this, along with the completion

ter which will mean more traffic
via the McCarthy route.
In view of the policy of the
government to cut down on pub

every direction, this appropriat
ion looks very promising. It sho

Also at this session some
$26,000 has been set aside for the
building and maintainingof relief
cabins, and it is now up to us to
see that we get our fair share of

Summing it all up —we have
an excellent bridge over the Niz
ina, the road this side is being
repaired with good prospects of
a continuance on the other side,
the ShushanBa trail will be irnpr
oved, and there is money forth
coming for relief cabins. Not bad
for a start! And we must not be
unappreciative.
