The decrease could be at- tributed to the success of policing efforts or to a natural drop from a high rate in 1978, he said. “We have been success- ful in clearing up almost all of our major crimes that we've had in the area,” he said. “Almost all of our out- standing breaks. and entries were cleared up. Our crime rate as far as detections are concerned is running well in excess of 50 per cent, which is considerably higher than the provincial average. All these things contribute, hopefully, ; toward making crime decrease.” He also pointed out that "an extra burden on the muni- General policy for BCGEU members Forest ministry reorganization prob- lems which spurred picketing in the West eotenay and else- where in the southern B.C. interior tast mon- th are not the only targets ‘of the new polic with the Government negotiated . reclassified downward-or de- — minis moted.

The sec- ond unit was installed in March, the third is planned for operation late this fall and the fourth will follow as re- quired. Although Seven Mile does not rank among Hydro's biggest projects, it is able to yield a substantial amount of power with « small reservoir because control of the river's flow is provided at no extra , upstream in the United States. During construction of the dam, the Pend d’Oreille River was diverted through a 850-foot-long tunnel in a solid ‘rock bluff. An upstream cofferdam was built to divert the river's flow into the tunnel before the permanent concrete dam was constructed... Down- stream, a second cofferdam protected the lower end_ of the work site. A 421-ton hydraulic cy- linder, .60 feet in length, was used to lower an 80-storey- high, 450-ton steel gate to seal off the’ entrance of the project’s diversion tunnel. This permitted flooding of the reservoir — backing up the water to ‘the Canadian- U.S. border. The concrete dam is 216 feet high, with a crest length of 1,100 feet. It provides road access to the south side of the Pend d'Oreille ‘River. The project, in addition to the dam, consists of a spillway, powerhouse, switchyard, access roads and other associated works.

He said the sites ex- amined by the engineer, including Cominco’s old HB mine site south of Salmo, amount to “about 13 al- together” and are located “from Krestova to pretty near Castlegar.” The RDCK chairman said he expected a prompt decision by the five dir- ectors on whatever site is recommended by the con- sultant as a replacement for the overworked sites at the Nelson waterfront, Sal- mo and Balfour. Nelson, Salmo, Areas E, F, G refuse site study findings unveiled Thursday “I hope the committee Thursday night is going to select a site,” he said. “We want to get going.” He said up to $200,000 generated by the 2.99-mill levy approved by refer- endum in late March for the garbage function will be more than adequate to cover development of the new site because it was calculated on the possibil- ity of “hauling garbage to the farthest point.” “If we had to haul from one end of the area to the other we could have done it,” MacNeill said. “We told people we were looking at the worst sit- uation we could have.” . But the closer the new site is to Nelson, the RDCK chairman said, the better. “There's two loads a day out of there," he said. “Out of Salmo we have one load a week — you can afford to haul that a ways.” Of the prospective sites studied, land at Rover Creek and Hall's Siding were closest to Nelson, MacNeill said.
