ROAD
SURFACE
INEXCUSABLE
Smithers
Man
Says
"God
Help
Drivers
on
Highway
Between
Terrace
and
Prince
Rupert"
"It
is
as
prettily
engineered
and
constructed
road
as
could
be
seen
anywhere
ancTthe
scenery
and
natural
beauty
is
unexcelled
but
in
Its
present
inexcusabla
condition
as
far
as
the
surface
is
concerned
it
is
certainly
not
sale
to
drive
wet,"
says
F.
W.
Powers,
veteran
Canadian
National
Railways
locomotive
engineer
from
Smithers
of
the
section
of
highway
from
Terrace
into
Prince
Rupert.
Mr.
Powers
is
visiting
in
the
city
for
a
few
days
with
Mr.
and
Mrs.
C.
W.
Sies
after
driving
In
over
the
Prince
Rupert
Highway.
With
them
he
will
return
to
Smithers
this
week.
'
The
road
from
Smithers
to
Terrace
Mr.
Powers
says
is
in
good
shape
but,
with
Its
wash-boardy
surface
and
potholes,
"God
help
those
who
drive
between
Terrace
and
Prince
Ru-tjert."
It
seems
a
shame
to
Mr.
Powers
that
it
should
be
in
this
condition
when
"all
that
Is
needed
is.
to
keep
a
good
grader
nfov-ing
over
it."
From
an
engineering
standpoint,
Mr.
Powers
speaks
highly
of
the
road
to
traverse
which
one
can
drive
all
the
-way
from
Terrace
to
Prince
Rupert
without;
gclng
into
second
gear.
