Instead of waiting for petitions to come from property owners, the council has decided to have the work performed on a shared-cost basis under the tocal Improvement Act. The act provides that owners may be specially assessed for the work, unless a petition objecting to the project is received from a majority of owners representing at least one-half, of the value of the abutting lots. - Owners will be notified by letter of the council's intentions and have until August 1 to file a petition of protest with the city. Plans for the work have been incorporated in four bylaws which are to be considered separately by property owners in registering objections. About 18,000 lineal feet of sidewalks will' be constructed at a cost of $55,000 if the program is carried, out as planned by the city engineer. Contemplated is a continuation of the concrete curbs and gutters on various sections... of George, Quebec, Brunswick, Vancouver and Dominion streets, and Second, Fourth and Fifth Avenues. Estimated cost of this portion of the work is $11,978.50 of which the city's share is $7,985.67 and the balance will be raised by special assessments. Rate per foot frontage~is^$l,15. A separate bylaw calls for the construction of curbs and gutters between a dozen points on George Street, First, Second, Third, Fourth and Fifth avenues, at a cost of $19,637.40. The balance will be paid.by property owners at the rate of $2.30 per foot frontage, -f Also planned are six-foot-six-inch sidewalks on First, Third, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth avenues and Brunswick, Victoria, Georye and Quebec streets; four-foot-six-inch sidewalks on First, Second, Fifth and Seventeenth avenues and Dominion, Queensway and Victoria streets; eight-foot sidewalks on George Street and Third and Fourth avenues, and six-foot sidewalks on - First, Third and Fourth avenues and Queensway street. . Special assessments covering the property owners' share pf the costs are to be paid in ten annual instalments. Where no opposition is registered by" property owners, it is expected a start will be made on the various projects this year and carried on as long as the weather permits. Injured Logger — Home For Visit Cheerful, and confident he will soon fully recover from a near-fatal bush accident near Prince George 13 months ago, a 33-year-old contract logger returned to j his home at 1699 Cedar Street Saturday night. Gordon Larson, accompanied ; by Mrs. Larson, crossed the Stone Creek bridge only a few hours before the' north approach i was . cut by the flood-swollen stream. | While working at West Lake Sawmills on May 25, 1954,—Ah\ Larson suffered severe head in-j juries and a broken back when struck by a flying pulley block. ! Following an emergency operation at Prince George and District Hospital, he was flown to ; Vancouver General Hospital : wlier^ he remained until last ' April "when he was transferred i to a rehabilitation centre for ' treatment. I Although still confined to a : wheel chair, Mr. Larson is happy I to be back home with his wife ¦ and two young children, despite j the fact he must return to the rehabilitation centre in about six weeks. Author Is Hardened Traveller A visitor to The Citizen office Monday was Vera Kelsey of New York City and Rio De Janeiro, author of a book on Manitoba's Red River and a dozen other travel and mystery volumes. She arrived here from Prince Rupert and-intends-to—go~to~the~ Peace River country in the course of a British Columbia tour in which she will assemble material' for a descriptive book on the province and its people. The dynamic little woman will sleep in logging camps, wayside shacks, tents, or in the open air. She has done it all before. "1 never travelled in luxury," she said. . "My longest travels were in the interior of China to Peiping and .Tientsin and the Gobi desert and as far as the Himajayas. '•J've travelled third and fourth class on Chinese trains. I've been hundreds of miles by donkey, and once went half a day in a wheelbarrow. "There's going to be a lot that's new in British Columbia but nothing as-tough as I've had before. "1 never bothered about what I was eating or drinking. I ale everything that the Chinese coolies ate and drank water from the same pots. There wasn't anything else to do. And, perhaps because of this, I was never seriously sick." _______________________i She will travel inTTC. for more than a year, recording her impressions of people, cities and hamlets. Asked to give her impressions of Prince George, Mrs. Kelsey replied: "It's a lively little place all right—there seems" to be two men for every woman." TAKING UP SPACE EDMONTON (CP)—High school students "who habitually neglect their studies" will be *j;ked to leave school, a committee of the Edmonton public school board decided. Students who won't cooperate will be warned, put on probation, then if no improvement is shown will be asked to leave. Lawnmowing .

CARIBOO ROAD (Continued from Page 1) highway inundated by water. A number of motorists, trapped by the big washouts south of Quesnel, crossed to the old road on the west side of. the Fra'ser .River by the ferry at Marguerite. But this road was soon blocked by overflowing streams. Highway traffic started flowing across Stone Creek, 22 miles south of Prince George, at 9 p.m. Tuesday following a 3S-hour tie-up which resulted from the wiping out by flood waters of SO-fpot section of the north approach to the old King-truss span. When the water receded, Public Works engineers decided to construct a new crossing a short distance upstream from the stricken bridge and to build new approaches. * The temporary one-lane bridge is J30-feet long, and has a ten-' ton gross load limit. Later it is planned to add mud sills and. posts to support the centres of the spans, which %will permit the load limits to be removed. A report from Dawson Creek this morning states the road between that city and Edmonton is rough but passable. From points along the upper Fraser River east of Prince George' come reports of raging streams and freshets swelling the river to a level only one foot below the 1948 flood peak. But the situation improved Tuesday when the river dropped 1.8 feet, and all creeks are returning to normal early-summer levels. For a time two feet of water covered two 1000-foot sections of the northern transprovincial highway cast of McBride. Small washouts occurred at Valemount, Moose' River and at three . points a . short distance west of Red Pass Junction. These have been repaired. High water also sent the river flowing over the road at Hansard and Dewey, but the river. level is now reported stationary at those points. The Hansard ferry is out of operation. ? TOO MANY TROUT EDMONTON (CP) — Arthur Craig of Edmonton trout fishing club says rainbow trout are so plentiful in Alberta lakes that the provincial government has appealed to anglers to catch them.
