‘CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, April 15; 1965 . CASTLEGAR NEWS | “Tere Tet the press the people's rights Litehed in unawed by ibed by gain” d and tea Delay Caused Unnecessary Tempest A 2¥%-hour meeting in the Robson hall last week cost B.C, Hydro between $7,000 and $10,000 more than it intended to spend on a water system for residents south of the Arrow dam whose water supplies will be affected by dam con- struction and taught the Authority an important lesson: Don’t delay unredson- ably approaches to persons being affected in any way by the treaty projects. As it turned out, Hydxo was so sure what’ it was offering the people. was a good ‘deal and one that wouldn’t be turned down that it proceeded with the implementation of its proposal without even; apparently, considering how it would be received by those who were expected to accept it. The result was a tempest in a tea- cup that need never have occured. + “The residents of the area were up in ‘arms over the daily limits on water amounts written into the ¢ontracts they were expected to sign. As it was, it turned ‘out that Hydro had obtained these figures from the water licences held on the Columbia and tributary streams by the individual ‘property owners: and had — ate understandably .— felt such quantities met the complete needs of ‘the residents. The quantities did not, of course, simply because most people aré drawing far more water from the river than their licences permit. As for the difference (and a costly difference at that) between fourinch and six-inch mains, the four-inch was ample to supply the residents with water but with the real possibility. of. a dis- trict’: municipalty being formed in this area, the six-inch mains are a require: © ment. of the Fire Insurance Underwriters that residents rightly felt should be in- stalled. * This experience of the Authority's with the 40 Robson families should serve to illustrate to all Hydro’s, departments the great necessity ‘for consultation with affected. persons as early as possible in the various phases of the treaty’s devel- opment. It is fortunate that the meeting last week took place. It solved'a serious con- cern of the residents affected on several points and ‘it illustrates to Hydro the need for beter liaison with residents ‘all along the lakes who are being affected by, the Arrow project. Let's Ail Help Prevent Water Pollution -National Wildlife Week is an annual observance declared by an act of the Parliament of Canada in 1947: This province is blessed with an ab- undant supply of clean,-fresh water but in tTecent weeks controversy — has raged over the problem of ation of certain oyster beds on the east coast of Vancouver Island. There are several contributing factors that are too lengthy to describe in detail but they may be grouped together and classed un- der the heading of pollution. ,.

How’ to Spend Over $5 Billion If you were able to spend $200, 000 every day of your life it would take you 96 years to spend $5 billion, reports the Mercer Acturarial Bulletin, _ Xt. points out that with our soaring lly and p ially and with the tremendous activity in the fields of capital expenditure and construction we have become ‘almost immune to the meaning or importance of large numbers. The Canada Pension Plan is ex- pected to create a fund which will reach $5 billion by 1975. How much is $5 billion? Putting it in terms of time and terms of amounts we can better visualize, here are several ways of defining $5 billion. ‘ Tf a 2l-year-old set out to spend $25,000 per hour, 8 hours a day, every week of the year, he would have to’ live to age 117 to achieve his objective. ~ TE you laid $5 billion in'$1 bills end to end, they would encircle the earth at its equator. 20 times.
