Delay Labor Talks OTTAWA The meeting here of provincial ministers of labor to talk over collective bargaining legislation and other matters has been postponed from October 7 to October 15. Irlopeful of Early Settlement Of Rupert Highway Ownership Provincial Public Works Minister Hon. E. C. Carson is "very hopeful" that negotiations between the provincial government and Canadian National Railways for jurisdiction over a portion of the Skcena highway on C.N. right-of-way will be com- pleteu in the near luture. i The cabinet minister told members of the executives of the Chamber of Commerce and the Automobile Association last night that the provincial government is likely to have owner ship of the 77-mlle section of highway shortly and that efforts would be made to Improve and maintain It In reasonable condition. BRIEF VISIT HERE With A. L. Carruthers, departmental chief engineer, and D. T. Willis of Smithers. assist ant district engineer, the Minister was Interviewed Informally by the leaders of the two bodies during a brief visit to the city after a motor trip from Prince George and Smithers. He arrived in the city shortly after 5 p.m. and sailed on the Princess Adel aide five hours later. Mr. Carson told his dozen in terviewers that he was aware of the importance of the Prince Rupert-Prince George highway, and said that it would be "ex tremely foolish" to let the por Hon of the highway between this city and Terrace deteriorate any furUier. EQUIPMENT SCARCE However,, he said, the government is finding it impossible to obtain road maintenance and building equipment at the present time. He said that the Public Works department has $500,- C00 worth of equipment on or der, but 13 unable to get delivery of any of It. From his own observation, he said, he believed that It would take large quantities of surfacing material to put the Prince Rupert-Terrace section of the road in proper condition. He admitted that present district maintenance grants . are not adequate to maintain the highway properly, and implied that when the province gains title to the 77-mlle section now under negotiation, the grants will have to be Increased to take care of It. NEW SURVEY AT QUINITSA The Minister said that a survey is being made at Qulnitsa, where the road has been repeatr edly blocked by winter snow slides, in order to divert the highway through a safe area. He gave no details of the pro- jelted plan, but said that the matter is actively in hand. Questioned about a survey for a western route to Join the Alaska highway, running north from Hazelton, the Minister said t,hat in his opinion the 22,000 miles of existing n:gn-ways in the province would have to be given attention before sulh a project was attempted. Referring to the 80-mlle breaK between Hansard and McBrlde, east of Prince Oeorge, Mr. Car son declared that he had no houe of starting work on that section of road for at least two years. He asserted that the two major nroiects now under construction the Hope-Princeton hignway and the pine Pass highway-would have to be completed be fore any new construction could be begun. SEEK FEDERAL GRANTS The provincial government is neeotlatine with the federal Government for federal grants for the construction of inter- Drovincial and international hishways. but no results have been achieved yet in this regard, the minister told his interview ers. He said that the Hansard-McBrlde cut-off would come under this category, since It is an lnterprovlnclal link. Mr. Carson emphasized that he was speaking only as one member of the government, and was not in a position to commit the government In matters of policy. Since his recent appointment as Public Works minister. he added, he had taken a good deal of time to familiarize him self with conditions throughout the province. J. C. Brady, local District Pub 11c Works Engineer, attended the conference with Mr. Carson. The minister was thanked on behalf of the Chamber of Commerce Highway committee and the Automobile Association by W. F. Stone, Chamber of Commerce president. Milk Prices Increase As Subsidy Goes Fluid milk nrices in Prince Rupert took a jump Ml i 1 j oi almost two cents a quart today as the federal government dropped its subsidy of 55 cents per 100 pounds of milk. Canned milk prices are ex pected to increase from 35 to 40 cents a case over September prices when presnt stocks are exhausted, local grocers anticipate. The price of fluid milk this morning increased from Eix quarts for $1.00 to 6 quarts for $1.10: Increase is from 17 cents a quart to approximately 1? cents. Pint bottles of milk Jumped from 9 cents to 10 cents. NO PROVINCE SUBSIDY In Victoria last night a prp vinclal government spokesman said that the government, will not subsidize the B.C. milk industry as It would create a In Vancouver and Vlclom where milk prices also have risen, housewives have staged protest demonstraUons. Although food wholesalers have received permission to Increase the price of their stocks of can ned milk now on warehouse floors, grocers say that they do not anticipate a general Increase In price until their present stocks, bought at the subsidized price, are exhausted. OLD STOCK GOING "It won't be long." said one grocer. "We have about 100 cases of old 6tock left, and wnen mat Is gope . we will have buy at the new price." EvaDorated and condensed milk will sell at one cent a can higher than formerly. Powdered milk also will be in creased by the cessation of fed eral government producer subsidies, but the amount of the Increase is not jec certain In Prince Rupert.
