NEED'FOR

.The
artioIe-iJupiis&cd-yesWr
Jay
'epitomizing
the
opinion
of
the
mining
men
of
the
interior
that
the
smelter
should
be
erected
near
the
mouth
of
the
Skeena
River
proved
very
interesting
reading
to
many
who
were
not
aware
that
the
Consolidated
Mining
&
Smelting
Company
were
so
heavily
interested
in
the
district.
In
the
circumstances
they
would
seem
to
be
the
logical
people
to
erect
and
operate
the
smelter.

was

Eastern
British
Columbia
greeted
Its

Markets

were
brought
closer
to
the

the

the
Industrialist.
New
fields
for
agricultural
and
trade
development
were
opened
up.,
For
the
ten
years
just
past,
an
aggressive
hlg'iway
programme
has
been
carried
out.
Thousands
of
mllc9
of
good
roads
and
dozens
of
tturdy
bridges
have
been
built.
Our
roads
system
now
totals
31,900
miles
.
.
.
an
Increase
of
over
5,000
miles
during
the
last
ten
years.
Of
this
mileage,
12,000
miles
are
earth
roads;
4,000
gravel
roads;
and
1,000
macadam,
bituminous,

and

concrete.
The
5,000
miles
which
were
added
to

system
Include:
884
miles
of
main
trunk
roads,
602
miles
of
lateral
roads,
281

of
industrial

mining
roads,
1,133
miles
of
settlement
and
farm
roads,
and
2,000
miles
of
ordinary
and
mining
trails.
During
the
years
Just
before
1917,
n
lurgo
nuralxir
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
theso
structures
has
been
a
serious
one,
involving
a
large
ex
pendlture,
particularly
between
tho
years
1920
and
1927.
The
policy
has
been
to
Improve

on

and
to
