“What's it oing to do to. the

it is up t6, the residents in that

Difficult as it may seem to believe, the ‘puilding,, of 2:
the High Arrow storage, dam‘ 4% | miles above Castlegar:
will actually mean more inexpensive power for B.C, than’
the building’ ofthe Murphy Creek dam which would pro-

duce power on- -site,

The building of High _Arrow “instead of Murphy
Creek is not just the’ difterence of storing 5,000,000.
acre feet''more of “water, but because of the. value of
downstream benefits and the fact that present and pro-
Posed installations at Brilliant would not be harmed by”
High Arrow, the building of the large storage dam is‘

more beneficial.

As was said editorially lest week, High Arrow would
Produce in downstream benefits a return to B.C. of. 75
er cent of the power which could be generated on-site.
at ‘Murphy @réek. But the following figures now show
the effect the building of Murphy Creek would have on
the power generation of the present and proposed Bril-
lant dams —.an effect tat would see their power out-

put cut,

The building of Murhpy Creek,would cut the output
of the present ‘Brilliant dam'’s.50,000 kw by 16 per cent,
or 8,000 kw, The second dam of 213,000 kw installed ‘cap-
acity which could: be, built at. Brilliant (and it is inevit-

, able that it will be built if the non-diversion plant | is ac-
cepted ‘by the: governments concerned) would be cut by
‘the same percentage and would result ina loss of 34,080 ~

Already, then, the potential on-site power of Murphy *
Creék of 218,000 kw must! be cut by a total of 42,080 kw
since the building of Murphy would cut the power output

of | the two Brilliant dams

ay In: addition, half the power

“Creek and not for High Arrow OR Murphy Creek.)
_¢,.‘These 200,000 kw, added to the 42,080 kw. which must
already be deducted from Murphy Creek as the amount
that the two. Brilliant dams will be affected by, gives a
total of 242,080 kw which must-be charged against Mur-
phy Creek if itis built in place of High Arrow,
Thus the amount of direct and indirect power which
High Arrow could be responsible for. by building it in

i. ‘place of Murphy Creek is 242,080 kw. This figure is 82,-

:, 080 kw more than would accrue to High Arrow from
s straight downstream ‘benefits. (The full 8,000,000 acre

The village’s' new “srontage

tion with council and many ques-
tions were answered. Mr. Oglow
said that if the bylaw “should
at any time create more hard-
ship then is reasonable it will be
revised.” He added that he did
not expect this to happen.

Comm, Aage Sylvest said
that 95 per cent of the homes in
the village will not experience
difficulties with the bylaw while
the 5 per cent that might have
difficulties would have to have
them straightened out ‘on an in-
dividual basis.”

Village clerk Joe p Lorelin said
that there are less than a dozen
letters on the bylaw that have
come into the. office and they,
will be dealt with at the court

Water chairman Aage Syl-

new tank will take place this
year. at an elevation 110 feet
greater than the elevation of the
present tank.

He said the increased eleva-

tion will help give “some im-

the Shewchuck, but said the im-
provement-would have to be paid
for. by: the increased costs of
pumping to the new height,
He read ‘from an engineering
report that said the new elevation
will see an increase from 26
pounds pressure to 73 pounds

but noted that he personally feels
friction will take away some of
this gain.
