He has proposed that instead of spending millions on laying track along the difficult stretch between Squamish and North Vancouver, the provincial government build a terminal at Hquamish similar to the CPU's at Nanaii.no. It is unlikely that such a project would cost more than $2,01)0,1)00 and could probably be done for a great deal less. The building at Nanaimo is designed to handle ship and car traffic as well is rail. Any such terminal at .Sqtianii.sii would be limited to rail movements in the same maimer as the CNR ferry slip in I'rince 'Rupert. However, it would have to be a more elaborate structure than the' local ferry slip since provisions would have to be made for the 'comfort of passengers. A dining room and rest rooms at least would have to be provided in case of delays in making connections' between land and water. Eventually the terminal might also have to handle automobile traffic since a highway between Squamish and West Vancouver appears to he a certainty. While a terminal of this sort might not be as satisfactory as a continuous well-graded railway line, it would nevertheless be entirely suitable for the purpose and would eliminate the expenditure of millions on a "project of doubtful worth. Although an extension into the Peace River country will undoubtedly enhance the I'GL's value, there is nothing to suggest that the line will start to pay off to an extent commensurate with its investment for many years to come. The principal freight out of the l'eace country at first will be largely eoal and oil, which is low revenue traffic, drain, of course, will become an important commodity for the line but will move in much smaller volume than anticipated if the Northern Alberta Railways extend into the area, a possibility which has been mentioned by Donald Gordon. No one can condemn the government for wishing to expand the transportation facilities of D.C. On the contrary, it is the necessary view to take. Rut there are signs that the government is determined to act first and think afterwards. So far there is no evidence that ,it has considered the alternative route into the Peace country from Hazel-ton. Since it would provide immediate access to the Pacific at Prince Rupert and go through country which no other line could hope to touch, such a route would greatly reduce the threat of competition by the Northern Alberta Railways. i It is worth bearing in mind that a gamble and a progressive step are not necessarily the same thing.
