‘Three Rivers
workshop facing

financial

Vern Kimball

The Three Rivers Workshop
in Terrace, which was started in
a blaze of optimism some lwo
years ago, has been all but
grounded by a critical financial
problem. - i
- Since May of this year the
Workshop has been operating
with no input’ of government
mioniesother than a small grant

crisis
The reason the Department of
Human Resources have
for ‘preventing the Workshop
from obtaining their LIP grant
is that a new policy has been
set. The provincial government

| willnol take over funding of LIP

projects once those projects

a have expired.

But as well asa policy, there
isaprecedent. A Kitimat group
was allowed to maintain their
provincial government funding
and oblain an LIP grant. To

‘date the ‘Three’ Rivers
Workshop has, not..

At. presenL there is 10
asstrance whatsoever of
financing other than the grant
which has been awarded and is
available, But to take that may

provide only stop gap help and,. -
eventually close the doors ofthe
workshop if provincial financial .

assistance-is withdrawn.
There is a certain irony in the
decision from the Department
of Human Resources. «-The

Stumpage rates

cut in half

Interior forest operations will
have to pay only minimum
stumpage rates this winter, and
independent coas! operators
will see their slumpage rates
cut in half,

This announcement, made by
Resources Minister Bob

_ Williams in Kamloops today, is

one of a series of measures
laken by lhe Provincial
Government to help the
sawmilling industry through its
current difficulties. ;
Interior stumpage appraised
or re-appraised from this date
forward will be s2t at the
minimum rate allowed by.

slatute -$1,10 per hundred cubic

fect of timber, This reduction

will be back-daled ta November .

1, 1974, and will continue until
the end of March, 1975.
Stumnpage is the price paid for
the raw material of the forest
industry - the purchase price of
the standing lrees.

While pulp producers in the

Province have enjoyed high ©

profits * recently,’ the non-
integrated lumber producers
have suffered heavily from the
continuing decline in lumber
markets, This has resulted in
severe: unemployment, par-

\

Williams. ‘The (otal benefit
will go lo the sawmills, and of
course lo-the people they em-
ploy.” : :

For the Coast, Williams said
that stumpage rates for in-
dependent (non-integrated)
firms would be reduced to 10
percent of log sale values In the
Vancouver Forest District, and
percent of log selling prices on
the northern coast.

On the average, this will be a
reduction to about half the

esent rates. Thenew rates
will be in effect through the
November to the April ad-
justment dates.

Other measures include a
temporary suspension of
penaily charges for usable wood
left on the ground after logging,
except in cases of flagrant
waste. However, wastes will
continue to be measured lo

‘makesure that: the annual

allowable cul is not exceeded in
any area.

In recent weeks Williams has
also increased cost allowances
in stumpage appraisals, and
made the stumpage charges
more responsive lo current
market prices.

“These measures cannot
