Last your experiment with 20 miles sprayed with a brush killer proved so successful that the De- partment this year bought ii. spray gear and treated 210 miles of pav- ed highway using 230 gallons of concentrate. In such work a small percentage of trees survive and will have to be treated individual- ly next season. It is . ..ected that this work will be extended to un- pavcd roads next year. Large trees on road sides. in addition to influencing snow drifts, often shade the highways and by so doing, cause dangerous ice patches on an otherwise dry road. An effort to correct this dangerous condition has been made this fall. Many of the trees cut. in this work have been piled in adjacent fields as snow fences. . I Centre line marking was applied to 36 miles of paved highway. With our milder winter temper- atures and the great increase in motor vehicle registration and whiter traffic, we have to contend

A snow ploiv garage is nearing completion at Vernon River. This building is 24 feet by 40 feet in size with frame construction cov- ered with corrugated asbestos cement board, a fire resistant ma- terial. This building is the same type as several others built by the Department. in previous years.

General building niaintenance, painting, pointing of brickwork, etc. has been carried on during the year.

sand, calcium chloride and salt to help the situation on curves and hills, but indications are that we may soon have to get rid of the ice on the level sections also, on our busiest highways at least.

Accounting

This year, a change has beer. made in our accounting procedure. We now re-nt our equipment from our Mechanical Branch to the various Districts. The rentals are set just about high enough to cover operating costs, repairs and depreciation on machines. While this is only an inter-departmental book arrange-mcnt, it shows accur- ately where machines worked and allows an accurate calculation of

The ferries M. V. Montague and M. V. Newport received annual overhaul at Pictou during June and have since operated contihu-, ously.

No new wliiirf construction was done by the Deipartmeiit during 1952. Minor repairs were made to Prince St., Rocky Point, Newport and Georgetown Ferry Wharves.

the number of machines workliig on road work throughout the Province, finally forced us to in- crease the number of service men from three to six. At the same time, it was decided that with six service men we could have them deliver iuel, grease and oil to the inachiizcs often enough that we could eliminate barrels which have been costing us as much as 31,000 in a year on losses. The new sys- tem, which has already resulted in greatly improved service to the machines, is cxpectcd to show A substantial saving over the former system of delivery.

Buildings Near Highways

One of our problems here in Pub- lic Works is the presence of build- ings built too close to the road. These buildings, most of them winter garages, often cause snow drifts, and are always in the way when roads must be widened. The Public Works and Highways Act requires all new construction to be at least twenty-five feet from

traffic was horse drawn and our highways snowed under all winter, it was ii. great convenience to be able to "take to the ice." There were a few accidents, but as sleighs are -open,gthere was not much danger of loss of life. Today, however, the situation is entirely different. Most winter traffic is now motorized and our highways are mostly open. More- over, our winter seasons have been less severe and the ice is often not safe for horse-drawn traffic, much less for cars and trucks. It has become so difficult to say where ice is fit for traffic, that the De- partment feels that it cannot take any responsibility in this matter.

Drainage At Spring Park

A start was made towards pro- viding much needed drainage in the Spring Park area when 1'ill feet of 24 inch diameter concrete drainage pipe was laid and two catch basins built. This pipe has been laid low enough to provide ii low central point. to which all the area can be drained in'the future.

Sidewalk In Parkdnlo

Because of extremely heavy vehicular traffic on the St. Peter's highway through Parkdale a side- walk has become, a necessary safety measure. However as the area is not provided with a storm sewer system and as the ditches have been to facilitate parking, water from the pavement drains to the road sides. To permit storm water to continue to run off without go-, ing to the major expense of build- ing a storm sewer system, a light asphalt sidewalk was laid on a grade low enough to permit the storm water to run over it places. when a drainage system is built, this sidewalk can be re- placed with fl. concrete one on a higher grade.

The progress made during 1952 both in work accomplished and also in improving our methods of road building, has brought into view the solution of our most pressing prob- lems of highway and rural elec- trlficatloii development. Up to this year, it has seemed ii. very distant day indeed when we tried to forc- see the time when all our roads will be wide enough to carry truck traffic the year 'round and provide space for the power and foiaphono lines so , urgently needed.

In addition to our construction programme, 74.3 miles of road

were heavily dltchcrl and some

180,000,cubic yards of fills placed. lGood weather helped our main- itcnancc efforts also and most roads lwcre kept in first class travelling condition. Dust. continued to plague our unpaved roads and 350 tons of calcium chloride and 290 tons of salt were used to bring some relief in the more populated places.

Pavement Maintenance: After extensive patching. a seal mating program was carried out in an ef- fort to save the surface of our older pavement as follows: Seal Rlvcr to I-lillsborough 12.5 miles; Milton to Hazel Grove 11.8 miles; Coleman to Elmsdale 9.1 miles.

To improve our light pavements which are easily damaged in spring, we experimented rather extensive- ly with road mixed asphalt. In this work, gravel is spread evenly over the road, sprayed with asphalt and mixed on the road with a Beamun Mixer. The result is a 3-inch thick pavement which is hoped will be stronger than other types of light pavement. It is intended that all this type of road be seal coated next season. A list of these jobs follows: Murray River to Murray Harbour 5.0; Day's Corner through Wellington 3.0; Tignish toward: Elmsdale 3.5; O'Leary to Spring- flcld 6.5. Total: 18.0.
