Since this time however, Dal- ton says the NDP have been find- ing millions of dollars elsewhere to paint two different bridges; the Taylor bridge, which spans the Peace River south of Fort St. John, and the Paulson bridge, which crosses en route to Grand Forks. The 712 metre Taylor bridge was supposed to be sporting a new $3.6-million paint job last fall, but a series of labour prob- lems has one official calculating the cost to be much higher. An article in B.C. Report magazine, states John Shannon, project manager for one of three compa- nies working on the bridge, esti- mates the total job will cost $8 million. The article, titled Painted The cost to bring the ferry back to Castlegar-Robson was estimated by Charbonneau to be $500,000, which he said also included changes to other ferry systems. Based on the ferry’s last year of operation here, Dalton estimates it would cost $213,000 a year to operate the ferry once again in this area. “TI truly feel that if they have that much money to spend on painting bridges, then they also have money to bring our ferry back,” Dalton finished. The Castlegar-Robson ferry was removed from operation by the Social Credit Government in 1988, despite heavy resistance from Robson ferry users. Since that time, Dalton and others have been lobbying the government for the ferry’s return to Castlegar- Robson. 1’? 99: BLUEBERRIES While stocks last ¢ 5 Ib. box 5° Golden ripe BANANAS 73 kg “99: Hydro official says information not correct TRAIL TIMES Renewed pessimism of B.C Imported #1] CAULIFLOWER 1.52 kg 69: B.C.

Hydro spokesman. Peter McMullan, a B.C Hydro spokesman, said Monday that a July 19 news report that Hydro would release as much as 100,000 cubic feet per second (c.f.s.) starting Monday “is not correct”. In May and June, B.C. Hydro came under criticism when releases under the Columbia River Treaty caused levels of the Arrow Lakes reservoir to drop dramatically. But, while B.C. Hydro states “reservoirs are still expected to be well below full throughout the sum- mer” in its July 17 weekly “Columbia Briefing’ released weekly, McMullan emphasizes there “has been no major change in the outlook for reser- voir levels.” According to the Briefing, the Arrow Lakes discharge at Keenleyside Dam “has been increased substantially for (this) week”, but “the Arrow reservoir level is expected to hold at about its current level for the remainder of July.” As of July 16, the Arrow Lakes level was 1414.5 feet, which was up 3.3 feet from the previous week. However, the 1991 level was 1433.2 feet and the projected elevation of 1413 to 1416 feet for July 24 com- | pares with a level of 1438.1 feet | at the same time last year.
