Ald. Albort Calderbank said that Castlegar and Nelson
councils, as’ well as | the . Kootenay: Boundary Visitors
Association have supported a request that Hydro include a

Calderbank also said a trailer facility to ferry boats around

“They are the big money people that come up from the

building inspector.

The figures for March
show building permit values
of nearly $183,000, compared
to almost $865,000 for the

same period last year, a drop -

of about 50 per cent.

‘At the same time the num-

March were for minor resi-

residential homes, three for

the amount of gas bubbles created when the water pours
over the dam.

That gas is detrimental to the fish, he said.

At an earlier meeting, project co-ordinator Peter Calder;-:

- said the Keenleyside construction should take four years and
employ 450 at peak levels, while Murphy Creek will take five

years and employ 1,000 at its peak period,

Calder added that if Keenleyside must go to the utilities
commission and a full public hearing, construction wouldn't
start before spring of 1984. He said construction could start
earlier if the provincial cabinet exempts the project from
public hearing.

However, he noted Hydro is treating the Keenleyside
project asif it will be required to go to a full hearing and will
apply for it and Murphy Creek jointly in September.

Mayor Audrey Moore, Ald. Len Embree and works
superintendent Igor Zahynacz will be meeting with energy,
mines and petroleum resources minister Bob McLelland
‘April 22 in Victoria to ask for exemption of the Keenleyside
project.

Calder added that even if Hydro was given the go-ahead
“tomorrow” for the Keenleyside project, it couldn't start
construction until 1983 when the water level is low again,

wouldn't go as far as to say
the government will be bal-

Under the bill, municipal-

and municipal restructuring,
while the provincial taxpay-

ers will assume the full cost

cipalities currently pay seven

“In the short term this
year the municipalities will
be down about five per cent
on their revenues over what
they were last year,” Vander
Zalm said in an interview:

“The real benefit to the
municipalities, of course, is
the fact that the welfare has
been removed which is a pro-
gram that is escalating trem-
