assurance � ance there will be no in increase � crease in electricity bills when power from Bridge River supplants the gas diesel plant here In response to a Citizen en enquiry � quiry Hydro information officer E E Fox states Power supplied from the Bridge River plant will give Prince George power as cheap cheaply � ly as from the present gas dicsel operation Construction of the power line from the companys Bridge River plant 255 miles south of here started in the spring It will supply 130000 kilowatts considered adequate for the citys future needs according to Hydro spokesmen Cleat ing of a right-of-way for the transmission line is still underway A clearing crew is working south of Williams Lake and there is a field crew of 35 doing survey work in the Bridge River area It is expected that growth of industry in the Prince George area will require a sub substantial � stantial increase in the amount of power available said Mr Fox and power from the Bridge River operation can be supplied more economically than power from thermal plants Shortly after the federal gov ernment announced its austcr- ity program last July the Hydro Authority said it would suspend construction of the line However Victoria later back backtracked � tracked andvdecided to continue with the 15000000 line No completion date has been set but the authority has indi indicated � cated it will be ready to supply power for the announced BC Forest Products pulp milt scheduled to be started here next year for production in 1965 The prime factor governing the construction schedule of this line is the schedule of power requirements in the areas to be served by the line said Mr Fox Current high cost of borrow borrowing � ing money for projects like this may make it prudent to post postpone � pone the completion dates How However � ever the line will be completed in time to meet the demands of the new pulp mill for power NEGLIGENCE CASE -OFF TO SEPT 12 Alex Ross 35 was remand
