president’ Ronald M. Gross in the annual report of Canadian, Cellulose (Can-Cel) which was released last week,

The provincial government 3

took’ control of Can-Cel last

June 29, buying out the 92 per

cent. holding of Celanese Corp.

of New. -York ‘in Columbia Nulose,;:

‘The discussion of pollution contro! is in a section’ on forward planning for Can-Cel. The report confirms net earn- ings in 1973 of $12,818,000 ‘or $1.01 per share compared with a loss of $7,959,000 or 65 cents a share in 1972, Net sales were $193,801,000 in 1973, up from: $118,793,000 in 1972,

Mr. Gross’! report shows that Can-Cel is actively study- ing its wood resources, resi- duals supply, its Prince Rupert sulphite mill and. its ‘interior kraft plant. While it doesn't say ‘so specifically, there are hints that expansions and’ changes are being considered.

“Significant additional ex- penditures will be required in future years to meet discharge standards” required. by both federal and provincial pollution : regulations,” said Gross,

“The -company. is | prepar-. ing a comprehensive environ- mental protection program to meet requirements of regula- tory authorities. © While this” program is not yet finalized, it will entail substantial’ capital expenditures.”

In: addition to the ‘eati-

mated $30 million outlay for the 1

two, kraft’ mills, ‘starting this year, — Can-Cel - is’ carefully examining the Prince Rupert sulphite mill,

In the interior, Can-Cel is’ reviewing total wood availabil-.

In his outlook for 1974, the president said he.’ expects

_further increases in the price of

pulp which rose’ April’ 1. He notes that’ Can-Cel, alongwith the B.C." industry,
