We have adopted that‘ pol- icy, and we have done considerable gravelling during the past few yenls. It is our policy now with regard to these loads to initiate and ‘pursue a systematic gravelling programme, to take care of the roads, first oi‘ all, where traffic con- centrates, “there there are heavy motor vehicle nlovelnents and Whcffi 111616 nic heavy movemc-u-ils of produce.

The 0- lly solution is surfacing with hard gravel. With regard t0 graveiil-ng for iue iuiulc, we will initiate and pursue 1t sy- stematic gravelliiilg programme to the extent.‘ every year chat our re- venue will allow. Gravelling, as you know, is fairly expensive. The cost ‘per mile is iliscouragingly high, and the im- pression throughout time Province has been pretty general in the past‘ that no ‘local gravel was available; that we must import gravel. Most of rhegravei which has been used up to date has been imported. Last. year. however, tho oilgineeil-i- ill the Department oi‘ Public Works columenced a survey oi’ t.hc gravel possibilities of the Province, and ‘l ihavs in my office now——and if any of the members care to see them I will be very glad to show them-some very fine specimens 0i’ island gravel which I believe will be suitable for our purpolses. (A-p- plause.) These ‘beds are located, some of them ill tlhe vrests part of the ‘Province, and some along the southern line. The difficulty of course i:n developing ‘the beds ailong the southern line is tlhe nar- row gauge railway; but. we hope that that difficulty will ‘be remed- ied in the near future. -We would like to use local grav- el for two P81110113.

IIIOPQIIinQIy ‘Heavy Traffic in judging‘ of tho qllality oi‘ the. ‘service which we have give-n ilur-l ing the past season, regard must‘ be had to the itrsfric which we were called upon to take care of.

The officcl‘ was Lieutenant WuL.

"They were at the rear, in the (iourcaucourl. area, across five ulilcs of country, which bad been li-cnched, shelled. mined, and wat- eillilggeil ulliil it was a quagmire.
