Rehabilitation Brief- Announcement earlier this week that L'ie city's brief asking comperi-j-j-..icn for its pitted streets has been ji-osented to the federal government by the interservice qommittee which made an on-the-spJt investigation hjere last November gives rise to hope that a really substantial street repair program is in the offing this summer. j Plans already laid by City Council tp rehabilitate the city's devastated roadways will be bolstered by the funds made available through a just settlement for the damage wrought by overloading wartime traffic. And the reported attitudes of Brigadier Walsh and his navy and air force associates on the committee would inrliVntp that their recommendations to the government will be at least! sympathetic. Total amount estimated by the City Engineer to rehabilitate the city's streets is $344,000. How much of this will be received as compensation is unknown, but it is hoped that it will be the greater part. It is also hoped that, in line with a proposal by .Mayor 'Daggett, that such part of the estimate as is not paid to the city as direel compensation will be made available in the way of a low interest loan to complement the compensatory funds in completing the street rehabilitation program. ! zzz NAMED FOR 'IKE" -Mount Elsenhower Is the new name given this peak in the Canadian Rockies, between Banff and Lake Louise in Alberta, to honor General of the Army, Dwight D. Elsenhower, formerly supreme commander of the Allied Armies In Europe and now chlef-of-staff of the United States .Army. The announcement changing the. name frc4n Castle Mountain was' made by Prime Minister Mackenzie King on January 10 at a Canadian Club luncheon in Ottawa where the famous American soldier was guest speaker. Resemblance to a giant' mediaeval keep gave the first name to the eight-mile long mountain whose highest point towers 9.380 feet aboVe sea level. Formations easily idenUfied as turrets, bastions and battlements rise over( 4,000 feet from the valley floor. Back, In the eighties there was a short-lived mining camp- at the base of the mountain while during the First Great War a large internment camp was there. Jackets j styled by 1 g. W. G.

Signs are not lacking that mining, which has lain dormant throughout the. war years, win I see a considerable revival of activity in the field during the 1 coming year. Much,, of. course, iwill depend upon how theprices of metals are aHected by the international monetary and fis cal readjustments. As for. ceal mining in the Hulkley Valley, people of that area are firmly convinced that nripnnate nort facilities at Prince Rupert for the handling of coat constitutes one of the last remaining needs before the production and disposal of thousands of tons of coal from that area will be feasible. "I have seen with my own eyes orders for thousands of tons of coal which, could be shipped through I'rinee Rupert, if you had the bunkering facilities there to handle i. said a prominent- Smithers man to the Daily News yrsler. day. Meanwhile those Interested in the development of the timber Industry see the need of amelioration of freight rates and government royalty and stump-age charges as essential to th maintenance of the milling in-industry.
