Kenney, M.L.A., in company with the) ¢ J ssistant district engineer, paid a visit to New Hazelton and met quite a re- The object of the meeting was to dis- y «nsx, and, if possible, arrive at a fin- itt decision as to where the new cut- «ff on the malin highway should be uilt. . There was a good deat of discussion Tut early in the afternoon it was easy to sve that, there would be no agree- mrent on the part of the cltizens. It. wis quite plain that there are two. fuetions of. the local Liberal Associa- | tion and ho matter what the question | wvas those two factlous would Tine up- in opposite camps. * tile post on the inain highway, and M that is xhont fow miles east of New ® iluveltes. - it Wis decided some tis ago to find a different ronte with an easier grade and not se many curves vs there are on the old rente, litged inte a with a few more finprovements, in- vested with the title, niutemobile rend. For a year or two surveyors were - employed to find that route, although au, mM ihe provincial government had a map : tm Victoria and elsewhere of ‘the roads allowed in surveying New Hazelton fm 3s iu townsite. Those roads were ns straight os a die; the stakes were in the ground and anyone uf severs! of them could havé been followed with- ait any surveyor. After a lot of survey expense it was ‘levided to use Ninth Ave. as the B. wnnin highway for most. of the distrnee amd then angle off to the old highway Work was started and a good deal of it was done previous to the last pro- Meg. ‘incial election. But instead of fol- aes lowing the Ninth Ave. lines the road | was shoved south onto private pro- , verty for @ distance of seventeen hin- ‘ dved feet making the road allowance over that distanee 120 feet. That lett the whole question of. the read up in i 4 the air, and that is where it is yet. But that is nat wk Many in town are of the opiniow that the roud should tave heen brought through town on Venth Ave. where there would hive heen a hetter grade. fewer eurves, but most Dnporkuat of | aicthe ei be erassed con oa high level and hwo Tow level crossings done away with. ‘Those two low level crossings are at ench end of a leh embankment that is also ona curve.
