Protests Hardness of Water And Celgar’s ‘Cabbage’ Smell

Dear Sir:

Forty-five years ago I moved to the small community of Cas- tlegar where the water, though carried from the Columbia, was fresh and soft; where the air, though alternately cold and hot, was fresh and invigorating.

As the years flowed by, many other people heard of this peace. ful village and they moved here to take advantage of the clean, soft water and the stimulating air.

For years we were all happy in our little healthy haven, spe Celgar came. Celgar

Celgar assured us that our water would still be good; that our air would remain fresh, We were gul. lible and encouraged Celgar to come. 4

It is true Celgar brought pros- Perity—at least temporarily. Many people flocked to our community. During the construction we were breaking at the seams. But then the mill went ino operation. The Columbia water was ruined. We were given water from wells. The water is clean but extremely hard, This is and will raise havoc with

gress. Celgar promized prosperity.

our with our water heaters,

Our air was doomed. In its Place prevails an: almost contin. uous horrid cabbage stench,

, Celgar claimed that its smoke is: not detrimental to vegetation, Has anybody lately noticed the trees on the southeastern slopes from the mill?. They are turning crispy brown, This seems rather unusual for such a damp summer, ° .Our'clean soft water is’ re- Placed ‘by hard water, our fresh air by a horrible, stinking excuse for air, Many “refugees” from the amoke of Trail and other industrial areas are considering moving back where they came from: because the

; The winter works. figures are.

With a normal village crew

‘of four, Castlegar put as’ many. “as 27 exira men to work daring the peak periods of the winter works program. Between April L‘and 15 there were 25 extra men at work, .while » between April 16 and 30. there were 27 extra men at: work.

An average of 20 extra em- Ployees worked for ‘the village during the ‘seven-month . period and the ‘federal and provincial governments ‘each: put up about $8 in. wages for every dollar p2id the men by the village. ‘

This. means. a ‘man earning ao -a) day. was being paid less

than .$1.a day from local tax monies. The federal and provincial treasuries were footing the Hon’s share’ of the bill.

Mr. Logelin’s figures bear out why Castlegar:commissioners have been so. enthusiastic “about. the winter works program : and” why. they have done as much work un- der the program as possible.
