Dominion
Aid
For

The

Board
of

was
in
communication
with
the
Prince
Rupert
Chamber
of

at
last
night's
meeting
seeking
endorsation
for
a
resolution
advocating
a
national
highway
program
whereby
the
Dominion
would
assist
the
provinces.
This,
the
Calgary
Board
feels,
would
be
the
only
effective
means
of
meeting
the
highway
problem.
It
was
hoped
to
bring
the
proposal
before
Parliament
at
the
present
session.
The
matter
was
referred
to
the
highway
committee
with
power
to
act,
the
feeling
appearing
to
be
that
the
Idea
was
worthy

support.

BILL
OTTAWA
A

bill
has

tabled
in
the
House
of
Commons.
The
bill
limits
the
powers
vt
the

government
to
deal
with
transitional
emergency
conditions.
The
bill,
as
it
was
orig
inally
introduced
into
the
House
some
time
ago,
drew
fire
from
the
opposition
benches
on
the
ground
that
it
was
almost
as
sweeping
as
the
War
Measures
Act,
which
it
was
replacing.
Speaking
in

that

would

powers
as
