Eleven Percent Increase

In Number Of

B.C. Power Commission's
statistics for 1957 show con-
tinued progress in the Williams
Lake area. During the yéar,
the number of electricity cus-
tomers seryed increased from
1,012 to 1,125—an 11 per cent
increase.

The new customers
include 69 new homes and
business established in the
district during 1957, plus 14

rural customers who have re-
ceived electrical service for the
first time as a result of the
commission’s rural extension
program. In all, 9.0 miles of
new circuits were built.

Power use increased 3.4 per
cent during the year, bringing
the output for 1957 to 934,400
kwh, That increase was caused
in part by the addition of 45
new electric ranges and 31 new
electric water heaters, together |
with a number of other elec-!
trical appliances.

Major new power loads
clude the new Pinette
Therrien sawmill, which

P.G.E. May Lay is Annoyed At Centennial Oversight

Tracks On Snow

FORT ST. JOHN—Stockpiles
of sulphur now accumulating at
the “west coast refinery of the
Jeerson Lake Sulphur Co., may
be speeded to market by laying
the last 100 miles of the P.G.B.
Railway on top of the snow, as
an emergency measure.

Engineers claim a temporary
service could thus be provided
and permanent construction of
the line could be completed after
the spring break-up.

Steel is reported to be already
in place for the Peace River
bridge crossing.

Tips On Saving
Home Fuel Bill ©

By following a few simple
suggestions, home-owners can
save 15 to 30 per cent on fuel
bills, the Fuel Oil Dealers’
Association says,

At this time of year,
recommend :—

Close doors promptly to keep
all heat inside. Keep temper-
atures moderate enough so even
windows won't have to he
opened.

Lower thermostat at night
(setting it back 10 degrees for
eight hours will save 10 per cent
or more). Remove rugs and
furniture from places. where
they block radiators or registers.

Check and repair leaky hot
water faucets. A leak of only
only drop per second means a
loss of 700 galons a year. Clean
soot out of boiler. A mere 1%
inch spot deposit increases oil
consumption as much as 10 per
cent.

Since 1939, the proportion of
working Canadians employed in
manufacturing has increased

annoyed at the centennial com-
mittee’s oversight in failing to

put them on the publicity map.
Feeling that the village is
“one of the key points in the
early history of B.C.” the
Lillooet Village Council Tuesday
night passed a resolution that
the B.C. Centennial Committee
in Victoria be instructed about
the “ grave oversight.”
Councillors received. a copy

Record and saw that on a map

At the birth of the province

1858, Lillooet boasted a
tough, rough population of 2,000
mostly gold panners, who spent
their money in 13 saloons and
26 other licensed liquor outlets.
The Cariboo Trail was begun
here and the first church was
opened on Christmas Day, 1860.

Said one village councillor:
“Somebody sure goofed on that
