at
a
meeting
of
the

Board
of
Trade,
Dr.
H.
C.
Wrinch,
M.L.A.,
described
at
some
length
the
position
of
affairs
in
connection
with
the
proposed
road
from
Hazelton
to
the
Alaskan
border.
He
outlined
the
history
of
the
movement
which,
he
said,
was
altogether
an
American
movement
Premier
Tolmie
had,
with
much
enthusiasm,
joined
in
.supporting
the
proposal
ana
the
principal
officers
of
the
province,
together
with
several
of
the
high-ups
in
the
United
State
and
many
people
associated
with
automobile
dubs
and
the
like,
had
taken
part
in
a
caravan

of

B.C.
roads
leading
to
Hazelton
whence
the
new
road
was
to
proceed
through
'Northern
B.C.
and
the
Yukon
to
Alaska.
He
had
no
word
of
opposition
to
offer
to
the
movement,
in
fact
.he
was
strongly
in
favor
of
it,
but
he
wanted
the
whole
position
to
be
thoroughly
understood
before
any
Canadian
money
was
put
into
It.
He
objected
to
Americans
trying
to
get
the
road
built
at
the
expense
of
British
Columbia.
He
could
see
where

doubts
as
to
the
value
of
the
return
which
would
come
from
It.
He
saw
that
some
people
who
wanted
to
be
concessionaires
had
stated
that
they
were
willing
to
spend
twenty
million
dollars
on
the
pro

putting
the

a
good
condition,
a
work
which
was

said,
