BRITISH COLUMBIA WOULD
 PUT UP CASH FOR ROADS
 LEADING INTO TERRITORY

NCOUVER-Premier Hart told members of the Northwest Trade Association at a meeting here that the British Columbia Government is prepared to spend s6,0O0,0O0 for road linking the southern Canad- ian province with the Alaska High way in the Peace River district.
 Hart also said British Columbia is willing to spend six to seven mil lions for a railway connection be- tween QuesneI and Prince George if United States military authorities will undertake construction of a railway north from Prince George.
 Government Owned
 The Pacific Great Eastern, own ed by the British Columbia Govern ment, runs from Squamiss to Ques- nel.
 Four survey parties are now working out of Prince George to de termine the best possible route for connecting with the highway, he said, stressing, however, the diffi- culty of obtaining equipment and supplies if it is decided to carry out the project now.
 Adopt Resolution
 Delegates to the meeting adopted a resolution expressing their ap- preciation for Hart's offer, but stated they favored the "B' route, a highway running north to con- meet with the Alaska Military High way at Watson Lake on the Yukon British Columbia border.
 The delegates pledged themselves to urge both the Canadian and the United States government to as- sist in the construction of the "B" route.
