Kinnaird-Salmo Go-Ahead is Great News

A news item of major importance for
this area — indeed the whole Kootenay
region — appeared in this paper last week.

The item, dealing with the Kinnaird-
Salmo highway, appeared in the column
of our Victoria correspondent, Uoyd Mac-
key. The story contained the Important news
that Rossland-Trail MLA Chris D’Arcy had
disclosed that half of the money required
to build the long-sought-after “missing
link" in the Southern Trans-Canada High-
way is provided for in this year's. high-
ways department budget.

This is great news for the Castlegar
district, and the item should have been
extracted from Mr. Mackey’s column and
given significant prominence on this news-
paper's front page. We apologize to Mr.
D’Arcy and our readers for not having
given this important announcement the
more dramatic news coverage it should
have obviously deserved.

The Kinnaird-Salmo Highway has long
been a high priority objective of the
Castlegar and District Chamber of Com-
merce and of ‘the’ municipal councils of
the twin towns of Castlegar and Kinnaird.
During the many years thet this highway
has been mooted, a lot of facts were pro-
mulgated in its support, and some fiction
proffered in the opr Pp J fo it.

This fiction is continuing even today,

present MLA told Mr. Mackey.

Although we subscribe to the pro-
vincial Hansard, we haven't yet found the
time to read it, Hopefully, though, we'll
find Mr. D'Arcy isn't making the same
kind of uninformed comments inside the
Legislature as this one made outside the

House to Mr. Mackey. The facts of the

matter are that Mr. Brothers did not an-
nounce any program for the Kinnaird-Salmo
Highway in prior election years, despite
considerable public pressure from many
groups and individuals to do so. When
last year’s provincial election was called,
tenders had already been advertised for
the first section of the highway and the
contract was awarded before Mr. Brothers’
government left office.

Mr, D'Arcy might check with his col-
league, Mines Minister Leo Nimsick, who
represents Kootenay Riding. Mr. Nimsick
knows full well the former government
made no commitment on the Kinnaird-
Salmo in prior election years because he
was a vocal spokesman in the Legislature
for it, chiding the Socred government fre-
quently for its lack of action on the nec-
essary highway link.

Premier Dave Barrett’s government de-
serves full marks for including such a large
sum of money for this road in its estimates
for the new fiscal year which begins April
1. In turn, Mr. D’Arcy deserves full credit

as witness some of Mr. D'Arcy's
to Mr. Mackey.

Amongst other ‘things, Mr. D'Arcy.
said the former member for this riding,
Donald used the pi

d high-.

for und ing the need for
this road with Highways Minister Robert
Strachan. Completion of the “missing link”
by the next election will stand as its own

to the F of our

way before each election as a major poli-
tical announcement. “It should have been
12 lanes by now, if all that was supposed
to be in the works had gone ahead,” the
