Provincial lllighways & Public Works Review

The following review of activities in the Provincial Department of Public Works and Highways for the year 1948 has been supplied by Mr. R. G. White, Deputy Minister:

The Department's first job in 1948 was winter road maintenance. With twenty-four full time plough: and with part time assistance from sev- eral bulldozers used as plougha“, we were able to keep open about 400 miles of highway with part time service to many other nllles of high- wey as storms permitted.

The number of sand boxes on steep hills was greatly increased and sanding of hills with salt-treat- ed sand during icy weather was kept up as required. We have not yet winter traffic enough to wer- rant landing all roads when icy but this may come in the near future.

The road building programme was again extensive and although the season was not quite so prolonged as: tile previous year about 132 miles of road were modernized as follows. with mileage figures in each case:

Prince County: Barclay Rd, O'- Leary, 1%; Trainer Rd., Rosevllle 11A; Dunbar Rd., St. Louis, 2; Cas- cumpec Rd., Roxbury. 2%; 0'Leary Road, Springfield, 2 1-2; Line Road.

Bridges

No major bridges were built dur- ing 1948 but many small bridges were repaired and several replac- ed.

Of these replacements the moat interesting type, known as the Mulii Plate Arch, has been in u" only two years in the Maritime Provinces. It is essentially a cor. rugated steel arch on a prepared base and is built up in plggg o; preformed steel plates bolted to-

Miscellaneous

During the year most of the wov- en wire guard fences along the highway was removed and replac- ed with heavy posts which have been found to catch less snow. On several sharp curves a 4" x 6" tini- ber bumper strip was added to the posts for greater safety.

Highway Signs and Marking

The past year has seen our high- way sign department develop con- siderably. This department now mass produces by modern methods all the common highway signs. They have discontinued the use of metal blanks because these are so frequently bent by vandals. end have substituted plywood which is stronger and will not rust. Experi- ments with Scotchlite, a fabric that shows up brightly when struck by lights at night, have shown it to be valuable for warning signs and it will be used here next season.

"HIE BISHOFS WIF "

Dealing with tihe changes an w. gaging guest makes in a disturbed home, Samuel Goldwynb new RKO Radio release, '-"I‘he Bishop's Wife," co-stars Cary Grant. Loretta Young and David Niven in one of the year's most. unique and gayest offerings now showing at the Prince Edward Theatre Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

Miss Young has the title-role of

the Wife. Niven plays the Bishop, a man so harassed by the financial troubles of his office that he has no time for his old friends nor for family. Realizing he is Ln e. spot, he prays for divine aid. The prayer is promptly answered by the ap- pearance of Grant, as Dudley. a modest but. miracle-working guest in snappy attire, who proceeds to reorganize the houeshold. In a matter of days Dudley cures the ecciesistic's money worries! has restored the Wife's love for him, and has reunited him with his old parishioners-all this over the pro- tests of the Bishop, who resents the interference of his casual visitor in his private affairs. How the guest neatly effects his remarkable re- forms is developed in amusing and suspenseful sequences, leading to l. delicious climax in which the gen- ial visitor makes his exit in triumph. Monty Woolley. as an elderly friend of the family, is featured, u are Gladys Cooper, Else. Lanchestel: and The Mitchell Boychoir. Henry Koster directed the fi'm version of Robert. Nathan's novel, and Robert E. Sherwood and Leonard Bercovici write the screenplay.
