Threatening to
Close Bridge
_ Hight Months

Dr. Writch, member for Skeena in
the provincial legislature writes the
Herald that the Department of Public
Works expects to be ready to start on
the construction of the new Hagw ilget
bridge: about the first of Muy aud that
for the next eight months the bridge
will be closed to traffic. He suyvests
‘thet ail operators who are, or who ex-
pect to use the bridge prepare fer the
closing fer that period.

Needless to say this is goiny to. work
a great hardship on the district, and

spects for much heavier traffic over
the bridge than at any time since it
was’ built, Not only will there be tim-
ber ond’ore coming to the railway. but
we have information that. there will
be several carloads of mining imacbin-
ery to go across the bridge tc the mines
ou Nine, Four anid Glen »ionntains.

When Deputy Minister Patrick Phii-
ip was here some time ago part of his
argument, against building at Hagwil-
|get was that it would “lose the bridge

to traffic for eight months, At that
time practically ereryone considered
that Mr. Philip was blirffine, there
has been no*chinge in puolie opinion
since. To tear down one small bridge
before another ean be bniit does not
reflect very favorably wpon the engin-
eering ability of those in charge of the
provincial department of public works.
The bridge contractors might lave a
little to say about the matter, unless
of course the engineers. stipulate in, the
specifications that the presen? bridge

must be demolished. before anything is
done on, the new one, ‘But. one thing
is sure, the people of the district are
not going to be stampeded into chang-

IMPROVEMENTS SAT THE DEPOT

Are Being Advoeated by Local Live.
Wires—IT Looks Ead now

What to do about the depot grounds
is a question that is attracting consid-
ernble attention from a number of the
brogressive people in Terrace. There
is a desire that the depot be moved a
few hundred feet west of the present
site and that it be enlarged yery ma-
terlally. Were it moved to the new
lovation the railway company could
then easily make 2 sniuil park with o
public driveway around it, thus iInak,
ing this a very attractive spot. The
compiny would then have a good hig
yurd on both sides of the station to
provide facilities for the increasing
freleht traffie. There would be room

side ot the track for a house track, a
conrenienve not now enjoyed by the
town liusiness: men. . The new -house
track would also do away with cross:

‘These improvements, if they

entail moving the level crossing at the
west end ‘of the station yard, one block
further west. to willow for- ample train
room, Moving the crossing would not
be a serious matter,”
