The piece argues that if conditions of employment were clear in Thompson, applicants would not travel to The Pas.

Province to finance lighting for Saskatchewan River Bridge
The Pas urges Manitoba and the Province to share costs for illuminating the Saskatchewan River Bridge to reduce traffic hazards. Manitoba Hydro proposed 49 vapor lamps at about $2,650 yearly, with seven lamps inside town limits. The Province will pay half, claiming street lighting is not town responsibility, grading the bridge as a highway under provincial jurisdiction. The town warns that a serious accident may occur and accountability would rest with the Province.
