‘Canyon Road Work

Costs $400,000 Mile

Making a modern speed highway out
of the historic Fraser Canyon road
is an expensive proposition.

A contract to be let shortly for a
section of the road only 1.33 miles in
length will run to $541,006, or at the
tate of $400,000 per mile.

Part of the reconstruction of the
highway to bring it up-to Trans-
Canada standards, the stretch is
known as the Bell Crossing section,
a short distance north of the old toll
gate at Yale.

It is almost solid-rock work for the
entire distance, and’ the railway line
below, so that great care must be
takén in blasting.

Low bidder on the job was Highway
Construction Company, but tenders
ran as high \at‘$9.0,000. And this does
not include paving which will be a
separate contract after the grade is
built.

BRIDGE LAKE

Veto Plan To Supply
Milk For Factory

Members of the Bridge Lake Farm-
ers’ Institute and members of the 1951
Fall Fair Committee met at the In-
stitute hall July 8.

A letter read from a spokesman
for a number of farmers in the lower
North Thompson valley asking mem-
bers if the Bridge Lake Farmers In-
stitute would be interested in supply-
ing milk to a proposed co-operative
cheese factory.

After full discussion of the matter,
the secretary was instructed to give
a negative answer to the letter. Milk-
ing cows, it was said, does not pay
for the labor and other expense in-
volved.

It was revealed that $25 is being
offered as prize money for the best
agricultural team of horses to be
shown at the Fall Fair. The same
amount is being offered for the best
beef type calf born in 1951 and sub-
stantial prizes are ‘to be offered for
chickens and lambs.

A work party is to improve the
grounds on July 15, The car parking
space will be much enlarged. There
will be keen rivalry this year between
the various sub-committees in the
matter of improving every section of
the fair.

Refreshments were served by mem-
bers of the North Bridge Lake Wom-
ens’ Institute before the meeting
adjourned.

Next meeting will be held at the
Institute Hall on August 4, at 2 p.m.
