This state of affairs is due ta end in the near future, according to the Hon. George H. Doucett, Ontario Minister of Highways. The solution? Double-laned High- way No. 2A i. to be extended thnough the south part of Bow- manville first to Newcastle and then to Port Hope. To quote the Minister: "Fnom Oshawa, the dual-lane highway will be im- mediately extended eastenly to Newcastle, thence to Port Hope." The word in the preceding quotation which gives the chue to the time of construction is "im- mediatehy." This can be taken to mean this year, and possibly this spring. "We shaîl acquire the necessary rigbt of way looking to the ultimate easterly extension of the dual-lane highway to the Que- bec bonder, said Mn. Doucett. "An early phase of this project will be the construction of a dual-lane link commencing in the Belle- ville-Trenton area, thence run- ning eastenly and passing some- what to the north of Kingston, Bnockvihle and Cornwall." "A connecting link will be constructed fromn the Newcastle district to join Highway No. 7 in the vicinîty of Peterborough," Mn. Doucett continued. "I should interject that, genenahly, our pol- icy wihh be to swing our new con- struction anound the centres of population. This wihh relieve the very tnying congestion that ha. become an acute problemn with oun municipal authonities. Like- wise Ai i in accord with the most modemn and approved en- gineering practices." "Please bear in mind that when I mention vaniaus cities and towns I do so to enable you to identify various general ateas in the pro- vince nather than specific points. Please bear in mind that I can- not be too specifie until sunveys and engineering studies are more advanced." -HAYDON Most of the snow removing equipment was laid up for ne- pairs so a lot of the people were snowed in over the weekend.
