The Editor The Tribune, | Williams Lake, B.C. | Dear Sir—Having read your edi- torial in the last issue of The Tribune concerning the power interruption in Williams Lake on August 13th. I feel that I must write a reply in order that your readers may clearly | understand the situation from the | point of view of the local representa- |tive of the BC. Power Commission | and thereby be in a better position to | make their own conclusions. As most of your readers are no doubt aware, the Power Commission |Js installing-a new diesel engine and generator in the power house to sup- ply the rapidly increasing require- ments of their customers. This in- stallation requires extensive addi- tions and alterations that could not be forseen when the power house was designed originally. One of the big- gest problems confronting the con- struction crew this year was the moy- ing of all existing switchboards to make room for the new engine. Un- fortunately work of this description can only be carried out when the | power is off. It was estimated that | this job would only take about six hours and that the best time for an interruption of this duration would be from 12 midnight to 6 a.m. Because the electrician for the construction department who carries out all the electrical work for new installation in Power Commission diesel plants throughout the province could only be in Williams Lake for a few days, the power interruption had to be arranged on rather short |notice. For this reason, the only method of advertising available was ly personal contact and posters. Ar- | rangements were made with the tele- |phone office to call the volunteer firemen in the event of a fire. The Village was notified in advance so that there would be an amply supply of water on hand. The hospital was j#lso informed and and although no emergency lighting plant could be | obtained locally, arrangements were = to transfer the portable light- | | ing plant from the power house to the hospital if an emergency should arise. I believe that for an interrup- tion scheduled! for early in the morn- ing, adequate arrangements were made ahead of time with the people who would he affected most. } Unfortunately the whole matter | was complicated by the fact that the Vancouver, A:M.F., B.C. Aug. 24, 1954, The Editor, Williams Lake Tribune, Williams Lake, B.C. Dear Sir: Under -the date 15th July an editorial was published in the Williams Lake Tribune which we feel dealt rather harshly with Pa- cific Western Airlines Ltd: in con- nection with the application of Chil- cotin Airways for Group C Class 4 Charter authority from a base at Williams Lake. For your information Pacific | Western Airlines Ltd. (formerly | Central British Columbia Airways Ltd.) has been serving the province of British Columbia for over 8 years and the writer has been engaged in providing air service to the province through other companies for over twenty years. It is, therefore, ot grave concern to PWA and the writ- er when we are criticized and par- | Ucularly when we feel there is no real justification for such criticism. Our application a few years ago to provide Williams Lake with a regular air seryice was instrumental in CPA deciding to institute a sched- juled air service. We have actually |many times gone out of or way to | serve the Cariboo- country and cer- | tainly, in the past, our services have all too often cost us money. In ad- dition, we have on numerous occa- jSions transported the sick and in Jured, on more than one occasion at no cost to the people concerned. We have not turned down any work of- fered and with 3 aircraft based at Kamloops, Pacific Western stands ready and willing to serve the pub- | lic to the best of our abilitys | Chileotin Airways should receive their Air Transport Board Licence very soon. There will be no Publie Hearing on this application largely due to the fact that some time ago. we withdew our intervention to the application. This means that Pacific Western is not opposing the Chil- cotin application, We hope the new service which your paper is looking forward to Proves to be economically feasible and satisfactory to all concerned. In the meantime, in the light of the foregoing we would be grateful if you could see your way clear to revise the views published editorial- ly last 15th July. Yours vory truly, Pacific Western Airways Ltd., Russel Baker, Vice-Pres. and General Manager. Better Service Better Quality Better Value always at...

The Power Commission certainly realizes the important part electri- city plays in the everyday life of Wil- liams Lake, but I believe that if your readers understand some of the prob- lems which sometimes face the local employees of the Power Commission in trying to maintain uninterrupted service, they will be more under- standing when power interruptions which are arranged to permit the in- stallation of new generating equip- ment becomes unavoidable. de Yours truly, W.
