The company, he said, will seek necessary certificates and licences early nexl year with the intention of starting construction of a pilot tunnel by late iring and of beginning by the end of 10G1 or early l!)(ili the raising of finances by public subscription to pay for dam construction.

"Then," said trustee Bob Range, '�when someone asks what teachers' salaries are we can give them the true picture." In another motion, Harold Moffal asked that all principals in the district compile reports for the board outlining the duties of their vice-principals. "I want to know how much time is spent on teaching and how much on extra duties," he said. Bus Schedules School board operating council will study the possibility of having school buses stationed at strategic -locations outside the city in an attempt to improve the limes at which pupils are "transported to their schools. The recommendation was made in a transportation report prepared by District Superintendent K. F. Alexander, following complaints that pupils are picked up very early in the morning and dropped off late in the afternoon, making the school day too long. MORE REASONABLE If a bus was stationed at Stone Creek, for instance, he said, elementary pupils at Red Rock. Buckhorn, Pineview and possibly Blackburn Road would be transported al a more reasonable time. Five buses which are currently looking after the transportation of youngsters within the district make nine runs daily. Mr. Alexander said two double runs could probably be eliminated when the new Kelly Road Junior High School opens. B.C.'s crude oil industry, dogged by problems of getting its commodity to a big market, is considering a $150,000,000, long-distance pipeline project. Spokesmen for the industry snid here Tuesday the timing of the project depends on how ra-1 pidly crude reserves accumulate in the oil-rich northwestern cor-! ner of the province but it is a | "distinct possibility for 1961." 190 itilLES The need for a 400-miie pipeline from the Fort St. John-Daw-son Creek area to tidewater at Kitimat or to connect with the Trans-Mountain Oil Pipeline somewhere in the B.C. interior has been set forth to the government, where it has been given a tepid reception. Crude oil reserves al June this year were estimated at 08,828,900 barrels, more than the two refineries in Northern B.C. could be expected to absorb. Since the first oil wells were drilled eight years ago, producers say that the industry has been penalized by poor transportation. "As the situation is, there is no incentive for oil drilling, un like other Western provinces where oil and natural gas development usually go hand-in-hand," said oiic spokesman. 18 MONTHS AGO Public hearings were held here 18 months ago on four applications to build a line which would carry crude from oil fields north of Fort St. John.

It proposed four-inch gathering lines in the Bealton River-Milligau Creek - Boundary Lake fields, injecting into an eight-inch main which would deliver crude to the Vancouver-bound flow of the Trans-Mountain system near Edson, Alta.

B.C. government attached a provision to the licence that if i whites and Nc at any future date an oil pipeline I jn crews of 10 was built entirely in B.C., its crude would have to be diverted into the new system. The government denies it added the provision after granting the licence and says Peace River knew of the stipulation all along. LICENCE RETURNED Peace River returned the licence and this fall it was awarded lo Trans-Prairie Pipelines Limited, a Saskatchewan-based firm. Trans-Prairie so far has laid one arm of a .system which will collect oil and deliver it to the refineries and a terminus of the government-owned Pacific Great Eastern railway at Dawson Creek. There it is building three :)(>,()()<) barrel tanks to store crude he-fore it is transferred to railway lank cars for the 700-mile trip to Vancouver.
