In fact, we haven't even reached the average amount of precipitation for the month, which is 55.4 millimetres, Ron Lakeman said. But at 48.4 mm and more rain forecast for the rest of the week and into the weekend, that average and above is a definite Possibility, Lakeman said. Though no consolation to ball players or gardeners, Castlegar residents can feel lucky it’s not the same as last year when 97.4 mm poured down in May, or 1981 when a record was set with 102.8 mm. “*We’ve definitely had a lot of rain in the last two weeks but I'd say we're nowhere near record pace,”’ Lakeman said. He said Castlegar residents can ex- Pect some drying out for Friday and Saturday with only a chance of showers but then it should be back to rain come Sunday and Monday. “At this point I can’t say there’s Aany_real_reli¢f in sight,’’ Lakeman said.

West K VINTAGE CADDY Attempt By SIMON BIRCH Editor Castlegar city council has added its name to the list of those opposed to CP Rail’s application to abandon its Castlegar-to-Midway line and will ask the National Transportation Agency to hold a local public hearing on CP’s request. The NTA turned down’€P’s initial application to abandon the line in 1987 because there was a possibility the line could become profitable in the future. However, CP says it lost nearly $3 million between 1986 and 1988 and has asked the NTA to recon- sider the application to abandon the line. But opponents of the abandonment + argue that the line could be used to transport wood chips to the Celgar pulp mill from the Grand Forks area if the proposed expansion of the mill proceeds. And one Castlegar alderman Suggested at Tuesday night’s council meeting that CP has not made an ef- fort to encourage businesses to use the Fail line, of more than 100 vintage car owners who drove their the y on the Victoria Day weekend to participate in the annual Provincial tour of vintage cars.

Earlier this month, Roy Proctor, chief of transportation subsidies for the NTA’s western region, told the Castlegar News the agency can order Public hearings if it determines there is evidence of a substantial amount of sconomic development in an area which could lead to greater use of a branch line, But Thurston, in his let- ter to the city, says the NTA so far has not decided whether to hold public hearings.
