“Let me now refer to our road

back to 1949, I was told that the
Cariboo Highway which was then
under construction, and still is,

Madam Speaker, and we are still ap.

“Let me now express my disap-
poiutment in the government for
not proceeding with the construction
of the Pacific Great Eastern Railway
from Squamish to North Vancouver.
The government must be aware of
the tremendous volume of material!
that is now straining the present!
facilities of the PGE, and while the!
bottleneck at-Squamish remains, this
railway cannot hope to operate ata
profit. The Powell River Pulp &
Paper company are now hauling
pulp logs on this railway from Ques-
nel to Squamish at the rate of nin2
carloads a day, and it is expected
that the number of logs hauled daily
will be greatly increased in ihe near
future. Despite the fa ‘t that people
in a certain section of this province
would prefer to have roek gardens
