NCEMENT
in
the
provincial
public
works
estimates,
tabled
in
the
Legislature,
of
an
appropriation
of
$25,000
for
a
diversion
of
the
Prince
Rupert
Highway
to
by-)ass
the
chronically
troublesome
'Kwinitsa
slide
is
doubly
satisfactory,
primarily,
of
course,
because
it
will
cut
out
directly
passing
the
point
where
winter
snows
completely,
smother
the
road
on
its
present
route
but,
second
and
possibly
most
important,
because
it
.definitely
implies
assumption
of
responsibility
for
the
road
by
the
provincial
government
something
which
had
never
been
definitely
settled
to
date.
The
action
implied
in
the
.Kwinitsa
diversion
appropriation
is
something
that
the
Prince
Rupert
Chamber
of
Commerce,
the
Prince
Rupert
Automobile
Association
and
other
interested
local
bodies
have
been
strongly
advocating
ever
since
the
big
tie-up
a
year
ago
because
of
the
snowslide
there.
That
their
representations,
have
been
needed
is
gratifying.
The
direct
interest
in
the
Prince
Rupert
Highway
now
shown
by
the
provincial
government
in
th&joad
will,
it
is
hoped,
manifest
Itself
in
many
more
improvements
which
the
road
requires
and
which
will
become
more
apparent
again
when
the
coast
artery
gets
open
again
this
year
for
traffic,
j
Of
course,
we
will
never
be
satisfied
until
it
is
made
a
standard
hard-surfaced
highway
but
there
are
other
important
things
that
might
be
done
in
the
meantime,
such
as
making
the
much
needed
improvements
on
the
old.

A'icinity

SATISFACTORY

SATISFACTORY
appointment
is
that
of
Thomas
B.
Black
as
the
new
general
manager
of
the
Northern
British
Columbia
Power
Co.,
particularly
since
he
is
a
real
Prince
Rupert
boy
and
another
who
has
made
good
in
his'life's
work.
"Tommy''
was
one
of
the
very
first
High
School
boys
in
Prince
Rupert
and
even
then
was
distinguished
by
his
hard-working
and
conscientious
proficiency.
He
went
on
to
University
of
British
Columbia
to
succeed
is
a
steady-going
way
there.
There
is
no
doubt
that
he
is
well
qualified
for
the
responsibilities,
of
the
new
post
which
has
been
awarded
him
and
we
heartily
join
with
the
congratulations
which
are
being
tendered
him.
His
company
has
made
a
good
choice.
