Trade Board Convention Hears: Corridor Highway Proposals

SYDNEY (CP) Three separ até proposals for a corridor high-

way linking the Atlantic Prov- inves and Central (Canada, in- cluding a: ‘Swap’ of financial burdens. bétween the — United States. and Canada, were pre- sented Monday to the annual

meeting ‘of the Maritime. Prov- inces Board of Trade.

W. Bartlett Cram of Hampden Me. told the opening. session: of the two-day conference the U.S. government would be willing to Pay the estimated $5,000,000,- 000 cost of an east-west. express highway through northern New England if the Canadian govern- ment paved a 1,000-mile section in Canada of the Alean Highway ‘between Momana ‘and Alaska

Mr. Cram, U.S. member of yn international committee: studyi#ig the-propbsed=corridor-route;-sard the deal would be of egonomic advantage to Canada. The cost of improving the Canadian por-

tion of the Alcan Highway woulda.

be “only a drop in the bucket’’ in comparison with U.S. -spend- ing on a corridor route which

would henefit both central Can- ada and the Aflantie Provinces.

“We need a road: linking the northeast states and the- easi north-central states and vou people need a linking” central Canada with the Atlantic Prov- inces,"’ Mr’.Cram_ told MURBT delegates

-He said the United ‘States is offering to undertake construct- ion of this “‘multi-purpose’ road if the Ailantic Provinces ‘‘will pressure Ottawar to *tix up. the Alcan.”

C.. Everett Daniels of Annap- olis Roval N.S... chairman. of the transportation committee of the Annapolis Valley: Affiliated Boards of Trade. pronosed a dit ect route between Halifax and Sherbrooke, Que. across the Bay of. Fundy.

“The cost of transportation is hurting the Atlantic region,” he said. ‘‘the henefits of a direct route are. many.’’ both to ,the
