Dear Sirs,

Ll have read with interest the
proposed road grid and ac: ”

the Herald. of. July: 3ist.
Especially of ‘interest is the,
proposal ta continue highway 14
from the new bridge crossing t
the vicinity of Frank road, with,
an overpass at (hat point over
the railway. This is the same
proposal pul forward by the
former Provincial Govern-
ment when Phil Gaglardi was
Minister of Highways. This
would entail the purchase of
large tracts of highly valuable
property and high, long un-
sightly approaches on. both
sides of the railway and present
highway. The land on the south

Grid

Keith to the under-pass could
follow along the present bank or
at very little extra cost strike
boldly out into the river cutting
off five acres or more, which the
sawmills would be happy to fill
with, their waste from yard
clean-ups, s0, instead af
spending up to $260,000.00 to buy
property, this | reclaimed
property would have a similar
-value on the,credil side of the
“ledger. Also, this has been a
source of expense of the railway
aver ‘the years, and further
erosion al this point will mean
further large expenditures .to
protect theirgrade, so they may
be willing to co-operate in a
scheme. such as I have
‘ proposed, by supplying a large
portion of the heavy rock
required. They. did rip-rap the
bank here for about half a mile
in the 1940s and the higher bank
upstream. fram’ where Keith
would meet the river, where
they were able lo dump more
rock; has stayed all these years,
Biving © protection '‘lo’-what
. remains. of [the farm_in. thal
area. . . -
Lrealize this is a bold scheme,
and when one looks at it al first
itseems impractical. However,
ihe rock fill needed isn’t much
larger than a lot of those on our
present highways. Large,
heavy rock would be needed to

break the force of the current,

bul behind that the grade could

bé built up with smaller rock or .

grovel, A supply of heavy rock
would have to be readily
available for a couple of years
as the current has a tendency to

undermine the rock, causing it -

to setlle and further rock must
be added until undermining
, ceases, . ‘
Well, there are always
-alternalive ideas 10. all
problems, and this is mine. to
the problem of where ta go with

the highway ‘once the present, ~

overpass is no longer con-
sidered adequate.

Sincerely,
F, Frank

The B.C. Automobile
Association says the average
driver {ravels approximately
500,000 miles in a lifetime
driving period of 50 years, and
at the rate of 13.4 miles per.
gallon, he would consumer
about 37,313 gallons of gasoline.
. If proper driving habits were
learned in driver education
eourses, the BCAA says that
figure could be reduced by 10
percent , saving 3,731 gallons of
gas per driver over a lifetime.
