SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1912 PRICE $2.00 A YEAR TO DEVELOP Expenditure of Sixteen Millions for Public Undertakings is Proposed in House ESTIMATES PRESENTED Ambitious Program of Improvements Include. Five Million! for Road, and Bridget���Prorogation of Legislature Expected on Tuetday or Wednesday (Special to The Miner) Victoria, Feb. 23:���The session is rapidly drawing to a close.
