Spring Floods Ease In Saskatchewan As Experts Compile Damage

REGINA. April 18 -(CP) -The flood situation eased today in Saskatchewan as unofficial estim- ates placed damage in the prov- ince this spring at s1.o00,000 or more.

In the southwestern part of the province, runoff waters from the Cypress Hills continued to dimin- ish.

Breakdown 0! Damage

Here is the unofficial brcakdoum of the 51,000,000 flood damage

estimate:

1. Highnvays and hrlcigcs-at least S500,000, posslibly much more;

2. Dams and irrigation works- 5250.000 10 s5(Kl.000; and 3. Homes and businesses-&!00r

This spring has been describwl as one of the worst in Saskatche- wan's history for highway flood- ing and bridge damage. 1-Ilglh wal- er and pounding of giant ice floes has resulted in a number of bridges being washed out. includ- ing the Saskatchewan Landing bridge which is expected to con- sume 5225.000 for repairs.

At least one other steel-span bridge has gone out and a num- lber of pile structures have been destroyed. As well. a number of

road grades have been washed out.-

No dams have gone out but erosion and moving of dirt has taken place in some instances. Any out-of-the-ordinary flooding of farm lands is confined to a com- paratively small area.

The most difficult category to assess is damage to homes and businesses. A number of towns in the southwest have been flooded but the water level has not been extremely high in most instances

050,000 Monthly Payroll At Aircraft Maintenance Plant

Maritime Central Airways main- tenance plant. at the Char- lottetown airport. has now a molrthly payroll of 350,000 or an annual wage outlay of 3600.000. Almost 200 men are employed and working quarters are becoming cramped as the staff increases.

Mayor J. D. Stewart made these facts known yesterday, when ask- ed about the City Council's attit- ude towards improving the air- port's facilities.

Any expansion which takes place hinges on whether the City of Charlottetown is prepared to pur- chase considerable land, adjoining the port. If the acreage for leng- thened runways and erecting hall- gars is placed at the disposal of the Department of Transport. the Department is prepared to defray the cost of the improvements.

"If the needed land is purchas- said Mayor Stewart, "the Transport Department will spend upwards of a million dollars on longer runways and new buildings. With enlarged facilities capable of looking after more planes the working staff at Maritime Central Airways could be increased. The payroll would of course be much larger than it is at present."

"Personally," continued the May- or, "I am unreservedly for acquir- ing whatever land is needed for expansion. but I cannot speak for the whole Council. Any decision

While progress towards letting the contract for the proposed shallow draggers has not been in keeping with the desire of those concerned, Mr. E. M. German. P. E. Island Director of Fisheries says that everything possible is being done to have the prelimin- ary work proceeded with.

As an instance of the difficul- ties to be overcome, the question of bronze castings necessitated correspondence with English and Swedish firms, but owing to the situation with regard to this es- sential metal, it has become ne- cessary to explore the field with a view to substituting stainless steel, ill the hope that the same may prove adequate.

If Stainless steel can be accept- ed as a substitute, every effort will be exerted to procure the required fittings. The winch design. for ships of this nature, will also re- quire considerable study, and special designing, not necessary in larger ships engaged in similar, but off-shore work.
