Mr. ELLIOTT:

This amount is required to provide for the construction of a tow path

Supply-Harbours and Rivers-B.C.

along the bank of Finlay river through Deserters Canyon. The proposed work is requested by the district engineer. The construction of this tow path will allow the freighters to line their boats up and down stream instead of unloading and packing over a long and difficult trail over the walls of the canyon.

Mr. FRASER:

That is on the upper Peace river. Might I ask what work has been proceeded with during the current year at the Peace river rapids, just below the junction of the Finlay and Peace rivers?

Mr. BLATCHFORD:

My hon. friend, I believe, is speaking of that part of the river just below the Finlay forks. I would advise the Minister of Public Works to take into consideration the necessity of improvements at that point, for it is a very hazardous place, passing up or down. Some improvements should be made there.

Mr. ELLIOTT:

That would be the vote if there was any work done. There was no special estimate. If any work were done there, it would be done out of the general dredging vote.

Mr. ELLIOTT:

This amount is requested by the district engineer to provide for general repairs required to the wharf, which was damaged by the action of the frost and ice. There is a small settlement at this site, but it is a railhead for a considerable area in which logging and farming is carried on extensively.
