Ald. David Smith of Silverton acknowledged the forest industry is a **major player” in the valley, and described Slocan Forest Products’ modern sawmill as a ‘great’ area asset. CLEARCUTTING FEARED He warned, however, that the “strongest view" of the public is that the “pristine and scenic quality”’ of the Slocan Valley is threatened by clear- cut logging. He said the general consensus is that the forestry industry in the area is ina state of decline, and that the next step is to cut main valley walls not by selec- tive logging, but by clear-cutting specific sites. Harkening back to earlier remarks describing the regionalization initiative as a good ane because of the involvement of people, Smith said community input has been provided and he asked what the minister can do to help.

Smith said Silverton was: interested in such a proposal, but had received in- formation about it after its annual municipal budget had been finalized.
