FOR MANITOBA ROADS Manitoba's Department of Public Works is developing a long-term program of highway construction which calls for a minimum expenditure of 130 million over the next ten years, it was announced by Hon. F.C. Bell, Minister of the department, in the provincial Legislature. This year's 27-million-dollar outlay for roads is the first in- stalment on the long-range plan, Mt. Bell stated. Plans include $92 million for rebuilding and resurfacing of provincial trunk highways; $20 million for extension of the trunk highway system; $15,300,000 for completion of the Trans-Canada highway and $3 million for completing the bypass to the north of Winnipeg. The length of time these projects will take to complete will depend on the amount of aid received from the Federal Government, Mt, Bell stated. Completion of the program could be expected in less than the allotted ten years, he said, if federal aid was expanded. The estimated $20 million for trunk highway extension provides for the addition of 500 miles of highway - location of which will be determined . by traffic counts, Mt. Bell stated. Increased traffic on Manitoba highways is expected to result from the opening of the St. Lawrence Seaway, the minister pointed out. - 30 - PROVINCE OF MANITOBA PROPOSED HIGHWAY PROGRAMME 1956 - 1957 Location Mileage Nature of work Trans-Canada Highway East P.T.H.

    The Herdsman's House – Neubergthal

    Heritage Posting 1 No. 75 June 2013 The Herdsman’s House – Neubergthal by Margruite Krahn In 1998 when Paul and I purchased the John P Klippenstein property, it was the barn that caught our attention, and the reason for our move to Neubergthal. Shortly after settling onto the property we learned of the value of another building on the property, the village herdsman’s house. The knowledge that this was the only remaining dwelling of its type in Manitoba, meant we had to make a decision we hadn’t expected to stabilize and later restore the structure. What we have come to learn from written research and the oral tradition of local residents, is that this three room ca.1890’s wood frame structure was initially a herdsman’s house in Gnadenthal, and moved to Neubergthal in ca.1900. All indications are that it was also used as the village herdsman’s house in Neubergthal. “Sometime after the village agreement ended (1909), the transition away from the communal pasture and herdsman occurred, and each village farmer pastured their own cattle. Perhaps this Herdsman’s House and Krahn Barn ( built by P. J. was as early as 1912, as that was when Peter Klippenstein Klippenstein in 1929) established the yard on which the house hold thatching. ”(Prairie Settlement Patterns, L.
