W. BURNS SCOTT, Solicitor for Administrator Yates Street, Victoria, B.C, New Bridges Across Fraser, Express Route To U.S. Urged Regional Planners Present First Overall Survey NEW Roberts resort area as an bridges across the Fraser American border at the annual meeting of the ning Board here today. Recommendations were pared for the future development between Hope and the Gulf of They will be considered by' civic leaders in all member municipalities and, if approved, will be forwarded to Provincial and Federal government authorities for action. The plan constitutes first thorough study of the area and is the result of two years' research and study by the board's executive staff.

It considers future population trends, the course of industrial and agricultural expansion, as well as the problems which will stem from increased traffic and recreational problems. Little controversy is expected to arise over the suggestion Point Roberts be used freely by Canadians. James Wilson, executive director of the board and author of the development plan, said constitutional difficulties would probably prevent Canada from annexing the area but believed the Canadian Government could lease the point for 99 or 999 years. As an alternative, he suggests the Federal Goverament should be asked to try to arrange that -Establishment of the Point international park, two new and an express highway from Douglas, were recommended at Lower Mainland Regional Plan- part of an overall plan preof the lower mainland Georgia. the U.S.

portion of Point Roberts, together with part of the adjoining Canadian territory, be designated jointlv as an international park similar to the Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park. Only about 350 families reside permanently on the point. They are separated from the U.S. mainland by Boundary Bay and say they would welcome any changes which would not clude Canadian "Blue Laws." The area is popular not only as a summer resort for Canadians but has provided Sunday racing Vancouver sulky recently, fans. The plan also provides a route for the proposed express highway and a second bridge across the Fraser at New Westminster.

This shorter and more direct route to the U.B. border would branch off Marine drive, and cross over a proposed fill between Lulu and Annacis Islands. The freeway would either span the river by a high level bridge or go underneath through a tunnel. Traffic Doesn't Warrant Ladner Tunnel Mr. Wilson says there is little justification for a tunnel at Ladner as there is no indication the traffic will ever warrant it.

He says the same is true for the proposed Fraser River span at Chilliwack. freeway would then follow edge of Surrey plateau Then and join King George Highway near Nicomekl River. Apart from reducing present road distance between Vancouver and the border by about three miles, the highway would open up potential industrial areas in Burnaby, Richmond, Queensboro and Annacis Island where a major port development program for the Royal City is proposed. Should a third bridge across the river become necessary it is suggested it be located above Fraser Mills where traffic can be better distributed through the valley, for and deep still sea keep shipping. the river A second major highway link also proposed south side the valley to relieve traffic on the western part Situated of Canada Highway.

several miles north of the present road it would provide a direct route between Whalley and Abbotsford. The board visualized an extension of Greater Vancouver's industrial future to towns in the Valley. In submitting its plan to local governments for approval, the board pointed out it is looking forward to a population of more than 1,500,000 on the lower mainland in the next 50 years. "By that time our lumber and fishing industries, great as they will be, be overshadowed by giant manufacturing industries and by shipping and trade activities," Mr. Wilson says.

"Although we are now using only about two-thirds of the available land, we will need it all within 20 or 30 years and may even have ti import fresh foods." The planners believe all future development should be guided by four basic principles. The first three deal with conserving land for industrial sites, recreation and agriculture. The fourth would limit cities in size and disperse them for social economic and military reasons. Plan Put Into Effect Gradually The long -range plan would bel put into effect gradually as circumstances arise which some controlling. This is especially true of location of new industries, growth of towns private developments over which the board has no positive control.

However, the report advocates an immediate, clear-cut plan for the future development of such public facilities as highways, air fields, bridges and parks. It is recommended provision be made to develop Burnaby Lake as a large park for boating, swimming, picnicking, riding and as a center for sport meets, and Brunette Creek as far east as Coquitlam boundary should be set aside for the public. Burnaby Lake has already been suggested for rowing and sculling events in the 1954 British Empire games and the board believes any related developments should be nucleus of a long range program. A parksite on top Burnaby Mountain which would command a panoramic view cf Burrard Inlet has also been recommended along with preservation of the Coquitlam greenbelt and Mary Hill near the mouth of Coquitlam River. The board would set aside square miles on top of Mountain which absumas could be developed as the politan area continues to grow.

As Greater Vancouver area continues to grow to its anticipated population of more than 1,000,000, the board would encourage legislation controlling a sprawling development into the rural areas. The following specific recommendations have been made for the member municipalities in the plan: The future of West Vancouver will be limited to a residential area by its topography and lack of industrial sites. North Vancouver will benefit greatly from the potential of its industrial waterfront but will have to solve a major transportation problem across the inlet. Planners believe the greatest possible integration of administration between these municipalities would be most desirable. Urban growth in Richmond, Sea Island the Delta should be limited and all large tracts of land earmarked for agriculture.

Surrey Residential Development Much of Surrey is ideal urban purposes but most future residences should be directed to the western section which contains attractive industrial sites. Langley Prairie and Pitt Meadows should both be kept for dairying but Maple Ridge is classified as one of the most desirable residential areas. The report recommends Abbotsford, Matsqui and Sumas should be administered as one community and surveys show both Abbotsford and Mission will continue Abbotsford and Mission will continue to develop as industrial centres. Chilliwack will probably grow less than any other community in the valley, as its agricultural hinterland is now almost completely developed. Hope will grow with its lumbering and tourist industries, but Kent will remain predominantly a dairying community, The board warns all new bridges and highways on the north shore re should be built with consideration to the development of Gibsons Landing, Squamish and Pemberton.

This would mean a large new bridge at the First Narrows which could accommodate maximum growth in the area. It the report is approved by al majority of the members, the C. board will undertake specific studies on airports, parks and rural zoning in collaboration with other assist local bodies, and planning will direct and programs. Municipalities will be asked to study need for a metropolitan and valley government, and Greater Vancouver municipalities will be TEN POINTS STRESSED BY REGIONAL PLANNERS NEW WESTMINSTER Here are the principal recommendations made to the lower mainland Regional Planning Board today: A high level span or tunnel across the Farser River at Lulu Island. An express highway between Vancouver and the U.S.

border along Marine drive and joining the King George Highway on the Surrey flats. A direct Trans-Canada link between Whalley and Abbotsford. An international park at Point Roberts. A metropolitan parksite at Burnaby Lake and along Brunette Creek to the Coquitlam border. A second bridge at the First Narrows to handle residential development on the North Shore.

A parksite on top Burnaby Mountain. A bridge at Fraser Mills when a third span over the Fraser is needed. A 25-acre parksite on Sumas Mountain. Preservation of Mary hill and the Coquitlam greenbelt.

It takes about $65 worth of equipment (a diamond saw, an abrasive wheel, a polishing wheel, a few pastes and glues, and a handful of sticks.)

All the services -building, plumbing and electrical vehicle inspections, bicycle licences, made mean an additional $305,200. MOTOR FEES BOOST To make up the remaining $65,000 sought, some fees will take a bigger jump--notably motor vehicle inspection fees, which are expected to move up from 75 cents every six months to $1.

This alone would bring in $50,000. A City Council political battle is expected if Comptroller Frank Jones recommends a $1 charge for bicycle licences. Finance officials have recommended a higher charge for the service before, but aldermen are loath to increase the levy. Another potential source of revenue city licences-is out for this year anyway because they are limited by the city charter. $5,000,000 GAP Comptroller Jones proposed the $370,000 increase in fees to help balance Vancouver's $36,000,000 budget for 1952.

Preliminary NEW ADVENTURE in which opens It marks the return to the ballerina of Sadler's Wells with Robert The city may ignore a ruling from the Labor Relations Board that it must go before a conciliation board in its wage dispute with 1200 outside civic workers. Corporation Counsel Russ Baker is prepared to go to court to prove the city's contention that the outside workers' union has forfeited its legal right to bargain for a 35-centan-hour increase by not notifying the city on time.

They sat spellbound for more than two hours while university geologist Dr. R. M. Thompson told them about rock hunting prospects in B.C. Then they made careful notes while several members outlined cutting and potishing techniques.

Dr. Thompson warned that "B.C. is not the best place in the world for gem hunting." But he cautiously revealed that beryl (a silicate of beryllium and aluminium and closely related to emeralds) has been found near Revelstoke and Quesnel and he himself found some tiny sapphires at the south end of Harrison Lake. He admitted that rubies or diamonds, have the never province been but the unlapidaries felt a bit better when he explained that rubies are only alumium oxide and factories can probably make better ones than nature. There are lots of semi-precious gems like jasper, sardonyx and agate in B.C., though.

"NO LEGAL RIGHT" But Ald. R. K. Gervin, a member of the city's conciliation declared the LRB "has no legal right" to order the city into conciliation proceedings. Aldermen- have previously affirmed they intend to "deal fairly" with the outside workers' union, and a 13 percent wage increase has been budgeted for in estimated 1952 expenditures.

But aldermen say they won't be "buffaloed" into a' wage settlement. CITY'S CASE The city's case is that the outside workers are bound by contract to give 60 days' notice in advance of opening their agreement with the city on wages. Notification of the union's intention to bargain was not received by city until a few days after 1951 agreement the had come to an end. By this, the city says, the 1951 wage clause remains in forcetechnically, at least--for another year. Union officers had taken the dispute to the LRB which earlier Pipes To Lead Seaforth Recruit Drive The skirl of the pipes and the swing of a kilt have proved irresistable to many a young man in the past and Monday night the Seaforth Highlanders here hope to prove the same still holds true.

Dorothy Walton, charged with him, was acquitted. Her counsel was Ralph Read, and Wilfred Heffernan appeared for the crown. Friday the LRB advised each to name a member to a conciliation board to bring a settlement to the dispute. Officials of the leftist-led outside workers claim they did not notify the city to reopen the contract because they had not reunder new indeceived bargaining, authority pendent status. The union was expelled from the TLC last year for pro-Communist leadership.
