Work was commenced at this bridge in mid-whiter and was completed in early summer. The efficiency and despatch with which this bridge was built is a credit to the builders and the province in general. The Long Creek Brlqe, Mill River, Lot 5. was practically all re- built. The new bridge has a steel and concrete arch 60 feet in length and ,, “es totalling 00B feet. The rebuilding of these approaches required the laying of about 400 cords of pole crib-wor . The new span was placed in the crntre of the bridge in line with the channel of the river.

At Big Pond in eastern King's County a 00 ft. steel span bridge was erected to ,‘ ce a former trestle-work bridge.

' About 20 of the steel bridges in the province were painted. ‘rhe spans of these ranged in length from 20 to 300 feet- Repairs were also made lo 340 of the smaller bridges in the pro- vfnce. HIGHWAY SAFETY In order to eliminate as far as possible the element cf danger in driving over our highways the De- carries on such work as widening and banking dangerous curves. railing dang w, dumps and bridges. cutting bushes and rnnovlng other obstructions to the view at road intersections and Rall- way Crossings and the erefolng of Danger Signs -to warn motorists when curves, etc. Among the curves widened out or banked last season are: Simmons‘ Wilmot Valley, Bell's Corner Try- on, Seven Mlle Say (muroh Com- er, Port Kill Corner, Dunbar Road Corners, Indian Pt.

St. Eleanor’: Railway Crossing, Kelly Road, llknersld, etc. ' There was a total length of 11.300 lineal feet of dangerous dumps and bridges railed in different sections 9g the province. This work en- tailed the supplying of a lei-EB amount of material and the pro- vlding of considerable work in the different localities. There was also i200 lineal feet of Highway Guard Steel Rail placed oln the dump at Mt. Stewart. WHARVES AND FIJRRES Ferry Wharf at Georgetown was considerably re- paired. The repairs consisted of filling the wings with stone for a length of B0 feet on one side and 160 feet on the south side. The retaining walls were piled and flood with hardwood. A section '10 ft. x 30 ft. was newly plunked. Work was completed on the Bridgetown Wharf. The work dour this past season consisted of plac- ing a new deck and span beams, driving fender piles and grading. Minor repairs were made to the wharvcs at Grand River West, and a new running cable purchased for the ferry. ‘The Ferry Boats "Newport" and "Montague I1" were overhauled and painted in the spring and were later sent to the slip at Plctou for the annual overhauling below the The Newport water-line- The S.

A large amount of work was done in preparing the road bed for the pavements. This work consisted of machining. widening the fills and extending the culverts and afford- ed a large amount of rlnployment. A numbrr of rights-of-way were purchased and several reserved roadsvwerc opened up. These rights of-way are to be used either as winter roads. for straightening curves or opening up new roads. A reserved road at Cape Egmont and one at Alaska were opened up, be- ing cleared, stumped and machined.

All the road machinery and tractors were thoroughly mvr- hauled by ulorhanics- during the winter in the Government (lnrugc on Fitzroy Street. This equipment was ready for work in the early spring putting the roads in shape. Statute Labor As provided for in the Road Act any person so desiring was given a chance to perform labor on any of the works undertaken by the De- partment in lieu of their Road 'I‘e.\'. In this manner a large amount of the current year's Road Tax as well as Road Tax Arrears were collected. The activities of the Department spread considerable money over all tions of the province which was used by many to help in payill! their Land and other Taxes and by others to help procure the neces- sltles of life. _ The demands made upon the Department are increasing yearly. -demsnds for improved roads. de- mands for pavements and most of all demands for employment, With the limited funds at its disposal the Department cannot meet all these demands and it is to be hlghlv commended for the satisfactory re- sults obtained from the works undertaken during the past season.
