Will Seek Ratification Highway Appropriation

__.______.A__. W- l Reconstruction Minister Winters saidin an interview that the leg- islation will provide for a Fed- eral financial contribution toward the multl-million dollar project. No financial agreement has yet been reached with the provinces, but Mr. Winters estimated that the Federal contribution will run__ between $150,000,000 and $300,000,- 000. Total cost of laying down a 5,000-mile hard-surfaced highway is expected to run about $400,000,-

.

Work will be under the juris- diction of the provinces and is ex- pected to start next spring. It is estimated that it will take about five years to complete the route in most provinces.

Mr. Winters said he_conslders the project as part of a public in- vestment program. It will provide employment in the provinces and will also open up the country to further development.

The route for the highway has not yet been selected. The pro- vinces have not yet reached an agreement on that point.

Reconstruction Department offi- cials are in close touch with the provinces, and views are being exchanged so that draft agree- manta may be submitted to, the various governments and to Par- iiament.

The officials say that‘ the road will not be a "super highws " but 1t will be hard-surfaced. ll- weaiber At present there il no good road by which a person can travel from Halifax to Van- couvet.
