Justice of New Brunswick, speaking at the U.N.B. Club. to- night. i Sir Douglas said the plan had grown out of reports submitted by experts from the United States who, after spending a few hours in the (Maritime Provinces, had hazard. quirements of the three provinces, The reports, he said, were erro- neous in many respects. The proposed scheme, Sir Doug: las said. was a retrograde one as Iv would destroy the wealth of train tion that had grown up with the University of New Brunswick. founded aa it had been by the Loy: alists, Sir Douglas expressed. the hope that the friends of the Univer. sity would rally to its support posed scheme. ' Roman Ruins In Amiens Laid Bare ‘PAIRRS, May 27 — Between the post war. commercialism that is gripping France and the great housing shortage, the country. has narrowly escaped losing one of the finest Gallo Roman ruins yet discovered. , ‘In the course of — replacing of houses which were destroyed: by the German bombardment in the Rue de Beauvis in. Amiens, work men discovered bas reliefs on an cient tombs, sections of columns and pieces of sculpture, all in a good state of presetvation. Local archaeologists who examined the find prononced the place the site of an ancient Gallo-Roman edifice of great dimensions. The owners of the property then interrupted the researchers and ordered the buiding wolrk continu- ed. This was done despite the ef- ltorts of the archaeologist, and the ruins were quickly buried beneath a bed of concrete, The archaeologsits then present- ted a plea to the (Mayor of Amiens who transmitted ‘it jthrough the prefect of the Somme to the Min- ister of Fine Arts. The work of building was ordered stopped, and it appears now that the State wiil take charge and see that the ruins are excavated. ‘Opl. Cahill, A. P., 1st ‘Class Signaller. \ Cpl.
