smaller Settlements.\u2014These are very numerous in this part of the\nProvince.    In the past a great deal of money was expended on constructing roads to the home- steads of individual settlers. In the main these roads are not along surveyed routes, and it\ncannot be said that any system whatever was used beyond that of providing the settler with\nsome kind of an outlet. The consequence has been a great and very unnecessary duplication of\nroads, many of which have had to be either relocated or practically abandoned. An effort is\nnow being made to expend money only where it will serve some useful public purpose and be of\nsome service to some community which is capable of producing sufficiently to warrant assistance\nfrom the public funds.\nThough it is impossible to generalize in a report of this nature (especially as the conditions\nvary according to locality), still it can be safely stated that the main trunk roads in all this\npart of the Province are in a very satisfactory condition, considering the small expenditures\nwhich it has been possible to make on them during the war. During the fine season (summer\nand early fall) visitors are very much impressed with the first-class condition of these highways.\nDuring the early spring, however, it is usual to have a great many complaints on their condition.\nThe same can be said of practically all the roads in the district, whatever their nature. This can\nbe very simply explained by the following facts:\u2014\n(1.) In the portions of the district where there is the most traffic the natural supply of road\nmaterial is the least suitable for hardening the roads.\n(2.) The ever-increasing use of motor-vehicles and especially of motor-trucks. It will be\nabsolutely necessary in the near future to give a hard surface to all portions of the roads in this'\ndistrict where the iise of trucks is prevalent.\nLabour.\n\u2022\nAnother problem which must be squarely met if the best use of public funds on road-work\nis to be made is that of the increasing cost of labour. As in other portions of British Columbia,\nlabour is plentiful at certain seasons of the year, but almost unobtainable at others. During the\nfruit-picking and harvest seasons labour is always scarce, and the practice of the Department in\nthe past has always been to give the actual settler the first chance of obtaining work on the roads.\nAll such facts had a tendency to increase the wages of those employed on road-construction, and\nwill eventually lead to more work being done under contract than in the past. The rate of pay\nfor road-labour is now $4 per eight-hour day.\nCost.\nIt is impossible to give any reliable unit costs relative to the construction of highways in\nthis district. The cost depends on the nature of the road to be \"built (whether first, second, or\nthird class) and also on the nature of the country through which it passes. In. some cases\nmaterial has to be hauled long distances, while in others first-class gravel, etc., is along the\nroute of the road. The construction of certain roads calls for extensive rock-work or drainage;\nothers simply have to be laid out along flat gravel benches, necessitating little, if any, grading.\nConsequently any figures which might be given would prove to be misleading.\nRoad Material.\nThis district is well supplied with road material of first-class quality, there being large banks\nand deposits of gravel and shale of the best kind in nearly all sections. However, as previously\nstated, these are in many instances not situated handy to the centres of heavy traffic near the\ntowns. This necessitates a long haul in many places and the use of trucks or tractors, the\ndemand for which for this purpose will always be on the increase.\nThe district is well supplied with bridges, no important river or creek crossing being without\none. An effort is being made, where possible, to standardize this work, so as to simplify\nconstruction and to lessen the cost of production of the necessary bridge material.\nBridges.\nSome 460 bridges are maintained by the Department along the routes of the roads above\nmentioned. These vary from small one-span log bridges over small streams to large, modern\nHowe-truss spans and swing-spans over the main rivers. Bridges of all classes are continually\nbeing renewed or repaired. As regards the more important bridges, in most instances the timbers\nfor these have to be brought in from the Coast, and the cost of the bridge largely depends on the 10 Geo. 5 Report of Engineer, District No. 4. J 15\nlocality in which it is to be constructed; i.e., whether near to or distant from railway transportation. In nearly all instances the ironwork has to be brought in from the Coast, and the\nunit of cost varies naturally with the nature of the bridge, locality where built, and the condition\nof the labour market.\nThe following examples will give some concrete ideas:\u2014\n(1.) Copper Mountain Bridge ('Similkmneen River), Princeton.\u2014One 150-foot Howe-truss\nspan, one 100-foot Howe-truss span; length over all, 258.5 feet (material from Coast, built under\nvery adverse conditions).    Total cost, $15,520.44.\n(2.) Osoyoos Bridge (Narroios, Osoyoos Lake), Osoyoos.\u2014Pile trestle, 362 feet over all\n(material from Coast, delays and difficulties of transportation).    Total cost, $4,174.89.\n(3.) Casorso Bridge (Mission Creek) near Kelowna.\u2014One 50-foot king span, nine pile spans ;\n236 feet over all (material from Coast, no adverse conditions).    Total cost, $3,050.\nRiver and Lake Protection.\nThis has been necessary in several localities, such as near Kelowna, where various sums\nhave been expended^ from time to time for the protection of riparian owners. The question of\nriver-pi'otection has hitherto not been taken in hand in any systematic way, but an effort has been\nmade to use small sums at the disposal of the Department to the best temporary advantage.\nIf, however, several of the streams in this region are to be kept in their present channels, some\nmore extensive work must be done under the new \" River-bank Protection Act.\"\nFerries.\nIn this district both local steamboat services and ferries are subsidized by the Department.\nIn the case of the former the idea is to help settlement and business where the building of roads\nis not possible. The ferries are virtually part of the system of through roads. The following\nare in this district:\u2014\nShuswap Lake Steamboat Service.\u2014Takes in all points on the Great Shuswap Lakes, as\ntraffic requires.    Operates the year round, except when lakes frozen over.\nKeloivna-W'estbank Ferry.\u2014This is for tlie convenience of all classes of traffic on the main\ntrunk road running north and south, and can be said to be part of the system of main trunk\nroads.    It is used the year round and is one of the most-travelled ferries in tlie Interior.\nSummerland-Naramata Ferry.\u2014Maintained for through connection for the settlements at the\nsouth end of Okanagan Lake.    Saves a round of about twenty miles;   operated the entire year.\nDog Lake Steamboat Service.\u2014For passengers and freight to the country south of Penticton\nand settlements on Dog Lake;  not operated in the winter months.\nWharves.\nSome forty-two wharves have been kept up at the expense of the Department on Long Lake,\nOkanagan Lake, and Dog Lake, but arrangements are under way to transfer them to the Federal\nDepartment of Public Works, with the exception of some which serve private parties only.\nHitherto the expense of constructing and repairing these wharves has been very considerable.\nTrails.\nIn the earlier days trails were very necessary, especially at the period when the greater part\nof the district had few roads. In recent years these trails have been less and less used, and\nat the present time the greater number of them are never used. As they were in nearly all\ninstances built out of public funds, they are still public thoroughfares, but with a few exceptions\nno more money is expended on them. (Some 459 miles of trails are still kept on the lists of the\nDepartment in this district.)\nAn endeavour has been made to co-operate with other Government officials so as to minimize\nany overlapping and at the same time assist wherever possible.    I wish to express appreciation\nof help received from all my assistants and of the encouragement obtained from the head,office.\nRespectfully submitted.\nYours obediently,\nW. K. Gwyer,\nDistrict Engineer. J 16 Public Works Report  (1918-19).\nREPORT OF ENGINEER, DISTRICT No. 5.\nDistrict Engineer's Office,\nCourt-house,\nNelson, B.C., November 20th, 1919.\nA. E. Foreman, Esq.,\nPublic Works Engineer, Victoria, B.C.\nSir,\u2014I beg to submit general report dealing with the work carried out in West Kootenay\nduring the year 1918-19.\nOwing to the fact that the district appropriations were too small for the carrying-out of\nmuch construction-work our efforts were directed largely to improving existing roads, either by\nwidening or resurfacing with gravel or crushed rock.\nIn the Electoral Districts of Nelson, Trail, and Rossland are situated the heaviest-travelled\nmain roads in West Kootenay.\nIn the Nelson District the principal work consisted in regrading and gravelling Mountain\nRoad, leading to Mountain Station, and Chatham Street, the main traffic artery through Fairview\nto the Nelson Ferry.\nIn the Trail Electoral District the Granite Road from Nelson to Taghum was much improved\nby widening the road-bed, thereby making it safer for the increasing motor traffic. Stretches of\nthis road were also surfaced with good gravel.\nFrom Taghum to Crescent Valley similar work was done, while from Crescent Valley through\nPass Creek to the Columbia River only sufficient money was spent to keep the road passable.\nDuring this fiscal year work was commenced on- a new power-ferry across the Columbia\nRiver at Castlegar to replace the out-of-date pontoon operated by the Doukhobors at Kinnaird\n(Waterloo). When completed, this ferry will prove a great convenience to through traffic, as\nit will operate at all stages of water.\nA new road was built from the ferry to Castlegar, crossing the railway-tracks on an overhead\nbridge 116 feet long, this obviating what would have been a dangerous level crossing.\nBetweeii Trail and Castlegar considerable improvement was made on China Creek Hill,\nwhich in other years was almost impassable, while the whole of the road was kept in fair\ncondition for the auto traffic.\nFrom Trail to Columbia Gardens and Waneta the worst parts of the road were widened,\nregraded, and gravelled.\nFrom Waneta along the Pend d'Oreille River Road to the Salmon River only repair-work\nwas done, but there are many bad curves on this road which will yet have to be improved and\nwidened.\nFrom Columbia Gardens along the Nelson Waneta Road to Ymir good work was done\nwidening and gravelling, to the general satisfaction and comfort, particularly, of motorists.\nThe NelsomBalfour Road was also gravelled and repaired as far as funds would permit.\nIn the Rossland Electoral District the main roads\u2014namely, the Rossland-Trail Road and\nRossland-Paterson Road\u2014were improved by widening, ditching, and surfacing with crushed\nrock; over 500 tons of the latter having been supplied for this purpose by the Consolidated\nMining and Smelting Company for 42 cents per ton f.o.b. Warfield Siding.\nIn the Kaslo Electoral District the heaviest-travelled main roads are adjacent to Creston,\nand as considerable motor traffic is steadily developing through the Crowsnest Pass a start was\nmade to improving the road leading from Goatfell through Kitchener to Creston. On this road,\nbetween Erickson and Arrow Creek, we commenced work on a diversion which, when completed,\nwill give a grade of 3 to 4 per cent., thus eliminating a long steep hill of over 20 per cent, on\nthe existing road. We hope to continue work of this nature until the road will be on a permanent\nlocation with a good grade throughout.\nHaving to spend money on these diversions, we were thus handicapped for funds to put on\ngravel or rock surfacing, which is very necessary around Creston and Erickson if the roads are\nto be kept in shape for the increasing traffic. Around Kaslo the roads leading north and south\nwere kept in good repair, while considerable gravelling was done on the road leading up the\nSouth Fork of Kaslo Creek, over which there are a number of mining companies hauling ore \u25a0'. 1\n,...\u00bb\u00ab'Tty.cmSSJII, .,,,.\u201e\u201e\n,.;,.>.\u00bb-     * \"!0!'\"\":--:\"'-,' :,.,;,..-:.-.. -::.-r,:,'i: \/y-;;;.f;R\n\"1'   ?P':*\nililiSiSSiSStc;\n!JKs-\u00abSrSr\nFrancois Lake Ferry, Omineca District.

J 17\nAt Boswell, Ainsworth, Crawford Bay, Kootenay Bay, and other lake points sufficient repairs\nwere made to keep the roads iii satisfactory condition.\nRepair-work was also undertaken on the Trout Lake-Beaton Road and the Trout Lake-\nFerguson Road, the latter being put in shape as far as 10-Mile.\nMain trails throughout the Kaslo* District were opened up as necessity demanded and as far\nas the appropriation would allow.\nIn the Revelstoke Electoral District most of the new work was done on the extension of\nthe Big Bend or Revelstoke North Road. A wagon-road was built as far as 16-Mile Bridge,\nand from there to 19-Mile Creek (2.33 miles) a 4-foot trail, mostly on wagon-road grade, was\nput through. Where the trail crosses 17-Mile Creek a wagon-bridge was built instead of a\ntrail-bridge, the bridge being 93 feet long and 38 feet high in the centre. Considerable stretches\nof this road adjacent to Revelstoke were gravelled, while out in the Eagle Valley, between\nCraigellachie and Sicamous, the roads were kept in good repair, and good work was done on\ncleaning out main ditches which had filled in.\nIn the Arrowhead, Hall's Landing, Galena Bay, Beaton, and Camborne sections repair-work\nand small road extensions were made to meet the needs of these communities as far as the\nappropriations would permit.\nIn the Slocan Electoral District the work done consisted almost entirely of brushing ont and\nrepairing existing roads and trails where the work was warranted.\nOn the Silverton-4-Mile Road a considerable sum had to be expended on repairs owing to\nthe washing-out of the road at several points by high water in the creek and also owing to\nlarge snowslides.\nThe New Denver-Siiverton and the New Denver-Rosebery Roads were kept in good repair,\nbut the latter road is in such a poor location, involving a 16-per-cent. grade through loose sand,\nthat next year it is proposed to build a diversion on grades not exceeding 8% per cent.\nAcross Carpenter Creek at New Denver three of the king-truss spans were renewed.\nIn the Slocan Valley, Slocan City, and around Three Forks and Sandon requests for repair-\nwork on roads and trails were complied with as far as possible.\nAt Arrow Lake points, including Nakusp and the Columbia River Road leading from Nakusp\nto Fauquier, only sufficient work could be done to keep the roads passable, and the same applies\nto the districts on the west side of the Columbia River from West Denial's to Edgewood and\nNeedles.\nIn all of this engineering district most of the truss bridges were tightened' and repaired,\nwhile several smaller structures were either reconstructed or sufficient repairs made to keep\nthem safe for traffic.\nIn connection with our different ferries, there are two which will require very extensive\nrepairs or complete renewal at an early date\u2014namely, the Kootenay River Reclamation Ferry\nnear Creston and the Nelson Ferry operating on the West Arm of the Kootenay Lake at Nelson.\nThe former of these is at present a current-ferry working from an overhead cable, and.as the\ntraffic, especially during the haying season, is gradually increasing, it will probably be necessary\nwhen renewing the barge to increase its carrying capacity, which will necessitate installing\nmachinery and a sunk cable.\nThe Nelson power-ferry is very expensive to maintain and breakdowns are so frequent that\nit is a continual source of inconvenience to the travelling public. The heavy daily traffic justifies\nan improved ferry as soon as finances permit.\nDuring this fiscal year the various road officials have endeavoured to get value for money\nspent. Requests from the general public regarding matters pertaining to the Department have\nalso been attended to as expeditiously as possible. Roads not specifically mentioned herein were\ngenerally improved where the traffic permitted and as far as the funds would allow.\nOne regrettable feature common to this engineering district is that many of the roads have\nbeen built in poor locations, necessitating large expenditures on diversion-work, which could\nhave been otherwise used for gravel surfacing had the proper location been obtained in the\nfirst instance.\nRespectfully submitted.\nYours obediently,\nWm. Ramsay,\nDistrict Engineer. REPORT OF ENGINEER, DISTRICT No. 6.\nDistrict Engineer's Office,\nCranbrook, B.C., August 11th, 1919.\nA. E. Foreman, Esq.,\nPublic Works Engineer, Victoria, B.C.\nSir,\u2014I beg to submit the following report:\u2014\nThis district, coinciding with East Kootenay and comprising the three Electoral Districts of\nColumbia, Cranbrook, and Fernie, lies in between the summits of the Rockies and the Purcell.\nRanges, with an altitude varying from 2,400 feet at Gateway to over 10,000 feet on the higher\npeaks. Through the main interior valley flow the Kootenay River to the south and the Columbia\nRiver to the north. All of this territory is of a high altitude and intersected by numerous creeks\nand rivers. The waterways swell to immense proportions during periods of high water, often\ndoing great damage to bridges, roads, and other valuable property, with consequent high expense\nto the Public Works Department. Great care has therefore to be exercised in the design of\nbridge foundations and protection-work.\nAs the nature of the soil has a decided bearing on the construction and upkeep of roads, it\nmay be remarked that there are extensive belts along the Kootenay and Columbia Valleys of a\nvery fine silt, almost of the consistency of flour, which unless covered thickly by gravel creates\nclouds of dust on the roads during the long summer drought and wears into numerous chuck-\nholes under automobile traffic. On the other hand, in some sections long stretches of gravel\nbenches exist with but a thin covering of soil on top, and old trails traversing such formation\nhave lasted for years with little or no attention. Again, there are areas of glacial deposits\ncontaining numerous stones and boulders which, while forming a solid foundation, require surface\ngravelling for \"smooth riding. Hence, in locating new roads, the kind of local material should\nbe given an important place. The road through the silty soil, requiring the hauling of gravel,\nwill probably have an initial cost of at least three times the one located on the gravelly bench\nwhich requires only to be graded, and the subsequent.maintenance will be in greater proportion.\nIn view of the ever-increasing automobile traffic and the number of new locations that will have\nto be made to change many miles of primitive trail into roads with proper grades and alignment,\nthis is one of the important engineering problems in East Kootenay well worthy of careful\nconsideration. In the Elk Valley are found great quantities of gumbo derived from the disintegration of the shales off the coal area, and these form a very slippery road in wet weather,\nalthough affording a hard surface in the dry summer season, a fortunate fact in view of the\nincreased automobile traffic at this period. On the Moyie River below the Lower Moyie Lake\nno suitable gravel is to be found for miles, but there are large quantities of loose rock which\nmight be suitable for crushing. The Department's policy in introducing trucks will enable long\nstretches to be economically gravelled for the first time, whereas the cost previously by team-\nhaul was prohibitive.\nThe auto tourist traffic is rapidly increasing every year. A. J. Chisholm, Collector of\nCustoms at Kingsgate, says, in answer to a letter of inquiry: \" You will notice that the automobile traffic last year (season 1918) more than doubled the previous year, and it has been so\nsince the highway was opened between here and Cranbrook, and I look for the auto traffic to\nalways increase in the future.\" A glance at the map will show that, with the completion of\nthe Banff-Windermere Road now under construction, the main valley of East Kootenay will\nform the natural route for travel between the United States National Parks and cities across the\nborder to the Canadian National Park at Banff and to the City of Calgary. Crossing this\ndistrict via Crowsnest, Fernie, Cranbrook, and Nelson will be the southern Interprovincial\nHighway intersecting the north and south trunk highway at Cranbrook, thereby permitting\nthe tourist a choice of a number of routes.\nDuring the season of 1918-19 the appropriations for roads were practically sufficient only\nfor maintenance, but in spite of this considerable permanent improvement was made in the way\nof grading, widening, draining, and gravelling our main roads and constructing some branch\nroads, all of which are given in the separate tabulated reports.\nYours obediently,\nJ. G. Cummings,\nDistrict Engineer. 10 Geo. 5 Report of Engineer, District No. 7. J 19\nREPORT OF ENGINEER, DISTRICT No. 7.\nDistrict Engineer's Office,\nPrince Rupert, B.C., November 13th, 1919.\nA. E. Foreman, Esq.,\nPublic Works Engineer, Victoria, B.C.\nSir,\u2014I beg to submit my annual report for the year 1918-19.\nOrganization.\nThe reorganization carried out in 1917-18 had its bad effects during that year, but the good\nresults began to be felt more and more in 191S-19 as work progressed. A number of foremen\nwho had been found unsatisfactory were not reappointed. The general foremen and Assistant\nDistrict Engineer had become intimately acquainted with all the conditions and showed improvement by the ease with which they handled their work, and the discrimination they exercised\nin dealing with their foremen aud with the various applications for work to be clone and\ncomplaints about work already done. Tt can safely be said that there has been a very marked\nimprovement all along the line. In spite of the many adverse conditions which will be\nenumerated later, there has been a general \" bucking-up \" in the whole staff.\nLabour Conditions.\nThe labour conditions in 1917-18 were bad and in 1918-19 they were worse. The very great\ndemand for skilled woodsmen and miners at high rates of pay made it almost impossible to\nsecure men at all. In some cases Indians had to be employed in order to complete works that\nwere undertaken. There were very few returned soldiers available. Wages were raised a\nminimum of 25 cents per day and the hours shortened to eight hours per day, both facts contributing to the increased cost. It can be said that labour conditions were about as unsatisfactory\niis possible.\nWeather Conditions.\nSpring came very late and early summer was very wet indeed. This caii be illustrated by\nthe conditions in the rivers. The Skeena River rose to ordinary high-water level early in May\nand did not recede from that level more than 1 or 2 feet until August 15th. There were very\nheavy rains in the Bulkley and Nechako Valleys all through July.    The fall was stormy and wet.\nCosts.\nIn common with all other operations, public works cost more than ever. Wages were\nincreased and hours shortened. In addition, the cost of plant, supplies, and materials kept going\nup all the time. Some materials were hard to obtain at any price. A very noticeable falling-off\nin quality was also apparent.\nRoads and Trails.\nThe very heavy expense required to repair the damage done by the terrific floods of the\nfall of 1917 was the big factor in last year's work. Those storms revealed all the weaknesses\nin our road and bridge construction. Pole culverts were broken in and washed out in hundreds\nand other damage done which has been fully reported upon. It was estimated at the time that\nthere was $150,000 of damage done to public works, only part of which was repaired completely\nlast year. At all times the maintenance of the excessive mileage of roads and trails is bound\nto be costly. An attempt was made last year to confine the work as much as possible to the\nmain roads, but the trouble is that many of the main roads are so badly located that they have\nto be revised and rebuilt. Had they been properly located in the beginning, the same money\nwe are now spending on revisions could have been spent to good advantage on gravelling or on\nextensions. None of our new roads are now built without a careful cruise and survey. The great\nfolly of doing otherwise is becoming more and more apparent. To a great extent the survey-\nwork is being done in winter with the permanent staff when not otherwise employed.\nBridges.\nThe main step forward in bridge-work has been accomplished by standardizing of designs\nand the improvement in workmanship. A permanent bridge foreman has been appointed and\nkept steadily employed.    We were face to face with the appalling fact that many of our truss bridges are not lasting more than ten years. They had been badly designed and constructed,\nparticularly with respect to foundations. To build better structures costs a little more money,\nbut is amply justified. A timber-truss bridge properly built should last at least eighteen years.\nBeyond a question of doubt we are building better bridges now than formerly.\nFerries.\nThe eight ferries on the Skeena River are a big burden to maintain, especially in view of\nthe small amount of traffic accommodated. Three of these were reduced to a boat service. The\nincreased traffic at Terrace made it necessary to build a heavier ferry. A 15-ton pontoon\nreaction ferry was installed. A great improvement has been made in the designs of these\nferries, reducing the strain on the cables and generally improving the service rendered.\nGeneral.\nSome very marked changes have taken place in this district. The year 1918-19 will always\nbe remembered as the year when things began to \"pick-up.\" Settlers commenced coming in in\nconsiderable numbers to the Omiueca; new tie camps were started all along the line of the\nGrand. Trunk Pacific Railway; the coal property on the Telkwa River was opened; three small\nlumber-mills were started on the Skeena; the spruce-mills of Queen Charlotte Islands were\nworking to full capacity, as also the pulp and paper mills at Ocean Falls and Swanson Bay;\nthe fishing industry tributary to Prince Rupert was never in a more flourishing condition; and\nthe mineral-output increased enormously. The most outstanding development was perhaps in\nthe Portland Canal, due to the reopening of the Premier Gold Mine of Salmon River. In this\nyear it was proven to be an exceedingly fine property. All this development brings with it a\ndemand for better facilities. To adequately provide which, especially in the Coast District, has\nput a big strain upon our financial resources. That we succeeded in meeting most of the real\nneeds fairly satisfactorily is worthy of note. The temporary collapse of the operations of the\nDolly Varden Mining Company at Alice Arm, the high cost of producing gold in the placer\ncamps at Atlin, and the high cost, of production generally were the adverse factors.\nWe must record again the unfailing support and encouragement we have received from the\nVictoria office and the co-operation of the other departments, particularly the Government Agents.\nRespectfully submitted.\nYours obediently,\nA. L. Carruthers,\nDistrict Engineer.\nREPORT OF ENGINEER, DISTRICT No. 8.\nDistrict Engineer's Office,\nSouth Fort George, B.C., June 19th, 1919.\nSir,\u2014I have the honour to submit my annual report for the fiscal year ending March 31st,\n1919.\nRoad-work.\nThe original programme of work proposed at the commencement of the working season was\nnot exactly carried out in detail. Such changes were due to the individual appropriations in a\nnumber of cases being so small and extra work becoming necessary for various reasons on the\nmore important main roads. Generally speaking, the work consisted of repairs to existing roads,\n900 miles being actually worked over.\nThe new work carried out consisted chiefly of diversions from or extensions to the present\nroad system, the most important of these being the temporary completion of the Dog Prairie-\nQuesnel diversion in the Cariboo District, seven miles long. This road, with the exception of\none mile, has been completely graded and is in fair shape for traffic. It eliminates the \" Mud\nHill \" route, the maintenance of which in past years has been a perpetual expense.\nThe remaining part of the Borland Hill diversion on the main Chilcotin Road has also been\ncompleted, as far as grading is concerned. The total length of this diversion is four miles and\na half, two miles and a half having been constructed during the season. The nature of material\nin some places on this work will necessitate surfacing before the road can be maintained at a\nminimum expense.   10 Geo. 5 Report of Engineer, District No. 8. J 21,\nDuring the early part of the winter a commencement was made on the new road from Fort\nGeorge to Quesnel, on the east side of the Fraser River. The work done consisted chiefly of\nslashing and was partly carried out by returned soldiers.\nSettlement roads have been constructed in various parts of the district and minor extensions\nmade to accommodate incoming settlers.\nThe nature of repair-work done with the funds available was generally satisfactory, but the\nlarge mileages of roads and trails in the district which have had to be neglected for several\nyears are becoming in such condition as to require heavy expenditure in order to keep them\npassable, and I can only strongly suggest complete, grading of some of the more important routes,\nespecially in the vicinity of the larger centres, as Fort George, Vanderhoof, Quesnel, etc., where\nthere is an increasing amount of automobile traffic.\nThe requests for new roads in the outlying districts were very marked, but it was impossible\nto give much assistance.    However, a large number were looked into for consideration next year.\nThere was a difficulty in procuring labour and horses in some parts of the district, although\nnot sufficient to affect the work in a general way. This was most noticeable in the lower section\nof the Cariboo District.\nMy previous report condemned the use of hired teams, and the adoption of mechanical\ntraction should be made in order to overcome the difficulty in this respect.\nA road-patrol system was introduced on sections of the Main Cariboo Road between Soda\nCreek and the 152nd parallel, also between Quesnel and Barkerville. Excellent results were\nobtained by this method of maintenance. One man, with a single horse and cart employed, with\nthe necessary equipment can do the work of maintaining a finished.road with greater economy\nand produce better results, besides satisfying the travelling public.\nA few contracts were let on new work, principally for clearing and burning, as it was found\nthe work could be done much better and cheaper than by day-labour, one advantage being that\nthe right-of-way was completely cleared up instead of brush being allowed to accumulate, as it\nis often done by a road-gang.\nBridge-work.\nA truss bridge was erected over the Nechako River near Fort Fraser; three 100-foot Howe\ntrusses on pile piers with pile approaches form the make-up of this structure. The work was\ndone by day-labour, and, considering the excessive cost of material, etc., was undertaken very\nreasonably. The workmanship is of the best and every precaution was taken to protect the\nstructure from weather conditions, driftwood, ice, ete.\nThe Pouce Coupe River Bridge was completed. This is a 00-foot king-truss span on pile\npiers aud approaches, and is the first of its kind to be erected in the Peace River section. Large\nquantities of grain are taken over this bridge from the farming district of\" Pouce Coupe to the\ngranary at Spirit River, and it has satisfied a great want in that particular section.\nNumerous small bridges were built or repaired in every part of the district, the latter being\nmostly on account of decay.    Very little damage was occasioned by high water.\nThe new plans and specifications for truss bridges resulting from our annual convention are\na great improvement over the old designs, and if properly carried out should materially prolong\nthe life of this class of bridge-work.\nFerries.\nTwo new ferries were commenced\u2014one on the Nechako River at Hulatt, giving access to\nsettlers residing on the north side of the river to the Grand Trunk Pacific Railroad, and one at\nMcBride over the Fraser River, affording a similar convenience.\nA temporary scow was provided at Braeside, on the Nechako River, giving the settlers outlet\nto Engen Station, on the Grand Trunk Pacific. By the construction of the bridge at Fort Fraser\nthe ferry was eliminated and will likely be used for the new ferry at Braeside.\nGenerally.\nConsiderable difficulty was experienced in procuring really capable foremen who may be\nrelied upon from year to year. This means continually educating new men into the methods we\ndesire to adopt, and it is doubtful if this drawback can be overcome until some inducement is\ngiven local foremen to become interested parties in the work. J 22 Public Works Report  (1918-19).\nApart from the necessary small surveys required for the progress of work being carried out,\nlittle opportunity was available for field-work.\nSeveral changes were made in the office.    The new filing system was introduced and is\nproving satisfactory.\nAutomobiles were provided for the general foremen where practicable, making it possible to\nget over the district more frequently and keep in better touch with the work.\nA regrettable accident occurred to one of our general foremen at Quesnel, who was drowned\nin connection with his duties at tlie Quesnel Ferry.\nGreat interest has been shown in the work by the general foremen, and the satisfactory\nmanner in which the work has been attended to throughout the district is to be appreciated.\nAll of which is respectfully submitted.\nYours obediently,\nArthur Dixon,\nDistrict Engineer.\nREPORT OF SUPERVISING ARCHITECT.\nSupervising Architect's Office,\nDepartment of Public Works,\nVictoria, B.C., January 16th, 1920.\nA. E. Foreman, Esq.,\nPublic Works Engineer, Victoria, B.C.\nSir,\u2014I have the honour to submit the following report on the work carried out in this office\nduring the financial year ending March 31st, 1919:\u2014\nParliament Buildings.\nThe vote on these buildings was considerably pruned down from that available in previous\nyears, which has necessitated considerable thought to keep the buildings in repair with the\nlimited funds available and at the same time carry ont alterations to various departments, such\nas those carried out in the Comptroller-General's Department, Museum, Printing Department,\nand Lands Department, considering that the salaries of two carpenters were chargeable to the\nvote; this, however, was accomplished without any further sum being voted. With the change\nin accounting during this year, work carried out for other departments formerly charged against\nthe public-works vote has now been charged against the department concerned; this has necessitated taking particular care of the time and material used on these works and billing the\ndepartment concerned with the cost each month.\nOther Government Buildings, Victoria.\nExtensive repairs have been carried out at the Court-house, with the reorganization of the\nPolice Department, fixing up new quarters for the Sheriff; while the Land Registry has been\ncompletely redecorated.\nNumerous complaints had been made on the condition of the roof of the Normal School\nthrough faulty construction; these defects were difficult to locate, but the repairs made have\neliminated practically all of the previous trouble.\nOther Provincial Buildings.\nAdditions, alterations, aud repairs have been made to practically all the Government buildings throughout the Province, notably those at New Westminster Mental Hospitals, Girls' and\nBoys' Industrial Schools, Fernie and Nelson Court-houses, Oakalla Prison Farm, and at various\ngaols, etc., throughout the Province. At the Mental Hospital, Essondale, the old bunk-house was\ntransformed into an up-to-date temporary hospital, the lower temporary hospital was reorganized,\nand a new Farm Superintendent's House built, practically all of which was carried out by patient-\nlabour under supervision.\nHospitals.\nAt the request of the Hon. the Provincial Secretary this Department has prepared plans for\nnew hospitals for Nakusp and Fort George, also suggestions have been made and assistance given \u25a0\nR.P. tractor hauling stone, Kamloops District.\n: V\nj\nNechako River Bridge, Prince George.

J 23\nconcerning the preparation of plans for the new additions to Tranquille Sanatorium, and inspection has been made during the progress of the work to see that this Government was receiving\nvalue for the grant given to this institution.\nSoldiers' Housing Scheme.\nA start has been made in the plans for the soldiers' housing scheme under the appropriation\nfrom the Dominion Government. It is proposed to supply each municipality adopting this scheme\nwith complete plans and specifications for eight different types of houses considered suitable for\ntheir need and carry out the actual construction of these in the South Vancouver Municipality.\nPlans and specifications were also prepared for artisans' dwellings in connection with the Pacific\nGreat Eastern Railway at Squamish.\nSundry Work.\nThe Saanich Prison Farm has been adapted to house criminally insane and other insane\npatients; also a considerable amount of work has been carried out for the Game Department\nand fitting up the new pheasant-farm at Saanich, whilst other works in adapting various\nbuildings for Labour Bureaus and Liquor Vendor stores has also been carried out.\nSchool.\nStandard plans and specifications have been prepared for the various-sized rural school-\nhouses, and the following types have been erected: One room, small, 5; two rooms, 3; four\nrooms, 2;  six rooms, 1;  additions, 2;  alterations and minor additions, 2.\nAt the request of the Hon. the Minister of Education this office has prepared plans and\nspecifications and given advice to certain City and Municipal School Boards for proposed new\nschools, and has reported on various .heating schemes for certain city schools with views to\nimprovement, etc.\nGenerally.\nThe office wherever possible has endeavoured to assist the Engineering Department in\npreparation of sundry tracings, curves, etc., and also to assist other departments whenever\nrequested.\nI wish to thank you, sir, for your consideration and active interest in the work of this office,\nand to express my thanks to Mr. Middleton and the various tradesmen for the efficient and\nharmonious manner in which they have assisted me in the carrrying-on of the work connected\nwith this Branch.\nBelow is a statement showing the percentage cost of conducting this office on value of work\ncarried out, neglecting such overhead charges as office-rent, light, ete.:\u2014\nWork executed.\nNew school buildings, alterations, aud additions   $ 95,536 00\nValue of work to Parliament and other Government buildiugs  80,100 07\nValue of work for which plans and specifications were prepared but\nno superivision provided  30,989 00\nTotal      $200,625 07\nValue of work carried out for various departments,  charged on\ntime basis   $      2^5 00\nTotal expenses, including salaries   $    4,080 00\nLess work done on time basis  225 00\n$    3,855 00\nThis sum being 1.86 per cent, on the value of work executed\u2014viz., $206,625.07.\nRespectfully submitted.\nYours obediently,\nHy.

REPORT OF CHIEF INSPECTOR OF MACHINERY.\nNew Westminster, B.C., April 1st, 1919.\nThe Honourable the Minister of Public Works,\nVictoria, B.C.\nSir,\u2014In accordance with the provisions of the \" Boilers Inspection Act,\" I have the honour\nto submit to you the Seventeenth Annual Report of the operation of the steam-boilers and\nmachinery inspection service for the year ending March 31st, 1919.\nThe personnel of the service at present consists of the Chief Inspector, twelve District\nInspectors, one clerk, and three stenographers, located as follows: Chief Inspector, four\nInspectors, one clerk, one stenographer and typist at the head office in New Westminster,\nincluding Districts A and E; three Inspectors and one stenographer and typist in Victoria for\nDistrict B ; one Inspector in Nelson for District C; four Inspectors and one stenographer in\nVancouver for District D.\nDuring the year the following changes in the inspection staff have taken place: J. B. Tait\nwas appointed Inspector for District E on September 1st, 1918, and G. C. McGown left the service\non November 30th, 191S, to accept much more lucrative position as engineer surveyor for Lloyd's\nRegister of British and foreign shipping.\nThe following is a summary of the routine work performed in the office of the Chief Inspector\nduring the year, exclusive ois inspections, engineers' examinations, and the work of engineer\nsurveying, details of which will be found in the reports of the Inspectors for the different districts\nand that of the Chief Engineer Examiner:\u2014\nLetters inward        6,527\nLetters outward       7,531\nTelegrams inward    41\nTelegrams outward   34\nInspectors' monthly reports examined        144\nNew designs examined, calculated, and reported on   53\nAmendments to designs examined, calculated, and reported on  30\nPees collected for designs  $373.00\nPees collected for infractions of Act  $423.60\nNumber of miles travelled by Chief Inspector      4,302\nI am pleased again to be able to report that there have been no boiler-explosions during\nthe year.\nThe mimber of accidents to persons and machinery are fully set forth in the District\nInspectors' reports.\nIt will be noted that there was only one personal accident, and I regret to say that this was\nfatal. This accident occurred at the Lake Lumber Company's plant, Qualicum Beach, and the\nperson killed was S. Johnson, manager and part owner. The immediate cause of the accident\nwas the slackening-back of the set-pin on the small bevel-wheel attached to the vertical spindle\nof the governor. When the vertical portion of the governor ceased rotating the governor-balls fell\nand opened the valve to its fullest extent. As a result of this the engine-speed was immediately\nincreased. The engineer, H. Whitechurch, Third-class Certificate No. 3824, had been around the\nengine feeling the bearings, etc., a few minutes before the accident, after which he had gone over\nto the planer-engine to perform a similar duty. Mr. Johnson, the manager, happened to be\nnearer the engine than Mr. Whitechurch when the speed became excessive and went over to shut\noff the stop-valve. He had just started to do this when the fly-wheel went to pieces. The belt\nwas broken; it struck Mr. Johnson and threw him against the supporting posts of the upper\ndeck of the mill and he was instantly killed. The fly-wheel was 8 feet in diameter; width of\nrim, 26 inches; thickness, 3 inches. The rim was supported by double spokes, oval in shape,\n3% x 4%. The normal speed of the engine was 160 revolutions per minute, giving a periphery-\nspeed of 4,000 feet per minute, which is about 30 per cent, less than our rules allow.    The 10 Geo. 5 Chief Inspector of Machinery. J 103\ngovernor in question was a Bayard, 3x\/o diameter valve opening. The mill was a new one just\ngetting into working-order. Engine trials had been run and the governor had worked satisfactorily until the accident occurred. A great deal of damage was done to the mill, driving-shaft,\npulleys, and belts. An inquest was held by J. Hickling, Coroner, and the jury returned a verdict\nof accidental death.\nUnder summary of defects it will be seen that the use of the safety-valve does not receive\nthe attention it should, as one boiler was discovered operating without a safety-valve; seven\nwere found with safety-valves inoperative; and eight overloaded, three of them to a dangerous\nextent. Under the heading of \" pressure-gauges\" it will be noted that fifteen were found\ninoperative and 314 defective.\nThe number of new boilers built for British Columbia was fifty-four, as compared with 156\nfor the previous year; twenty-eight of these were built in British Columbia, eight were built\nunder inspection in Eastern Canada, one not built under inspection in Eastern Canada, and\nseventeen built in the United States. Of these, forty-three were put into operation in British\nColumbia, the remainder being in stock at the end of the year.\nThe number of second-hand boilers imported was thirty-two from Eastern Canada, as compared with twenty-four during the previous year; and fourteen from the United States, as\ncompared with thirteen for the previous year.\nBoilers inspected for the first time during the year number 108; five were taken out of\nservice, being condemned as unfit for further use.\nThe total number of boilers now on our books is 6,092. Of these, 2,736 were inspected\ninternally and externally, six inspected internally only, and 203 inspected externally only; thus\nleaving 3,147 on which no inspection was made during the year.\nThe number of plates tested during the year was 146, as compared with 346 for the previous\nyear. Two plates were rejected as unfit for use in boiler-construction, as compared with fourteen\nin the previous year.\nIn connection with defects discovered, I wish to mention a case where the engineer, E. Stevens,\nnoticed a slight leakage of steam on the side of the riveted joint opposite the caulking-edge of the\nplate. He immediately closed down the boiler and reported to the Inspector, F. Biggam, who\nat once made an examination of the boiler and applied the hydrostatic test. While the test was\nbeing applied the plate ruptured for a considerable distance. It was found that the plate had\nbeen cracked on the inside for some time, but the crack was covered by the inner lap. If this\nhad not been noticed and prompt action taken by Mr. Stevens, there is no doubt a disastrous\nexplosion would have occurred.\nOur inspection-work has been considerably upset during the year on account of Mr. Bath and\nMr. Goepel being requested by the Imperial authorities to act as engineers in charge of two\nvessels which were to be taken from Canada to England. Mr. Bath left Vancouver on June 16th,\n1918, and returned to duty on December 9th. Mr. Goepel left on May 31st, 1918, and returned\non September 23rd. The Imperial Munitions Board opened up a number of logging camps and\nmills for the production of aeroplane spruce. This necessitated considerable travelling of a\ndifficult nature; the greater part of it being done by Mr. Clark, of our Victoria Office. On one\nof these trips he walked across Graham Island from Skidegate to Port Clements, a distance of\nabout fifty miles, carrying his test-pump and instruments.\nArrangements were made to hold an Interprovincial Conference at Winnipeg to consider a\nuniform set of regulations for the whole of the Provinces of the Dominion. The meeting was\ncalled for Monday, August 26th, 1918. The following delegates were present: The Honourable\nE. H. Armstrong, Minister of Public Works and Mines, Halifax, N.S., representing the Province\nof Nova Scotia; E. F. Valiquet, Montreal, representing the Province of Quebec; Dr. Riddell,\nCommissioner of Labour, and D. M. Medcalf, Chief Inspector of Steam-boilers, Toronto, representing the Province of Ontario; R. A. Stewart, Acting Chief Inspector of Steam-boilers,\nWinnipeg, representing the Province of Manitoba; R. M. Blackburn, Chief Inspector of Steam-\nboilers, Regina, representing the Province of Saskatchewan; F. W. Hobson, Chief Inspector of\nSteam-boilers, Edmonton, Alberta, representing the Province of Alberta; and John Peck, Chief\nInspector of Machinery, New Westminster, representing the Province of British Columbia. The\nConference did British Columbia the honour of electing me as Chairman and R. M. Blackburn\nwas elected Secretary. At the commencement of the Conference we decided on the following\nprinciple:\u2014That we should: (1.) Consider and draft regulations ou which all delegates could\nagree.    These rules and regulations, after being submitted to the Governments of the different J 104 Public Works Report (1918-19).\nProvinces and approved, should constitute the Standard Interprovincial Code. (2.) If cases\narose on which all delegates could not agree, regulations covering these points would be framed\nand embodied in the regulations of the particular Provinces agreeing to them as an appendix\nto apply to these Provinces only. Two and three sessions a day were held. The Conference\nconcluded its work on Saturday, September 7th, and I am pleased to report that we were able\nto arrive at unanimous decisions on all questions covered by the draft regulations. The report\nis contained in 193 typewritten pages, one copy of which was sent to each delegate. Mr. Blackburn, the Secretary, was appointed a committee of one to place the rules and formula? in their\nproper order. This work has been done and a draft copy has been submitted to each of the\nrepresentatives. This is embodied in eighty-one typewritten pages. A special committee, consisting of Mr. Hobson, Mr. Blackburn, and myself, was appointed to go over the final draft before\nsubmitting it to the respective Governments concerned. It has not so far been possible, however,\nto get this committee together, as we are waiting for a report from the Manufacturers' Association, to whom copies of our conference-work were forwarded. In the meantime we are going\ncarefully into every case that arises in order to see how the new regulations will work out, as\nwe wish to be quite sure that no serious changes will result if and -when the interprovincial\nregulations become law in each Province.\nI am pleased to say that the active co-operation between this Department and other departments of the Government service and between the engineers in the various public buildings is\nresulting in much good and efficient work being done.\nIn addition to the usual work of this office, we have during the year undertaken extra work\nas follows: Reports on various matters for Imperial Munitions Board; arranged for sending\nengineers, captains, and mates overseas from British Columbia for the Imperial Inland Water\nand Docks service; supervised repairs ou the Ladner-Woodward, the Mission-Matsqui, and\nAgassiz-Rosedale Ferries; supervised repairs and operations in connection with steam plants\nin Government buildings; made surveys and repairs on the launches \" Whistlewing,\" \" Douglas,\"\nand \" Embree \" for the Forestry Department; the \" Watla \" for the Attorney-General's Department ; the \" Louise,\" \" I'll Away,\" and \" Gleam \" for the Public Works Department. During the\nyear the organization was completed for the carrying-on of inspection for the Workmen's Compensation Board, and on August 10th authority was issued to proceed with the work.

A fly-wheel at the Dominion Cedar\n& Shingle Company's plant burst owing to a defective bracket on the governor breaking and\nallowing the engine to attain an excessive speed. Fortunately no one was within range of the\nparts, some of which were projected 400 feet from the scene of the accident.\nBoiler No. 1156a, a return-tubular boiler, was badly damaged by low water. Early in the\nmorning the fireman opened the blow-down cock, and proceeding to shake up his fires forgot it\nuntil the boiler was empty. All the tubes and a number of the stays had to be taken out and a\nlarge amount of caulking done on the seams before the boiler could again be put into service.\nBoiler No. 2163, a locomotive type, was damaged on the crown-sheet owing to the engineer\nallowing the water to get too low. It occurred on the night shift, and on that particular night\nthe electric lights were off, so the engineer had to depend on a coal-oil lamp to determine the\nwater-level. However, as the engineer admitted he knew the water was too low and took no\nsteps to protect his boiler, his certificate was suspended.\nBoiler No. 906a had a dangerous crack extending through both plates and ring of the fire-\ndoor.   This is a portable threshing-boiler.\nBoiler No. 1593d was so badly corroded on the top head that it was considered unfit for\nfurther use.\nTwo logging-donkeys were found with the beading of the tubes in such .poor condition as to\nbe dangerous, and both of them were ordered retubed. Two blow-down pipes, burst during the\nhydrostatic test.\nThe attached report gives in tabulated form the various defects found.\nAt the beginning of August I was instructed to inspect the safety appliances in various mills\nfor the Workmen's Compensation Board.\nSince then I have made thirty complete inspections of plants, four special inspections, and\ninvestigated the cause of five accidents to employees. J 110 Public Works Report  (1918-19).\nThis work has added considerably to the time takeii to make inspections and also to the\namount of travelling necessary. Formerly the time elapsing between the hydrostatic test and\nthe internal inspection of the boiler was devoted to inspection of the engines, steam-pipes, and\nauxiliaries connected with the steam plant; and, although the inspection for the Workmen's\nCompensation Board fits in well with the steam plant inspection, the combined work occupies\nconsiderably more time.\nTrusting this report meets with your approval,\nI have, etc.,\nJohn D.

Of those,\nfifty-seven were approved, nineteen being for re-examination. For those approved I received\n$215 fees.\nI made a number of special inspections, for which I collected $265.70, covering time and\ntravelling expense.\nThe Inspectors of this district visited all parts thereof, and in doing so travelled about\n23,056 miles, making over 900 boiler inspections and hydrostatic tests.\nThe following accidents to boilers and machinery occurred:\u2014\nSteam Plant No. 1119s.\u2014The pin on the valve-gear broke, causing a shut-down of plant, but\nno serious damage to the engine.\nSteam Plant No. 517b.\u2014This was a boiler that, had been transferred from an old site to a\nnew position. It had been patched and well cleaned internally on the shell, but the feed-water\nin new locality caused a rapid exfoliation of scale from the tubes; this getting to the bottom\nof the boiler caused overheating and dangerous bulging of shell-plates. The boiler was\nimmediately taken out of commission and duly repaired.\nSteam Plant No. 2345b.\u2014A fatal accident occurred at this plant. It was a new mill just\nstarting up for the first time and running \" light.\" A screw-bolt on the pinion of the governor-\nspindle worked loose, thus preventing its due control of the engines. Excessive speed was\nattained by the engine, which had a heavy 6-ton fly-wheel. The wheel burst into many pieces,\none of which struck the manager of the mill and instantly killed him. The mill was badly\nwrecked and extensive damage done.\nAn accident to an engine at another plant was caused by the piston-rod breaking at the\ncross-head attachment, resulting in the complete smashing-up of the engine bed and cylinder.\nNo one was hurt. 10 Geo. 5 Chief Inspector of Machinery. J 117\nSteam Plant No. 2336b.\u2014The main driving-belt of this engine broke; one end struck the\ngovernor-belt and knocked it off its pulley and on to its own shaft; this kept the belt sufficiently\ntaut so that the tripping device could not operate. Excessive speed was attained; three spokes\nof the fly-wheel were fractured, but the steam was shut off in time to prevent a serious accident;\ntwo anchor-bolts were broken by the straining of the engine.\nSteam Plant No. 963b.\u2014This was an accident to a large main steam-pipe 12 inches in\ndiameter. A portion of a flange ruptured and Anally carried away, permitting the steam-pipe\nto go free. A large battery of boilers was thus enabled to discharge all their steam into boiler-\nroom, so endangering the lives of all the men therein. All managed to escape through^ windows,\netc. Prompt action of the chief engineer crawling into the room and shutting off the oil-fuel\nprevented further serious damage to the rapidly emptying boilers.\nPlant No. 1356b.\u2014The engine-frame developed bad cracks and finally broke in pieces. This\nwas repaired by patch-plates, additional holding-down bolts, and a new concrete bed was placed\nbelow the engine.\nNo. 1'iSIb.\u2014This was a case where the engine eccentric sheave came loose on the shaft, broke\nin parts, and thus caused the straps to break. The engine was stopped before more harm was\ndone and new sheave and straps were fitted.    No one hurt.\nSeveral times during the year I was called on by sundry departments of the Government\nto survey launches on their account. Those were the \" Douglas,\" \" I'll Away,\" and the \" Gleam,\"\nall of which were reported on. I also inspected a few Government-owned boilers of 138 horsepower, and $25.70 inspection fees were credited to this Department.\nThe past year has been a very busy one on account of the calls of war industries, more\nespecially in the outlying parts, such as the numerous logging and lumbering camps at the\nQueen Charlotte Islands, the northern fish-canneries, as well as the coal-mines, which had to\nexert all possible effort to replace the shortage of oil-fuel hitherto extensively used in many steam\nplants. In the coming year there will be a slackening-off of the logging camps, especially the\nspruce camps;  so that reduced fees may be expected in that direction.\nDuring the year we were called upon to do inspection-work on behalf of the Workmen's\nCompensation Board. I made thirty-two surveys of mills, etc., and found 107 dangerous places\nwhich I ordered to be guarded or fenced. I investigated and reported on four fatal accidents,\nas well as a number of cases where injury to persons had occurred.\nI append herewith a summary of work done with defects noted, together with office-work\nperformed.\nIn conclusion, I wish to acknowledge the efficient and cheerful assistance of my colleagues\nin carrying out the inspection-work of this district.\nI have, etc.,\ni i\nS.  Baxter,\nSenior Inspector, District B.\nRemarks.\nExaminations were held in Victoria at frequent intervals, at least once a month;  at Nanaimo\nevery three months.    Candidates were also examined at Anyox, Aleza Lake, Alice Arm, Cowichan\nLake, Cumberland, Dewey, Prince Rupert, Queen Charlotte Islands, Port Alberni, Prince George,\nand points along the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway.\ni\nSummary' of Work done in District B for the Year ending March 31st, 1919.\nNumber of boiler-plates inspected   10\n\u201e         boilers built under inspection in British Columbia   1\n\u201e         boilers built under inspection in Eastern Canada   2\n\u201e         new boilers inspected built in British Columbia   3\n\u201e         new boilers inspected  (total)  5\n\u201e         boilers imported from United States  (second-hand)     2\n\u201e         first inspections    7\n\u201e         inspections, external and internal    232\nexternal inspections only  7\n\u201e         special inspections after repairs   10\n\u201e         visits in addition to inspections    193\n\u201e         boilers subjected to hydrostatic test   239 J 118\nPublic Works Report (1918-19).\nNumber of boilers on which pressure was reduced   9\nboilers unsafe without extensive repairs  3\nboilers repaired under Inspector's directions   13\nboilers considered unfit for further use  1\naccidents to engines and boilers  8\naccidents resulting in personal injury (fatal)  1\ninvestigations      \u2022 5\ninspections completed  239\nTotal horse-power of boilers inspected   14,309\nNumber of defects observed as per summary   150\nNumber of defects considered dangerous   22\nInspection fees earned   $2,39S.85\nInspection fees collected     $2,557.05\nMiles travelled by the Inspector  6,862\nLetters inward   2,883\nLetters outward  3,372\nTelegrams inward  38\nTelegrams outward  30\nBoilers taken out of service  1\nWork done for other Departments.\nI'll Away,\" and \" Gleam.\"    I made thirty-three inspections and gave\nInspected \" Douglas.\n141 safety orders for Workmen's Compensation Board.\nWork done by other Inspectors for this District.\nOne boiler for a log-haul inspected by District D.\nSummary op Defects observed.\nNature of Defects.\nBoilers with safety-valves defective in construction \t\nPressure-gauges inoperative  \t\nPressure-gauges defective\t\nCases of broken rivets \t\nDefective settings\t\nBoilers with fractured plates \t\nBoilers with laminated plates  \t\nBoilers with burned plates \t\nCases of sediment on fire-sheets \t\nCases of internal corrosion \t\nCases of scale or encrustation \t\nCases of internal grooving\t\nCases of external corrosion \t\nCases of defective tubes \t\nCases of defective feed-water arrangement \t\nSerious leakage around tube-ends\t\nDefective blow-off pipes or cocks\t\nDefective water-gauges \t\nCases of broken test-cocks \t\nBoilers without fusible plugs \t\nBoilers low at front end \t\nCases of serious leakage of fittings \t\nDefects in engines \t\nCases of defective steam-pipes \t\nUnclassified defects \t\nNumber.\nDangerous\n1\n1\n2\n22\n2\n1\n1\n12\n2\n1\n1\n1\n1\n1\n1\n5\n1\n2\n6\n1\n1\n4\n1\n14\n2\n10\n6\n2\n44\n8\n1\n2\n.  .\n5\n1\n2\n1\n1\n2\n2\nTotals\n      152 22\nS.

These were for the most\npart small and were chiefly used for construction-work and diamond-drilling.\nSeveral old boilers that had been lying idle since the time this Act came into force and which\nhad never been inspected were resurrected, and several were found to be badly constructed.\nOne in particular had the top row of stays in the side-plates of the fire-box 6 inches down from\nthe top, and the first row in the crown-sheet was 6 inches in from the side. The owner was\nsurprised when shown the deflection in the crown-sheet under 80 lb. pressure and could not understand why it should come down when it was stayed to the shell above. He informed me that it\nhad originally carried 100 lb. -working-pressure.\nOne boiler was damaged from lack of water. The engineer had filled it up the afternoon\nbefore and had warmed it up a little. He closed the connections to the water-column and drained\nthe column to prevent it freezing. Next morning he decided to heat up the water in the boiler\nbefore turning it into the column, but found that the water had all leaked out during the night.\nThere were several accidents to engines, but none resulting in injury to any one of the\nemployees.\nAppended you will find tabulated statement for the year.\nI have, etc.,\nAndrew Sutherland,\nInspector, District C.\nResults of Examinations.\nNo.\nClass. examined.

Fortunately no person was hurt. Mr. Biggam's report contains list of other\naccidents in this district.\nOnly a few of the logging-donkey boilers were inspected during past year owing to shortage\nof Inspectors. This, however, we did not consider a serious condition, as these boilers had been\nregularly inspected for some years and we thought it better to let them go rather than the\nboilers in town. Although short-handed, we managed to inspect all the heating-boilers with the\nexception of two or three that were not ready at the first visit, and all of the high-pressure\nboilers, both those in operation and those passing through the dealers' hands. This, I can\n\u25a0assure you, was not accomplished without some hard work on the part of Mr. Biggam, to whom\nfell the lot of \" keeping the home fires burning,\" as it were, while the other two Inspectors were\ndoing their bit.\nSince last report the British Columbia Sugar Refining Company has installed two Baden-\nhausen water-tube boilers, and in connection with these intend to use granulated coal as fuel.\nThe company has almost completed an elaborate pulverizing plant which may have a far-reaching\neffect on the fuel question in the Province if successful.\nThe large number of temporary certificates issued is accounted for by the shortage of\nengineers owing to the war; the spruce camps taking all the good engineers, leaving the ordinary\ncamps with very few engineers to operate them. The labour agents had as many as eight and\nten wanted on their respective books at one time; hence, in order to prevent crippling the\nindustry, we were compelled to issue temporary certificates to tide over until more certificated\nmen were available.    This condition has been relieved for some months now.\nI have, etc.,\nGeorge O. Madigan,\nSenior Inspector, District D.\nRemarks.\nMost of year was in office, keeping up records and arranging work for Inspectors. 10 Geo. 5\nChief Inspector of Machinery.\nJ 127\nSummary of Work done in District D for Year ending March 31st, 1919.\nNumber of boiler-plates inspected    22\nboilers built under inspection in British Columbia  5\nboilers built in Eastern Canada not under inspection  1\nnew boilers inspected built in United States  5\nnew boilers inspected built in British Columbia   9\nnew boilers inspected  (total)     15\nboilers imported from United States (second-hand)     2\nboilers unclassified   (8  copper kettles,  1  old boiler for  tank,  2  marine\nboilers)      11\nfirst inspections    28\ninspections, external and internal   32\nspecial inspections after repairs  1\nspecial inspections for Compensation Board  3\nvisits in addition to inspections   72\nboilers subjected to hydrostatic test   36\nboilers on which pressure was reduced  2\nboilers repaired under Inspector's directions  1\ninspections completed   32\nTotal horse-power of boilers inspected  1,571.3\nNumber of defects observed as per summary  <  31\nNumber of defects considered dangerous   3\nInspection fees earned  $377.95\nInspection fees collected, $377.95 ;   total for District D      $7,167.10\nMiles travelled by the Inspector    565\nLetters inward  2,758\nLetters outward  3,325\nTelegrams inward   7\nTelegrams outward  6\nWork done for other Districts.\nI inspected one second-hand boiler for District A and collected the fees,\ninspections and gave seventy safety orders for Workmen's Compensation Board.\nI  made seven\nSummary of Defects observed.\nNature of Defects.\nBoilers with safety-valves defective in construction\nPressure-gauges defective  \t\nCases of broken rivets  \t\nCases of broken stays or braces \t\nCases of internal corrosion\t\nCases of external corrosion\t\nCases of defective tubes \t\nSerious leakage around tube-ends \t\nSerious leakage in rivet-joints \t\nSplit tubes  \t\nBroken blow-off pipes or cocks \t\nCases of broken test-cocks\t\nBoilers without fusible plugs (to be renewed)   ....\nBoilers without enough hand-holes\t\nCases of defective steam-pipes \t\nUnclassified defects \t\nNumber.\n1\n1\n1\n1\n1\n1\n2\n2\n4\n3\n2\n1\n5\n1\n2\n3\nDangerous.\n1\nTotals\n31\n3\nGeorge O.

The\nnumber of inspections has fallen somewhat; this is due to my absence from the office during\nJune, July, August, and September, overseas in the service of the Royal Engineers, I.W. & D.\nDepartment.\nMr. Bath, who was also away at the same time as myself, assisted in the navigation of a\nsmall tug-boat (100 feet long) from Halifax to Belfast, Ireland, for the War Office.\nDuring the period in which we were away the work of the office was ablyi kept up by\nMr. Madigan and Mr. Biggam.\nAt the end of this month I am severing my connection of ten years with this Department.\nI find it very hard\u2014impossible, in fact\u2014to express the thoughts I have at parting from, associations of so long and intimate a standing. Ten years have made a big difference in the work of\nthe Boiler Inspection service. The Workmen's Compensation Board work, the supervision of\nGovernment boats and buildings, in so far as power plant is concerned, have all gradually been\nadded, while the only thing removed has been the inspection of a few logging-locomotives.\nThe Inspectors of the Railway Department have had ample assistance in their work in\nconnection with their new rules and the records of the inspection of the locomotives they have\ntaken over.\nIn spite of the extra work and the inability of manufacturers to obtain plates, etc., up to\nthe highest standard during the war period, there have been no boiler-explosions. Two boiler-\nexplosions in twenty years is a record, I imagine, that can hardly be approached by any community;  certainly I doubt if any records will show'better results.\nIn conclusion, I have to thank you for the personal interest you have always taken in my\nwelfare, for the help you have always so generously given me in connection with the many\nproblems which have continually arisen in the course of our work, and for the very kind wishes\nyou have expressed for my new venture since handing in my resignation.\nIn parting from Mr. Madigan, Mr. Biggam, and Mr. Bath, I feel somewhat like a man going\nout upon the ocean in a small boat\u2014if such an analogy is permissible. Their assistance and\nco-operation have been so unselfishly given at all times.    They have been as a prop to lean upon.\nThe Department over which you have control will always have my very best wishes; also\nmy assistance for its welfare or advancement, if such ever becomes at all possible.\nI have, etc.,\nPercy A.

Rupture of an automatic stop-valve on a Goldie-\nMcCulloch W.T. boiler at St. Paul's Hospital; (2) failure of a double-riveted lap-seam on 31d\nat Cotton Shingle Company's Mill,-Vancouver; (3) the wreck of a steam-engine at Rat Portage\nMill as the result of the crank-shaft failing at the main bearing.\nI investigated these happenings, two of which, the first and third, each released enough\nenergy to kill anything which might have chanced in its effective zone. The second was happily\nnoticed by the engineer, E. Stevens, who wisely recognizing the danger promptly closed down\nand notified this office. An engineer of this calibre deserves substantial recognition in some\nform, and I am glad of this opportunity to bring it under your notice. Although these accidents\neach had the capacity of fatal consequences, fortunately no one was injured. If, however, this\nchance immunity were allowed to modify our attitude toward such happenings, we would fail to\nprofit by that experience on which are built all rules for public safety. I feel inclined, therefore,\nto dogmatize somewhat, or at least lay down certain strictures for my own future guidance;\nthuswise:\u2014\u25a0\n(1.) In the case of two or more boilers, one of which is being subjected to hydrostatic test\nwhilst the others are under steam, a blank flange must be inserted beyond the stop-valve,\neffectually isolating the boiler under test and at the same time testing its cast-iron stop-valve.\n(2.) The reduction of W.P. by increasing the factor of safety in a lap-seam boiler does not\nnecessarily raise the margin of safety unless the increase takes effect before deterioration of\nthe joint ensues. To allow a given term of years and then add to the F.O.S. is unsound and a\nmere groping in the dark. The structure is fundamentally unsound, and however equitable the\nlap-seam boiler may have been in the economy of things thirty years ago, in a technical direction\neverything has been moving to discredit it ever since. It really seems unnecessary to suggest\nan argument about what is a simple matter of fact. Even this very day there is a lap-seain\nboiler, R.T., 60 x 16, under construction in this district which will calmly shelter under the\ncharitable F.O.S. 4.37, presumably to operate at 130 lb. W.P. When we know the sum of $25\nroughly represents the difference in actual cost of construction, it is hard to conceive the purpose\nof such rooted constancy to an Idea.\n(3.) The definition of \"boiler\" in the \"Boilers Inspection Act\" is very comprehensive, but\nrather ambiguous\u2014perhaps conveniently so\u2014save in respect to steam-generators. In theory, if\nthe interpretation be sufficiently stretched, it has always been the case that engines and connected\nmachinery and so forth have been under inspection, but in practice it has never been the case.\nThis is common knowledge and it is best to be candid about it. No responsible Inspector would\ncertify regarding the safety of an engine by merely tapping it here and there promiscuously\nwith a hammer. The engine must be stripped bare and parts thoroughly cleaned and laid out\non the floor if an inspection of the boiler really implies inspection of engines. Perhaps the\n\" Workmen's Compensation Act\" could be used to particularly ensure the more rigid inspection\nof engines. Should, how&ver, any such additional restriction be put on the steam-user, the\nheretofore whirlwind practice whereby only one day, usually, was sacrificed to the boiler\ninspection must be considerably modified.\nAn old engine is a dangerous thing. The popular notion that when an engine breaks down\nit stops, whilst true in the abstract sense, is not usually true in the particular. As noted above\nin reference to the Rat Portage Mill engine, there was enough energy expended by the crank-\ndisk, connecting-rod, cross-head, and piston-rod pitching forward and the piston and cylinder\ncover careening backward to kill everything that might have chanced in their paths.\nI reserve a sentence or two in conclusion for reference to members of the Boiler Inspection\nstaff, Mr. McGown and Mr. Goepel, whose reports this year will denote their valedictions to J 132 Public Works Report  (1918-19).\nyourself as Chief Inspector and to the public as Government officials. Their going makes history,\nin that there had never been a single resignation from the service since its inception during the\nlong period of nearly twenty years. That is an enviable record for any institution with a\nconsiderable staff. It is significant of a wrell-ordered regime undisturbed by the devious crosscurrents which are popularly supposed to be incidental to the careers of all public officials.\nWhen an ancient institution like Lloyd's Registry selects from any engineering inspection staff\na surveyor, it is promotion for the one and an honour to the other.\nRegarding Mr. Goepel's decision to leave the service for business pursuits. I feel unal le to\nexpress exactly how it .personally affects myself. For upwards of eight years we have teen\nassociated in the closest way in carrying on the work of Vancouver District. Without qualification I state that during all that time of intimate co-operation never for one moment -.ere our\ncordial relations other than perfect. Quite aware as I am of certain infirmities of temper, the\nentire credit for such constancy I freely give to Mr. Goepel. It is refreshing to look back upon\nsuch a time of agreeable working together, but it ill softens the sentiments with which contemplate its nearing its end. Not unnaturally I regard Mr. Goepel's career in a wider field\nwith very special interest, an interest shared, I feel sure, by every one of his late colleagues\non the staff, and it is no exaggeration to affirm that in the good wishes of the staff he has at\nhis disposal the most chastened and therefore the most reliable engineering experience\u2014from\na local standpoint at least\u2014available in this part of the country.\nThanking you for unfailing courtesy and kindness during the past year,\nI have, etc.,\nFreu.

H   12507 REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF ELECTRICAL ENERGY.\nProvincial Inspector of Electrical Energy,\nVancouver, B.C., December 31st, 1919.\nHon. J. II. King,\nMinister of Public Works, Victoria, B.C.\nSir,\u2014I have the honour to submit herewith report of the work of this office for the year\nending March 31st, 1919.\nGenerating Plants.\nDuring the year fifty-five plants have been operating in the Province and giving entirely\nor in part a public supply of electrical energy. In addition, there are isolated plants operating\nat various mills, factories, and other industrial plants for supplying power and light in such\nplaces only. The electrical equipment is generally satisfactory from the safety standpoint and\nis well maintained, especially in the larger plants. Accidents due to lack of protective features\non equipment have been rare, most electrical accidents having been due to faulty or mistaken\nmethods of switching or carrying out repairs. It has been found that additional safeguards\nfrom mechanical hazards are frequently required, especially from fly-wheels, pulleys, belts,\ncouplings, clutches, and from floor-openings, pits, stairways, etc. Protecting guards or guardrails have been ordered at such parts and places.\nTransmission-lines.\nA new section of 60,000-volt line has been built by the West Kootenay Light and Power\nCompany from Silica, B.C., and extending south over the International Boundary to Northport,\nin the State of Washington. The construction is of similar arrangement to that used on the\ncompany's other transmission-lines throughout tlie Boundary District. Work has also been commenced by the same company on the 110,000-volt transmission-line from Greenwood to Copper\nMountain, a distance of approximately 100 miles. This line will be an extension of the West\nKootenay Light and Power Company's high-voltage transmission system from Bonnington Falls,\nwhere a total generating capacity of 30,000 k.v.a. is installed. The new line is for supplying the\nnew concentrating-mill being erected at Allenby by the Canada Copper Corporation for handling\nthe ore from the Copper Mountain mines.\nIn connection with the above two high-voltage lines the matter of inductive interference as\naffecting the telephone-lines which they parallel has arisen, and steps are being taken to reduce\ndisturbances in these cases as far as possible. During the past five years much attention has\nbeen given to this matter of inductive interference in various parts of the United States. With\nthe rapid extension of networks of high-voltage transmission-lines over large stretches of the\ncountry, interference by induction, especially with the higher voltages now being used, threatened\nto have very harmful effects on many of the telephone-lines. The report of the Joint Committee\non Inductive Interference has been completed, and the recommendations of this committee will\nbe adopted here in so far as harmful parallels between power-lines and telephone-lines are found\nto exist. The report states: \" Under normal operating conditions of the disturbing power\ncircuits, interference to telephone circuits, manifested by a humming noise from the telephone\nreceivers, is due almost entirely to the higher harmonies of the power-circuit voltages and\ncurrents; for the reason that such harmonics cover a considerable portion of the range of\nfrequencies of human speech at which telephone apparatus is most sensitive.\" And further\nstates: \" Under abnormal conditions the inductive disturbance due to a power circuit may be\nvery greatly increased. When sudden changes take place in the conditions of the power circuit\nsuch as those caused by energizing or de-energizing the circuit, or when a wire breaks and falls\nto ground, relatively large amounts of energy may be suddenly introduced into the communica- 10 Geo. 5 Inspector of Electrical Energy. J 147\ntion circuits.    These momentary impulses may be sufficient to constitute a physical hazard to\noperate protective devices or to cause severe acoustic shocks to telephone operators or users.\"\nThere were approximately 800 miles of transmission-lines of over 10,000 volts in operation\nthroughout the Province during the year.\nDistribution Systems.\nNot much new distribution pole-line work was done during the year, but some much-needed\nreconstruction-work has been carried out by several of the smaller supply companies and cities\nthroughout the Province. There is a tendency in many of the smaller towns to give insufficient\nattention to the maintenance of the pole-lines, in some cases for financial reasons and also owing\nto there being no one regularly employed by the companies or municipalities who is able to\ncarry out the required work on the overhead lines. It has been found necessary in some cases-\nto insist that regular linemen be specially employed to go over the lines and renew poles\nand cross-arms, carry out guying and dead-ending, and generally put the pole-lines in shape.\nDeterioration of poles is found to be very rapid in some parts of the Okanagan Valley and East\nKootenay, the life of poles in many case\u00ae being as low as six years, and a predominating feature\nof our inspection in these two districts was the condemning of a large number of both power\nand telephone poles which showed excessive decay at the ground-line and were considered unsafe\nboth for linemen and for the public.\nIn the City of Vancouver the British Columbia Electric Railway Company made several\nrearrangements of overhead light and power circuits which enabled them to remove approximately twenty miles of overhead wires from several of the principal streets in the central part\nof the city. A further improvement has been effected by the removal of a number of poles\nwhich stood out from the curb and were dangerous to traffic. In the City of Victoria the British\nColumbia Telephone Company effected an improvement by removing a considerable number of\npoles and overhead wires from several of the principal streets.    '\nThere is a total of approximately 1,600 miles of pole-lines in the Province for the distribution\nof electrical energy for light and power.\nUtilization Equipment.\nUnder this heading is classified all electrical equipment receiving and operating under\nelectric current for power, heating, lighting, chemical, or other purposes. Five hundred volts\ncontinues to be the usual voltage for power purposes in the larger industrial plants which have\ntheir own electric generators. Public supply, however, continues to be given at 220 volts for\npower purposes, this being the voltage most suitable for the usual large proportion of power-\nconsumers operating small-size motors. In several instances supply at 2,300 volts has been\ngiven for motors of the larger sizes. We continue of the opinion that this voltage is higher\nthan is advisable for use in industrial plants, especially where it is under the control of nonelectrical men, and consequently have continued our practice of generally allowing this voltage\nfor motors of 50 horse-power and over only, and where we consider that equipment of this voltage\nwill be treated and maintained with the care and caution which it warrants.\nPower-installations have generally been found satisfactory where the work has been carried\nout by regular electrical contracting firms, but we have found, especially in the interior parts of\nthe Province, that installations, extensions, and repairs in electrical equipment are occasionally\nattempted by men unfamiliar with standard practice or the requirements of the National Electrical Code. It invariably happens that a poor class of work results, and we have found it\nnecessary in some instances to order removal of a considerable amount of faulty wiring and\ninstallation-work.\nRegulations have been prepared and will shortly go into force for ensuring additional safety\nat all switches, fuses, and other live parts in industrial plants. The open unprotected knife-\nswitch and the unprotected fuse will be eliminated from all power circuits of 220 volts and over,\nand an externally operated type switch-box, with provision for isolating fuses from the sources\nof supply, will be made compulsory.\nThe increased use of electric furnaces and of electric arc welders and other such equipment\nwhere a high-temperature arc is used is liable to be a cause of injuries to the eyes of the\noperators or others who may be in the vicinity, and a regulation governing this is being\nintroduced.

J 151\nREPORT OF INSPECTOR OF FACTORIES.\nVancouver, B.C., March 31st, 1919.\nHon. J. II. King,\nMinister of Public Works, Victoria, B.C.\nSir,\u2014I have the honour of submitting herewith the annual report of the work of the Factory\nInspection Department for the fiscal year ending March 31st, 1919.\nThis report concerns itself with the work of Assistant Inspector Herbert Douglas and\nmyself during the fiscal year just ended. During this period we have endeavoured to maintain\nthe same standard of work as established when I assumed office the preceding year. We have,\nas in the previous year, although in a more moderate degree, felt the effect of the nine years'\nnon-enforcement of the Act, It is impossible in a report of this kind to give an entire recapitulation of the work accomplished during the year, but I have endeavoured by the following to give\nyou in condensed form a slight resume of the work performed by this office.\nSafeguarding Machinery and Accident-prevention.\nThe activity of this Department during the past year in discharging its responsibility to\nthe thousands of employees working in factories in this Province has been expended largely in\nenforcing the Safety Rules and Regulations adopted by the Workmen's Compensation Board\nsome ten months ago. Our report relative to this portion of the requirements of the \" Factories\nAct\" does not, however, cover the entire industries of the Province, as according to your arrangements some of the rural districts were allotted to the jurisdiction of the Boiler Inspectors.\nThe past year has seen a marked improvement in the prevention of industrial accidents.\nI think all those interested are convinced that the most effective way of dealing with accident-\nprevention is through the Workmen's Compensation Board, who receive a report of all accidents\nand details as to the causation, etc., from both the injured and the employer. This information\ncan be easily obtained, as the assessment of the employer and the compensation of the injured\nare at stake. The Board is also in a position, through the operation of the law, to estimate just\nwhat liability an accident entails.\nFor the purpose of assisting in enforcing the Safety Regulations, the Board has been pleased\nto appoint Mr. Douglas and myseif officials under the law. All orders are issued on their forms,\nand copies of same submitted to their office.\nCompensation has done a great deal towards making the employers more vigilant and\ncareful, realizing that it is cheaper to prevent accidents than to pay the claim. All are willing\nto do considerable from a humanitarian point of view, but the desire for prevention of accidents\nis greatly intensified by financial consideration. The responsibility, however, cannot always be\nplaced upon the employer, as we repeatedly find during our inspections guards which have been\nprovided at considerable expense set to one side or hanging back on the wall. Or, again, we will\nfind employees, through a false sense of cleverness, objecting to the use of a guard. In one\ninstance, that of a filer in a sawmill, when he was advised to wear goggles while working over\nemery-wheels, he stated that he never got emery-dust in his eyes except when he used goggles.\nThen, again, we occasionally meet with opposition through indolence or repugnance on the part\nof the foreman or superintendent of the plant, and some very amusing arguments in opposition\nto carrying out the Rules and Regulations are advanced. As an example, we might cite an\ninstance where a foreman of a sawmill, when informed that a blower system would have to be\ninstalled in the filing-room for ,the purpose of removing the emery-dust, as the inhaling of same\nwas injurious to the workmen, stated this theory was all nonsense, that the swallowing of\nemery-dust did not hurt any one. To prove his contention he cited a case of a friend of his in\nthe Old Country who, after doctoring for years for stomach-trouble, started swallowing handfuls\nof sand, which cured him, and he has been a well man ever since.\nHowever, the use of certain guards and other forms of protection now comprises a portion\nof the laws of our Province, and those who are backward in that respect are shown that they\nmust comply with the laws and keep up with the inarch of progress, either willingly or by\ncompulsion. During the year, under section 69 of the. \" Factories Act,\" we prosecuted three employees\nfor disobedience of our orders, and we do not intend to show any laxity in this matter.\nBy enforcing the use of mechanical safeguards we do not expect to entirely eliminate\naccidents, as a large proportion are due to fortuitous causes and are quite beyond the control\nof the Inspector. However, it is universally agreed that by this method the annual toll of\nsuffering- and loss can be greatly reduced.\nThrough conditions arising out of the war, women have entered industries throughout the\nProvince heretofore reserved for men. It will be admitted that the style of clothing ordinarily\nworn by women employed around power-driven machinery creates extra hazards, and in order\nto meet the changed conditions it was necessary to make special inspections, where this class\nof labour was employed, for the purpose of ascertaining as to whether or not the plant was\nadapted to the changed conditions. We have invariably found that guard-rails for belts, flywheels, and other moving parts which heretofore had proven sufficient for the men employees\nwere frequently found to be inadequate for women owing to there being a certain amount of\nhesitation in adopting the one-piece garment. Being powerless to prescribe by law the nature of\nthe garments to be worn by these industrial workers, Ave found it incumbent upon us to issue\nspecific instructions to have additional precautions taken for their safety.\nThe projecting set-screw on revolving parts of machinery has in the past been a prolific\ncause of accidents. Many serious and fatal accidents can be charged directly to the injudicious\nuse of this means of securing collars, pulleys, etc., to shafting. And believing that the most\nefficient way to prevent accidents of this nature, as in any other., is to remove the cause, we are\npleased to be able to record that we some eighteen months ago introduced in the industrial life\nof this Province a new type of headless set-screw that has had the desired effect. During the\nintroductory stage we requested one of the largest plants in the Province to equip a portion of\ntheir machinery with this form of set-screw for experimental purposes, and we have since been\nnotified that the results were so satisfactory, both from.a safety and efficiency point of view, that\nthey have removed all projecting set-screws and replaced them by those of the type referred to.\nThese set-screws can now be found in almost every plant in the Province. Since taking over the\nduties of this office some twenty-one months ago, we have caused to be removed several thousands\nof projecting set-screws in factories throughout the Province. In some of the larger plants as\nmany as 200 of these death-dealing type of set-screw have been replaced.\nThe beneficial result of the use of this set-screw is proved by the statistics of the Workmen's\nCompensation Board, which show a decrease of 75 per cent, in compensation paid for accidents,\nthe causation of which could he traced direct to projecting set-screws. We expect in course of\ntime to entirely eliminate accidents of this nature, for which there is no excuse.\nStatistics are prepared from time to time dealing with fhe number of accidental injuries\nsustained by men and women employed in industrial activities. It is comparatively easy to\ntabulate and classify results that have become a matter of record, but, on the other hand, it is\nimpossible to estimate the number of accidents that have been prevented by the installation of\nmechanical safeguards. The statement that a large number of accidents are prevented yearly\ncan hardly be questioned, and this has been conclusively proven in the shingle industry of this\nProvince, which heretofore had been classed as a very hazardous occupation owing to the\nemployees having to work in close proximity to the shingle-saw. The front or cutting portion\nof this saw was counted as one of the impossibilities of effective safeguarding, and the loss of\na large number of fingers and hands annually was looked upon as the price of industry. In\norder to dispel this impression it was necessary that a guard which would meet with the approval\nof both employer and employee must be so designed that it would not interfere with production\nand be positive and automatic in its action. Following numerous interviews with superintendents\nand foremen engaged in this industry, a guard was at last perfected by one of the shingle-mill\nforemen which has complied in all respects with the requirements referred to above. On its\ncompletion, as the Rules and Regulations of the Workmen's Compensation Board as at present\nconstituted do not specify that the cutting-face of shingle-saws be guarded, we requested the\nSafety Commissioner of the Workmen's Compensation Board to see the guard in operation, and\nif it met with the approval of the Board to have its use stipulated in the Safety Rules and\nRegulations, which we expect they will do. Nearly all the shingle-manufacturers have, however,\nafter responding to a request to see this guard in actual operation, equipped their machines with\nsame. 10 Geo. 5 Inspector of Factories. J 153\nThe foregoing experience is also applicable to those log-decks in sawmills which, owing to\nthe nature of their equipment, have no alternative but to use a chain for the purpose of loading\nand turning logs on the saw-carriage. The safe controlling of this chain depended entirely on\nthe human element, and the number of fatalities occurring through momentary forgetfulness on\nthe part of those in charge of the log-deck convinced us that some practical means should be\nprovided whereby the safety of the log-deck men would not be left to an element of chance.\nWith this end in view, Mr. Douglas and myself designed a mechanical device which was\nsubmitted to the superintendent of one of the sawmills in this city, with the request that they\ninstall same as an experiment, and the results were so satisfactory after a month's trial that the\nsuperintendent stated it not only fulfilled its purpose, but the company was already recouped for\nthe initial expenditure in efficiency in the operation.\nClIILn-LABOUR.\nThe law prohibiting the employment of boys under fourteen and girls under fifteen years of\nage has been observed during the past year with very few exceptions, only a few violations being\ndiscovered. The matter of prevention of child-labour, as I stated in my last annual report, is\nan important one and requires constant surveillance. We find this particularly so with foreigners,\nboth as employers and parents or guardians of children. As far as the average alien occupier is\nconcerned, necessity nor avariciousness knows no law, and it is obvious that any slackness of\nadministration would be disastrous.\nLaws restricting child-labour meet with the approval of the average citizen, and efforts\ntowards their enforcement are thus made comparatively easy. A great deal of difficulty is very\noften experienced, however, in judging the age of a boy or girl, for size is no criterion of age,\nespecially when the child is observed from a distance, for close observation and investigation\nmay prove the smaller child to be the older.\nThere are many difficult and perplexing situations of the child-labour problem which come\nunder the notice of an Inspector. There is often pictured to him a large family or a poor widow\nwho need the monetary assistance of the child's earnings. But, however much these appeals\naffect him, he must close his ears to them and consider the law inflexible and that he has no\ndiscretionary powers. No home exigencies of this kind should stand in the way of a child\nhaving another year or so at school, as it might be the means of changing his whole life.\nIgnorance of the provisions of the Act regarding child-labour was offered as an excuse in\nmost cases of violation by the parents or guardians of children. A few other amusing explanations were offered. One particular case might be cited\u2014that of a girl fourteen years of age, who\nwas employed at sewing. When explaining to her that the law would not permit girls under\nfifteen to be employed in factories, her elder sister came forward and volunteered the information that their parents knew this, but were under the impression that, as they were not born\nin Canada and were only a short time out from England, they would not be subject to the laws\nof this country.\nCases of some poor widows who are in need of earnings of their children below the legal\nage of industrial life are often narrated to us by employers as an instance to prove that the law\nis too strict.    Is this not a sad commentary on our boasted civilization?\nOur laws governing the age of employment of children in factories appear to be as good\nand, in fact, better than those of any of the other Provinces in the Dominion, but I think it would\nbe well to add another year to the age below that which employment is prohibited. There should\nat least be a limit to the hours of employment of boys per day. I know there are cases in our\nProvince where boys of fourteen and fifteen years of age are working nine and ten hours a day.\nSurely these hours are altogether too long for boys of this age, particularly in arduous occupations. Overwork of this kind has a tendency to ruin a child mentally, morally, and physically.\nI think all those interested in chiid-welfare will unanimously agree that it is the quality of our\ncitizenship that counts in the upbuilding of a nation, and that the State is impoverished when\nfrom any cause the material out of which useful citizens could be made is ruthlessly wasted.\nThe boys and girls of to-day are the men and women of to-morrow, and surely it would be in\nthe interests of society at large that a child should not become a victim of industrial conditions\nwhile immature and helpless. The earnings of a large percentage of children working at this\nage is taken to support the family at home, and this makes conditions more discouraging. What\nthe child forced into labour earns is taken from him, hut by and by he may discover that what he steals and keeps to himself is his to enjoy. There the foundation of a life of crime is laid\nbroad and deep. Forcing the child to labour without reward moulds his impressionable mind\nto the idea that all labour is a cruel curse put upon the poor by the rich. There the seed of\nanarchy is planted.\nThe grasping employer may get a little more profit; the smartly dressed man may get his\nsuits a little cheaper, or the fine lady her hats, because want and pain and hopelessness are\nsewn in the seams, but how much more must we pay for hospitals and prisons. No one can\ncompute the loss to the State whenever a human character is degraded, but we know that we\nmust pay it.\nHours of Labour.\nA considerable portion of the time of this Department has been taken up in compiling a list\nof the firms throughout the Province employing female labour. In the past no organized effort\nseems to have been made in this respect.\nNotwithstanding the fact that sections 16 and 77 of the \" Factories Act\" requires a notice\nto be posted in the work-room specifying the working-hours of young girls and women employed\ntherein, with the signature of the employer and Inspector affixed, the files of this office did not\ncontain copies of the forms referred to. The past year has convinced me that this is a very\nnecessary provision, as it serves as a means of preventing unscrupulous employers pleading\nignorance of the law, and serves the further purpose of acquainting the employees of their rights\nunder the law, and enables them to communicate to this office any violation of these sections of\nthe Act.\nCourt proceedings had to be taken in one instance in this city against a firm who persisted\nin violating section 12 of the Act, and resulted in a substantial fine being imposed. The publicity\nthat resulted from this prosecution had a beneficial effect, as it was a means of bringing to the\nnotice of this Department, anonymously and otherwise, a large number of small concerns\nemploying this class of labour of which we had no record, as well as inquiries from many\nemployers as to whether or not they were complying with the statutory hours of female help.\nAt the present time I have no hesitation in stating that the eight-hour law for women throughdut\nthis Province is being strictly adhered to in all industries coming within the scope of the\n\" Factories Act.\"\nThe inability of this Department to limit the hours.of labour in laundries being owned\nand operated by Orientals, who employ Oriental labour exclusively, has resulted in proprietors\nof white laundries advancing the contention that they were subjected to unfair competition\nfrom this class of labour.\nWihen it is realized that some fifty-five laundries of this nature in Vancouver and twenty-five\nin Victoria, as well as many others throughout the Province, are in active competition with our\nmodern white laundries, which are limited to a forty-eight-hour week for female employees,\nit must be admitted that some remedial legislation is necessary in order that this industry be\nplaced on a more equal basis as regards the working-hours of those employed therein.\nSanitation.\nOne of the disadvantages we encounter in enforcing the provisions of proper sanitary\nstandards in factories coming under our jurisdiction is met with in buildings which at the time\nof construction were never intended to be used as factories or work-shops; consequently no\nprovision, except in a very limited sense, was made in this respect.\nDuring the past year numerous small industries have sprung up, employing in the aggregate\neight to ten persons, the majority of which are young girls and women; and it is in the class\nof building above referred to that a great many of these factories are located. It is to be\nregretted that we still find, from time to time, throughout the Province employers who do not\nseem to realize that proper separation of the. sexes and separate approaches to lavatory conveniences are necessary. The location of lavatories in any portion of the work-room without\nan enclosure or vestibule screening the entrance is something this Department will not countenance, and we have on numerous occasions found it necessary to issue instructions to have\nthese improvements carried out.\nWe feel that in this enlightened age it should be unnecessary for the Inspector to have\nto issue an order for the installation of separate lavatories for the use of\" male and female\nemployees, as this very important provision should be made before the factory is operated. 10 Geo. 5 Inspector of Factories. J 155\nIt is gratifying to be able to record that this Department has received the co-operation of the\nemployees of the Province through notification by mail and phone of any employer who has\nneglected to conform to the requirements of the Act in this particular respect.\nIn justice to the great majority of our manufacturers, I would state that, in addition to\nproper sanitary standards being adhered to, rest and lunch rooms have been provided for the\nconvenience of those employees who reside a considerable distance from their places of employ-,?\nment, and therefore unable to return to their homes for the noonday meal. In addition to the\nprovision of a lunch-room, a number of firms provide, free of charge, tea, coffee, sugar, and milk.\nVentilation of Factories.\nNo general recommendations can be made with regard to the best system for ventilating\nwork-rooms, because of the varying conditions prevailing in different plants.\nDust* gases, fumes, and vapours are generally found to some extent in all manufacturing\nplants, and their removal presents at times a rather complex problem. We have during the\npast year found it necessary to issue orders for the removal by mechanical means of impurities\nwhich were being inhaled by the workers to an injurious extent.\nNatural ventilation by means of windows, doors, and skylights is as a rule altogether\ninadequate for work-rooms where poisonous fumes may originate. Artificial means must therefore be adopted for their removal, and we find that this is best accomplished by the use of a\nfan connected with a cylindrical type of main duct in preference to the square or rectangular.\nThe ducts should also be as straight as possible, as large as is consistent with the current of\nair to be transmitted, and as free from sharp bends as circumstances will permit. We further\nfind from experience that, wherever possible, dust, fumes, and vapours should be dealt with at\ntheir point of origin and never allowed to mix with the general atmosphere of a room.\nWe -can cite one particular instance in this city where at the time of inspection the workroom was so dusty that as a measure of relief the employees found it necessary to wear\nrespirators during the entire work-day owing to two of the machines used- in the industry\nthrowing dust which impregnated the entire work-room. In complying with the suggestions\nof this Department the location of these machines was changed, so as to segregate them from\nthe rest of the work-room. A mechanical exhaust system was installed and the dust removed\nat its source, resulting in better health to the employees and greater efficiency to the employer\nat a minimum of cost.\nLighting.\nOwing to climatic conditions there are times when it is absolutely necessary that the\nlighting units in some of our industrial plants be utilized throughout the entire work-day, and\nit is important from a safety and efficiency point of view that good illumination\u00bbshould be\nprovided.\nIn our previous year's report reference was made to several instances where the Inspector\nwas furnished with a lantern in order that a proper inspection could be made. While such has\nnot been the case this year, nevertheless it has been necessary for the Inspector at times to\nrequest that the electric generator be placed in commission in order that an inspection could\nbe made with a comparative degree of safety, both for himself and whoever was accompanying\nhim. When conditions such as these are noted, orders are issued to provide continuous lighting\nat all points where an element of danger exists.\nWhile our manufacturers to an improved degree are recognizing that proper illumination is\nessential to safety, and have provided the same, instances can be cited where the lighting has\nbeen rendered ineffective through steam escaping from defective packing and other ,causes.\nConditions such as these are not altogether a reflection on the management, but the responsibility for such conditions existing should be placed upon those in charge of the steam plant.\nWe are strongly of the opinion that the causation of a proportion of the accidents occurring\nthroughout the Province could be directly attributed to insufficient illumination, instead of that\noft reiterated statement, \" carelessness on employee's part.\"\nThe whole subject of industrial lighting was formerly assumed to consist in providing a\nstrong illumination, spaced at certain centres of the work-room, but it is gradually being\nuniversally admitted that this view is altogether erroneous. J 156 Public Works Report  (1918-19).\nIt is not brilliance alone that must be taken into consideration at the time of installation.\nThe intensity of the light at the material that is to be handled and at the sources of danger\nthat are to be avoided is of greater importance than the candle-power of the lamps themselves\nwhen same are situated outside the working-zone.\nThe best method of illumination varies with the nature of the work, and in a great many\ncases it is desirable to supplement the general diffused illumination by placing auxiliary lights\nclose to the machines that are being operated. In every case of this kind a shield should be\nprovided, if necessary, to effectively protect the eyes of the operator from the direct rays of the\nauxiliary light.\nIt is now almost generally admitted that the eyes of the workers are almost certain to\nbe injured by continued use in a poor light, and when the workers' sight is impaired there\nnaturally follows a decrease in production and an increase in the accident rate. Some manufacturers still fail to recognize that the impairment of the eyesight of the worker is a distinct\neconomic loss to his business and to the entire community, and that scarcity of illumination is\na detriment to efficiency and success.\nElevators.\nThe elevator is to-day an indispensable form of conveyance in the manufacturing and\ncommercial life of our Province, and when it is realized that thousands of people are being\ntransported by them daily the necessity of every precaution being taken to eliminate the many\nhazards connected with their operation is apparent.\nThe construction of an elevator shaftway is a very important undertaking and is not\nreceiving from the architects and contractors of the Province the attention it merits. It is\nhighly important in every case to have the interior of the shaftway flush from top to bottom\non the entrance side of elevator. Many serious and at times fatal accidents are caused by\npassengers stumbling and having their arms, legs, or bodies crushed between the car and\nprojections in the shaftway. Heretofore it had been the practice to install a so-called bevelled\nguard under all projections in the shaftway, the object being to push any projecting portion\nof the body back into the car instead of crushing it. The efficiency of this guard is open to\nquestion. In cases where the projections exceed 2 inches in width it would simply act as a\nwedge between the side of the car and shaftway, and for that reason we are having collapsible\ngates installed on passenger-elevators. This gate, if kept closed while the elevator is in motion,\nentirely eliminates this hazard. During the past year a great number of elevators in the\nProvince that come under our jurisdiction have been equipped with these gates. While there\nhas in some instances been a certain amount of hesitation in complying with this order, nevertheless we have at all times insisted that these gates be installed where necessary.\nIt is also very important that elevators be placed in charge of a competent operator and\none who understands our language and realizes the responsibility of his position. Otherwise\nan elevator or shaftway that has been equipped with safety appliances for the prevention of\naccidents may and has proved dangerous through the employment of a careless operator.\nDuring the past three months several serious and one fatal accident occurred on elevators\nthrough negligence of the operator, and in view of these occurrences I understand that the\nGovernment are contemplating amending the \" Factories Act,\" giving us control over all\npassenger elevators and operators in the Province.\nOwing to conditions arising out of the war it was very difficult for the elevator-constructors\nand supply-houses to procure cable for renewal purposes; consequently a great many cables\nhave been found by us in a dangerous condition. Needless to say, we had these cables, wherever\nfound, replaced as soon as possible. After these cables had been replaced by new ones they\nalso required careful watching owing to a large percentage of the cable that was procurable\nbeing of such an inferior quality that it would require to be replaced in from eight to ten\nmonths' time.\nComplaints.\nThe number of complaints received is greatly in excess of last year, and we believe that\nthese are brought to our attention through confidence on the part of the informants that any\nwrongs which are violations of any section of the Act and which this branch of the Government's service can remedy will have our immediate attention. The greater part of those received\nreferred to illegal employment and sanitary conditions. 10 Geo. 5 Inspector of Factories. J 157\nWith reference to complaints made anonymously, very few are verified, and, as we are\nunable to communicate with and inform the writers that the point raised is not illegal or is\noutside the scope of the \" Factories Act,\" the impression is no doubt left in their minds that\nthe Inspectors are dilatory in the performance of their duties.\nIf section 53, clause (b), were more generally understood by the employees of factories\ncoining under the jurisdiction of this Department, it would relieve this office of a great deal of\nunnecessary work and would be more satisfactory to all concerned, it has been our policy to\nencourage employees to notify us of any Infractions of the Act which may come to their notice,\nby assuring them that the informant's name would not be divulged, and. thdt all complaints,\nwritten or oral, would be treated as strictly confidential.\nMany of the complaints deal with matters entirely outside the Act, and it is sometimes\namusing to observe what omnipotent powers Inspectors are deemed by some members of the\npublic to possess. For example, a lady complained to us lately that machinery contiguous to\nher work made too much noise while in operation and requested us to have this matter remedied.\nIn conclusion, I wish to thank you yourself, sir, and also the Deputy Minister, for the\nhearty encouragement and assistance that you have both rendered me during the year in the\nperformance of my duties.\nAll of which is respectfully submitted.\nYours obediently,\nR.

J 161\nPumps.\nOwing to the exceptionally heavy rainfall, particularly in the Matsqui District, extending\nfrom about May 24th to 30th, the water inside the dyke gradually gained on the pumps,\nespecially at No. 1 Pumping Station, for several days, until some of the low-lying areas were\nmore or less flooded, although the pumps were working to their full capacity until the water\nwas reduced to normal.\nDuring the present year a large area in the Matsqui Prairie has been formed into a drainage\ndistrict, under the provisions of the \" Drainage Dyking and Development Act,\" and a contract\nlet to the Northern Construction Company for carrying out the work.\nAs a result of improving and increasing drainage facilities, the run-off from the remote\nportions of the drainage area will reach the pumps in a much shorter time than it does under\npresent conditions.\nIn order, therefore, to increase the capacity of discharge of the pumping plants, necessitated\nby the new conditions, a contract has been entered into with the Vancouver Machinery Depot\nfor the installation of two new electrically driven pumping plants, one each at No. 1 and No. 2\nPumping Stations; the capacity of discharge of the new plant at the former to be about 20,000\ngallons per minute and at the latter about 15,000.\nThe existing plants have a capacity of discharge of about 20,000 gallons per minute each.\nAccording to the terms of the contracts, the works in connection with the drainage and the\ninstallation of new plants, respectively, are to be completed before high-water season next\nyear.\nMaple Ridge Pumping Plant.\nAs the two old wooden pumps have been in operation for about twenty-five years, they are\nliable to break down through decay of the timber. They should be replaced after the next\npumping season with modern centrifugal pumps having a capacity of discharge of at least\n20,000 gallons per minute each. The electric motors already installed would be suitable for\noperating the new pumps.\nSluice-gates, Matsqui.\nAs the two wooden four-gate sluices at Pumping Stations No. 1 and No. 2, respectively,\nwere beginning to show signs of decay, it was decided to replace them with reinforced-concrete\nsluices, having an area of discharge 50 per cent, greater than the old sluices.\nIn response to au advertisement for tenders for carrying out the work, the bid of J. A.\nMackenzie for the sum of $11,720.60, being the lowest, complying with required conditions, was\naccepted, and the work is now in course of construction.\nRiver protection.\nAs mentioned in last year's Report of the Inspector of Dykes, protection-work for a length\nof about 1,000 feet near the tipper end of Matsqui Dyke is urgently required to prevent further\nencroachment by the river.    While unchecked this encroachment forms a serious menace to the\nsafety of the dyke.\nRespectfully submitted.\nE. A. Wilmot,\nInspector of Dykes.\nVICTORIA, B.C.:\nPriuted by William H.
