Dr. King. Things Dominion Should Share Cost of New ~ Approach. | A day or two ago in Victoria an interview was sought by a Daily. News representative witli Hon. Dr. King, minster of public works, in regard to the delay in the building of the public whart at Stewart. The wharf is badly needed and in view of the expected rush to that place this coming spring, its erection is matter of public urgency. Dr. King explained that the erection of wharves was not a provincial matter, as it had been agreed between the Provincial aud Dominion Governments that work of this kind should be undertaken by the latter. The Stewart wharf built by the Provincial Govern- ment had been transferred to the Dominion by onder in council, the only condition being that it should be kept in repair. The approach to the wharf was built by the Do- minion. The Dominion Government had expected to renew the long ap- proach, which originally cost something like $25,000, and which today, it was estimated, would nearly $50,000, The Pro- vincial Government had, however, built a mile and a half of road from a point near the wharf to Hyder at great cost and following this the Dominion conceived the idea of building a wharf from this road and thus saving the cost of rebuilding the approach. in order to connect the wharf with Stewart it would be necessary to expend another $30,000 in build- ing a road or the Dominion Goy- ernment would bave to repair the trestle. Should Share Cost. Having in view the saving to the Dominion of the new pro- posal the Provincial Government suggested that the Dominion share the cost of the new piece of road, and this they refuse to do. It was this difference of opinion that kept the Dominion from going ahead with the work. In the meantime, . however, the Provincis' Government has trans- ferred the site to the Dominion so there is nothing to prevent the new wharf being built at once, Dr. King says the Provincial Gov- ernment has made no provision for the building of the rest of the noad and he thinks that in view of the saving to the Do- minion they should~ share the cost. The new read built by the Pro- vincial Government is now in use connected with the Dominion Government trestle but the ap- proach is in bad condition and the present arrangement is only tem- porary. Dr. King very much inter- ested in the development of the mining town and says he thinks the road they have already built, along with ofher improvements completed and eontemplated, will have a good effect on the business of the place as the town is now connected with the rich Premier and other mines. He was emphatic that the Pro- vincial Government had not de- layed the improvements at that place. It is understood that the Do- minion Government will proceed with the erection of the whart early in the spring.
