The Eastern Manitoba Development Board learned at its Beausejour meeting that No 4 East will be rebuilt from use four to Brereton corner, and No 11 North to Belair junction, with main work to Leig's corner and the Whiteshell entrance upgrades. The board requests No 15 grade and gravel be completed to Nourse in 1960, and urges delaying No 15 east of Nourse until four other northeast routes are built or paved, including a Whiteshell entrance trunk highway and a Lac du Bonnet bridge route to connect Pointe du Bois and Bird Lake roads.
