Hence, Hydro was coming in — we believed — at a very late date with a proposal which could have well bankrupted a number of nice people’ in the Castlegar district who didn’t deserve such’ treatment. However, we would have given our. full support to the proposal (including the need to have the ratepayers of Castlegar vote on whether or not the area in ques- tion should have’been admitted to the vil- lage) because of the benefits it would” have brought to the residents of Castle- gar, and eventually, the whole district: The property was to be subdivided in such'a way by Hydro that at the ond. gfe .
