was
forged.
Eastern
British
Columbia
greeted
its
western
brothers!
Markets
and
railways
were
brought
closer
to
the
farmer,
the
miner,
the
Industrialist.
New
fields
for
agricultural
and
trade
development
were
opened
up.
Fqr.the
ten
years
just1
past,
an
aggressive
hlfc'way
programme
has
been
carried
out.
Thousands
of
miles
of
good
roads
and
dozens
of
.sturdy
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,
concrete
and
cement
concrete.
The
5,MH)
miles
which
were
added
to
our
roada
system
Include:
884
mile
of
main
trunk
roads,
602
miles
of
lateral
roads,
2Sl
miles
of
industrial
and
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,
a
large
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
and
workmanship
on
temporary
bridges
and
to
renew
all
the
large
bridges
on
main
highways
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
Province
and
has
been
a
material
aid
in
bringing
about
the
current
period
of
Brilish
Columbia's
prosperity.
