In reply to a. question Mr. Sutherland made a striking state. ment. “l'l‘rhe road oonlld he completed this summer." he said. In View of the reem‘d in construction made 'by the Great Northern Po'wer Co. with rwhich Mr. Sutherland is actively 0011-; nected, this statement must he given respectful consideration and final he- lief. for the development of the Xorth ‘Land. It would connect up the l’or- cuisine and Matat-eheyyan ramps and give proper access to a wonderful new territory. "l‘he proposed roadway would pass through Shaw, (.‘leaver and MeNeil and other unusually promising townships, including Lang- muir, Bannooldburn. Powell and Cairo.

In additia to the open- ing of new mining: territory the pro- posed road would give short and di- reet eonneetion for the important min- inf); d-istrir-t ot' Porcupine with the South.

The former is a hundred feet wide and the latter sixty-fire, and the two par- allel each other the greater part of the way. Accordingly it would be a simple matter to construct a road alongside the power lines. "I‘he right- of-way is cleared the full distance. This would materially red’uce'the cost of constructing the roadway, as will be readily seen from the fact t'lmtl the Great Northern Power ('0 spent $125,000.00 on the cutting of the right-of-away alone.
