It is stated unofficially that the Federal Government is prepared to consider giving a subsidy of $15,000, perhaps even $20,000, a mile on the northern extension. But the 'government still needs to be persuaded that the proposed extension at the southern end is economically feasible. It is believed that Ottawa's first answer will be to suggest that an independent commission make a study and recommend what help, if any, ihould be given. Should such a course be taken, it would delay Premier Bennett's plans on the southern extension. He has announced the Provincial Government expects to start work on both extensions this year; actual brush-cutting has been under way on the southern route around Howe Sound.

If you want to reach downtown area from the south side of the span, you can drive right over the bridge staying on Granville all the way, or, once over the centre of the span, you can pull into the right lane and drive down Seymour.

The $15,000 or $20,000 sub sidy on the northern end is not expected to satisfy Premier Bennett. Premier Johnson, when he was head of the Coalition government, got $15,000 a mile subsidy when he extended the PGE from Quesnel to Prince George, but Premier Bennett is said to believe that he can get much more. He has said publicly he expects Ottawa to pay half of the $60,000,000 bill for both ends.

His critics in the Legislature have claimed that he has not proven his case that the cost of the southern extension is economically sound, or needed. pecting them to put the sheet over my face any day, I expect," she said.
