One of the victims was Mrs. Alma Winsor of St. John's, Nfid.

Closing Gaps

U1'I'AW.A. (CP)-The federal government Monday came up with a new financial formula to speed the cloa- lng of gaps in the 4,600-mile Trans-Canada highway aid make a hard-surfaced, coast-to-coast road a. reality by 1960.

Works Minister Winters announced at the opening of a federal-provincial highway conference that his gov- ernment is ready. under certain conditions, to pay 90 per cent of the cost of construction of vital links in a paved highway from St. John's. Nfld., to Victoria.

The 00 - per - cent contribution

would be applied to federa1ly-ap- proved gaps in the Trans-Canada route up to a maximum of 10 per cent of the total mileage within a province. It could apply to routing where no assable road now exists or to transcontin- ental road which is so poor it could not be incorporated in the Trans- Canada system.

Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia delegates were more or less in agreement. New Brunswick termed the offer a basis for con- sultation but still felt the highway should be paid 100 per cent by the federal government. Newfoundland was prepared to accept the fed- eral offer.
