The new bridge across the Val- leyfield stream. near the site of the former Suthei-land's Mill, near Montegauc, is now ready for the concrete paving which will be run iii a few days. During the past few weeks the approaches to the bridge have been cleared of part of the old crib work, and rock has been placed at the bottom to prevent erosion. Eleven steel girders have been laid across the top, supported, by piles driven to rock bed. and over these girders the concrete ulll be laid.

The new bridge replaces the oldi one which was too light to carryi the heavy traffic. and which was giving signs of benriiic loo hcavyl loads. It was approximately 46: fret long. with ii centre pile sup-; nort whiclt liiiil been moved out of position by the heavy loads. With the crib wort; on either side giving away. the old liridize lacked the necessary S'.l;)j)0l'i. The wearing nwa;.- was mused by the two water ways oti c:ther side of the central support. since not hat-in; suffic- icnt width for the volume of water- flowing, th: curpeiit eroded the bed around the sitpnort pzics to make the bridge urisitfc.

The inability of car drivers to get: away quickly enough on the green light resulted in some iiiintir traffic jams on Saturday night at the intersections in tne City where the new traffic lights have been installed.

in some cases the traffic piled tip and stretched back to block other intersections. With the lights in operation for only a few hours. the Saturday night traffic constituted a stiff test. gotipled with the fact that the majority of local drivers are unaccustomed to traffic lights.

He urged supplementary increas- es for rural mail couriers in the Province on a basis similar to those in effect between i946 and 1949. Also seeking more adequate reward for work in Prince Edward Island. he asked the government to establish standard minimum rates of pay for labor on govern- ment contracts. to apply to all Provinces, While exonerating the Postoftlce Department from blame i'-:. the matter, Mr. Kickham com- plaincd that rural mail couriers today are not being fairly paid.

"Where the hardship exists for the rural mail contractor." 3': said, ”is that when he tendered two or three years ago to carry the contract terms to their expiry. he could not foresee the added costs which have intervened."
