Rock Bay wants road CAMPBELL RIVER, B.C. For the past 10 years residents of Rock Bay have been forced to use an abandoned indusirial road as their only outlet connecting Rock Bay with Sayward Road junction, a distance of nearly 12 miles. In these 12 miles there are nine bridges, all of which have been condemned, while the, road itself has long ‘been in a state of: disrepair. Now residents are demanding that the Bennett government, which this week was boasting of its road-building record, undertake the necessary work to bring the Rock Bay road up to the standard of a secondary highway. In a brief and petition to be presented to the government this week by a delegation headed by I: F. Mortenson, residents point out that all mail now has to go via Vancouver because Rock Bay has no direct road connection with Is- land centres. They also point to the prob- lem faced by parents of school-age children. Rock Bay school closed down before the end of last term because there were ‘too few pupils to justify its remaining open, but parents have no way of sending their children to the adjacent school district except by a road which the Rock Bay Petition Com- mittee describes as “a menace to the safety of life and property.” PATRONIZE S ARNE LS COFFEE SHOP 410 Main St. Operated By GEORGE & WINNIFRED GIBBONS NEW ZENITH CAFE 105 E.
