First the trails . . , then the rough oxcart ruts . . . the wagon roads . . . the automobile highways.

With the opening of the Cariboo Highway through Fraiicr Canyon In 1926, the last link of British Columbia's jfreat arterial hlfthwuy ... a highway unexcelled the world over as an engineering feat and one of unmatched scenic beauty . . . was forged. Eastern British Columbia greeted Its western brothers! Markets and railways were brought closr to the farmer, the miner, the Industrialist. New fields for agricultural and trade development were opened up. For the ten years Ju;t past, an aggressive highway programme has been carried out. Thousands of miles of good roads and dozens of sturdy bridges have been built. Our roods system now totals 31,900 miles . . . an Increase of over 5,0C0 miles during the last ten years. Of this mileage, 12,0(50 miles arc earth roads; 4,000 gravel roads; and 1,000 macadam, bituminous, concrete and cement concrete. The 5,000 miles which were added to our roads system Include: 884 miles of main trunk roads, 602 miles of lateral roads, Ml miles of industrial and mining roads, 1,M miles of settlement and farm roads, and 2,800 miles of ordinary and mining trails. ' During the years just before 1917, a lrgt number of bridges had been constructed in the Province, nearly all of which were temporary timber structures. Since 1917, the problem of , maintenance and renewal of these structures has been a serious one, Involving a large expenditure, particularly between the years 1920 and 1927. The policy has been to improve design of end workmanship on temporary bridges and to renew nil the large bridges on main highw tys over the principal rivers with concrete and steel. Today, the valuation of our 63 miles of bridges Is nine million dollars. This construction activity has distributed wages and salaries over our whole Tiovlrce and has been a material aid In bringing at t ut the current period of Drltlsh Columbia's prosperity.
