'People of Arrow Lakes Valley Have Won

Former Robson resident Fred Pres-
;sacco has accepted B.C.’ Hydro’s original
‘offer. for his Robson property and thus
‘the dispute will not go on to the su-
'preme court.

. In a sense this’ is unfortunate; in an-
‘other sense, it is not.

Certainly Mr. Pressacco hag won
I his case in the higher court of public op-
‘inion and it is this that he possibly hoped
{to achieve. As for the matter of the su-

‘preme court, the strain and tension which '

: Mr, Pressacco and_ his family have been
‘under is such that nobody in their right
;minds would continue to live. under such
‘pressure unless it was absolutely neces-
‘sary.

There is no doubt in this newspaper's
opinion that had Mr. Pressacco chosen
to. continue on to the supreme court that
he would have won his case. Whether
for not the compensation set by the val-
‘uator appointed by the lieutenant-gover-
:mor in council would have been upheld
is a moot point. However, it is unlikely
‘that Hydro’s counter- “appeal that the com,
‘pensation was excessive and should have
-been $9,500 would have stood up and
thus the Authority would in all probabil-
tity have been assessed with the court
costs, although the likelihood of a Hydro
appeal beyond a single judge of the su-
‘preme court to the full court would also
‘have been quite possible.

Mr. Pressacco has achieved much for
tee Property-owners who have yet to

‘MICTORIA REPORT

deal with Hydro:

In all ‘probability the Authority will
be much more conscientious about ap-
praisals that it carries out while expro-
priation will probably be a last. resort
that is unlikely to be resorted to until
all other avenues of conciliation have
been explored,

It is. unlikely that the provincial
comptroller of water rights will be asked
to review a case immediately after an
offer has been refused and before other
avenues for settling differences have been
exhausted. It is also highly likely that the
comptroller, will look at both sides of
any cases presented to him, not just the
side that Hydro would like him, to see.

It may well be that the B.C. Hydro
and Power _Authority Act will never
again be used for a Columbia river treaty
expropriation but that if such action ever
becomes necessary, the water act will be
used.

It is also highly improbable that the
Authority will. again expropriate an ‘in-
dividual while his case is still before

way, Mr. Pressacco in his fight with

this was a very fine way of

the hard reality of lost free-
dom in 1948 when the iron
curtain fell and separated his
native country, Czechoslovakia,
from the free world.
