"Although no official announcement of the nature of the survey work being dane on this road could be secured in Sudbury, it is intimated in certain quarters that the plan finds the govâ€" ernment committed to the proposal, with probably some workâ€"seheduled 40 be done prior to any Dominion election this year. "Start on this proposed highway would see the culmination of many years of agitation in Northern Ontarie for the more direct linking of the North and South via Sudbury and Parry Sound, to eliminate the long circuitous route at present necessary through North Bay from Toronto. Completion of such a highway, in a straight line from the French river to Timmins, would give the direect connection so long sought by residents of Sudbury, Timmins and other Northern Ontario centres that would be served more quickly and adequately. "While details of the plan are still in the nebulous state, the trend of preâ€" sent field partiese would indicate that such a highway would cross the French river at Bigwood, run almost due north to contact the Transâ€"Canada at Wahâ€" napitae and then follow the fiats along the river valley to Shiningtree and thence into Timmins. "South of the French river, it is beâ€" lieved the propased highway would conâ€" nect with the one now completed as far north as Point au Baril and Britt, continuing south to Parry Sound and thence to Toronto via Bala and Gravenâ€" hnhurst. Cross Near Wahnapitae "According to information available to The Sudbury Star, the highway would cross the French river east of the Canadian Pacific Railway line and go north, between the CPR. and the Murdoch river, to within a few miles of Burwash. Here, it is proposed, it would swing northeast to cross the TransCanada highway near Wahnapâ€" itae village. What is proposed now, however, is something different. Here is what The Sudbury Star says about it on Monday this week:â€" Ts Link Timmins with Toranto "Possibilities of a ""straightâ€"line, streadlined" super highway which would link Northern and Southern Onâ€" tario, passing a few miles east of Sudâ€" bury, with Timmins its terminus on the northerly end and Toronto on the south, loomed today as a Tuture comâ€" mitment of the provincial government, according to information gathered by The Sudbury tSar. Survey parties at present in the field are visioned by government engineers. "There is good level country from Whanapitae to Skead," one person There is talk again in Sudbury of a "straightline, streamlined" highway beâ€" tween Timmins and Toronto. The idea will not be received with much enthusâ€" lasm in this part of the North, because it means in effect the indefinite postâ€" ponement of connection with Sudbury and the other mining camps along the route advocated here for many years, because it may be taken for granted that the Ontario Government will not build two hi.hways at the one time between Timmin: and Toronto. A straightline highway between Timmins and Suctury would cnly serve through trafficâ€"already served by the Ferguâ€" son highway. Until the Ferguson highâ€" way is paved throughout the Governâ€" ment is not likely to provide another similar highway. What has been proâ€" posed is Timmins and district is the completion of the roads already existing so as to join up the Porcupine camp and the Sudbury camp. The, route would be from Timmins to Matachewan, to Elk Lake, to Gcwganda, to Shiningâ€" tree .to West Shiningtree, to Milnet, to Sudbury. For most of the route there are existing roadways. All that is nesded is some connecting upâ€"chiefâ€" ly between Shaw township and Matâ€" achewan, and Milnet and West Shinâ€" ingtree, and, then, perhaps, a little improvement on the roads already existing.

One of these is operating north from Bidwood and the French river, with Wahnapitae as its objective. The other party is one which has been in the field fo r a considerable time but reâ€" cently sent into a new area. Moved Location "This second party was engaged throughout the greater part of the winâ€" ter on a survey from Milnet nborth to Shiningtree, but it is reported that they ran into so many obstacles on this route that they have been movid in an effort to locate a line atound Lake Wahnapitae, east of Capreol. It is expected they will concentrate on this section as far as the Wahnapitas river valley during their current proâ€" gram. ) pointed out. "From there the road would probably skirt the west shore of Lake Wahnapitae, West Bay and the Indian Reserve to the northwest end of the lake. Here, it would swinzg back and follow the level Wahnapitae river valley north toward Shiningtree. It is doubtful if much difficulty would be encountered along this route, as it is fairly level country." "From Shiningtree, it is proposed that the highway would veer nonth, with Timmins the ultimate objective. "T‘wo years ago a survey party operâ€" ated from Sudbury to the French river but confined the major part of their activities to the west side of the CPR. The line they ran, however, is believed abandoned now in favor of the proâ€" posed one on the east, Enzineers‘ deâ€" cision to adhere to the east side of the railway is believed to have been the result of aerial surveys made in that part of the country. A number of plane trips have also been made, it is reported, over the Wahnapitae valley country, with favorable conditions seen from the air leading to virtual abanâ€" donment Oof the Milnetâ€"Shiningtree route.
