Nl'id.'1CP) - A three-man royal communion re- viewing NewInundland's economic progress since Confederation dis- continued bttainena sessions Fri- day to spend the weekend driving over local roads described by pro vinclal oounsel H. Cari Golden- herg as no better than ”dirt trails" in places. Mr. Goideaberg said earlier in the week only in miles of the LSD miles of road were paved but the pavement comps ed with "a paved country trail" in On- tario. Friday he said the province needed 8.800.000 a year to keep highway standard. at their pre- gesu "lnw ievel." That would be 9.9 miles of road for each l,0tli of population. "The effective life of a road is not much more than so years. at the end of which time it in either worn out or obsolete. in either event it is in need of complete rebuilding," he said. "A province should figure on re- building five or at least four per cent of its road each year. With about l.Wi miles of road. New- foundland should expect to build annually about too miles." HA8 WORST TEIIRAIN - Compared with other Atlantic provinces "Newfoundland has the worst possible terrain for road building. "Tbe lead in rocky and covered with streams and bogs; and there are relatively few places on the island when gravel is to be found in any quantity. ''It would therefore be impos- nlble for Newfoundland to build sl lfavel road for the average cost 01 NEW!-M5.tlli per mile which prevails in Nova Scotia." Newfoundland": portion of the Trans-Canada highway is expected to cost more than 8Ii.w0.illi or about 8141.000 per mile. "It win be conservative to estimate that to maintain present levels new roads can be built for 840.000 per mile and that cost for rebuilding a road would be SNJIW." Mr Goidenberg said. Newfoundland would have to re- build about ill miles of road an- nually to maintain its present ”ve:y low" standards. At onlv WLWI per mile. the program would cost about S4.ili0.tll) an- nually. Obsoiescense and deprecia- tion would increase the cost to about 88.603300. NEED ssa.m.uo ANNUALLY in all. Mr. Goldcnberg said. it will cost the government 853.M0.- ooo annually to keep nubile ser- vices at their present level. with out posing taxes "more burden- some than those in the other At-' lantlc provinces."

Writer Canadian stock markets lacked -sparkle again this week as they rurnbled through five slow. list- less seasiun. The cloud of caution which has hovered over the markets for many weeks thickened and trad- ing slowed down to its loweu vol- umes of the year. The number of stocks traded was the smallest since last nu. Most market observers see an letup in the pattern in the near future. One analyst. W. I. Tqsrell of Cariile and McCarthy. Calgary. said the "fear oftinflation seems to outweigh other factors in the current action of the market which has given a good account of itself despite some rather pessimistic forecana." - Mr. Taprell said inflation in he an overused word but the pur- chasing power of the dollar has dipped under 50 per cent of its 10.19 level. Kippcn and Co. of Montreal said that the general undertone of the markets is one of indecision. "There is no doubt that we will see more inflation as time goes on. but perhaps not as re uiarly and as constant as seine believe, ' the company reports.
