NEW HAZELTON,

One Bridge to
Cross Bulkley
Say Engineers

The following despatch from
toria is taken from the Yaneouve er Pro-
Vinee i—

“After*months of envéful investiga. |
tion the engineers uf the public worke
departinent nave’ discovered a new
site for a bridge aecrass the Builkler
viver, to replace the Hagwilget Canyot
: suspeusiua bridge. Surveys ere be
ing carried out now to find satisfac-
tory appronches to the praposed site.
which is uiear the river edge, and would
Inake construction relatively inexpen-
sive.

“The new site lies between the sus:
pension bridge and the bridge connec-
tion with the old town of Hazelton,
und thus would take the place of both
of these strnetures which are nearin;
the end of their nsefulness.

“The scheme now
vestigation thus would save large
mms of money conpared with the cost
of a new suspension bridge, provided
satisfactory appronehes can be narran-
Hed. The project will be one of the
dnost important undertukings in the
north in‘ vacent years,”

The ubove is no doubt a “kite” sent
ont from ‘Victoria to learn, if possible
what the people think of it. There ix
spme truth in the despatch and there
is some fiction, The statements are
very vague and are apen for nnyone
to read any meaning. into them they

TERRACE FALL FAIR DEAD?

es

The following resolution was ‘pass-
ed at a recent meeting of the Terrace
Fall Fair Board -—

“Be it resolved that our term of of-
fice having expired and two public
meetings having been catled, both of
which lacked a quoram, we hereby ad-
journ and ussuine no future responsi-
bilities as to a Terrace Fair”

At the above meeting arrangements
were Mnally made whereby all the
books of the Association are to be held
by Mrs. Sundal’ until such time as the
public show interest by re-o rganizing,

This lack of interest and neglect on
the - part ‘of the public: ta. respond -to
the call to méet the Fair Association
is regrettable: It will’ probably result
in Terrace not being able to_ resurrect
the fair at a later date. There is a
érowing feeling that the day of the
fail fair inthe smaller centres {s about
aver. ‘The provincial government is
; Mot eucouraging any more fairs to start
and many of the members are opposed
‘to the provineial grants to so many
‘fairs, It 1s almost certain that if the
:Focal fair is allowed to drop for one
year that it will be dropped from the
jHist ‘of assisted fairsby the provincial
jSovernment. Now is. the time to save
the fair and not next sunmer, But if
the public is not in favor of a fuir now
is also the logical time to drop it.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Beard of Trade was heid in the G. W,
V. A. hall and there was a very fair -
attendance. The regular business of
the meeting was. set aside for the pur-
pose of discussing the public works re-
quirements of the district, the Public
Works committee having asked that
this matter be discussed so that an
early. application. might be made to
receive allotments when the road re-
pair work money was being distribut-
ed. It was. very evident when the
matter was introduced for considera-
tion that there were so many roads,
trails and bridges in the vicinity re-
quiring attention and that all of them
were in such condition that it was dit-
ficult to segregate the more pressing
ones. After several hours discussion
it was decided to appoint a commit-
tee to condense the requests as far as
possible and report back at a future
meeting, Routine business then came
in for attention and the meeting ad-
