"Contracts totalling $293, - 000 for clearing rights-of-way, awarded in recent weeks by the Department, are part of an over-all policy to provide the greatest possible amount of winter employment on a local basis," said Highways Minister MacNaughton in a statement on winter employment just issued. The contracts total 81 miles of new right-of-way, Over and above the work done on departmental contracts awarded for clearing and high- way construction, the depart- ment has had under way its own program of winter work. In the extensive program, various types of work are performed by men hired locally on a day labour basis.. This program, representing an estimated 1, 000, 000 man hours of work, will cost approx- imately $2, 357, 000, "The class of work which provides the greatest number of man hours of day labour is clearing of brush and trees, particularly for widening the rights-of-way of existing King's Highways, as well as clearing for new mileage. Such work is distinct from that done under clearing contracts awarded by the department. Repairs to cul- verts ulverts and bridges, the laying of gravel and minor grading work are other examples of how men are given much-needed employ- ment," the Minister continued. "One million man hours may not impress the average reader, " Mr. MacNaughton went on, "but when you consider that the total number of men employed on a day labour basis for the type of winter work described will range between a low of ap- proximately 800 in the early months to a high of 1,800 by February, the million figure be- gins to hit home." Other work which the Depart- ment of Highways reserves for the winter months is preparing new or enlarging existing Picnic Sites. Expenditures in this classification run in the neigh- bourhood of $137.000. In addition to the men re- cruited locally for winter pro- jects, the Department of High- ways gives work to some 2,000 men on a seasonal basis for Winter Maintenance.
