TL Willlams, pl ’ piece | of City Hail Hap Minister of Lands and Forests, and to the local newspapers, was awaiting me on my return from vacation.” a “T feet quite strongly that I should-be the person ta reply to your letler because It not only fails to recognize a press release Issued by the Company and published in the local’ newspapers on April ard of this year, but chiefly because it takes issue with statements | have made to Mr. Williams, some Terrace Council mem- bers, and publicly to a meeting of the Terrace, Chamber - of Commerce on May 4th, 1974, which was also allended by Mr. Gross, other corporate officers and the,news media.” . “The news release stated that approximately $1,500,000, would be. spent ‘at this operation to recover, as useable chips or lumber, fibrenow being burned, and thus to reduce pollution from the operation. It also stated thal work was expected ta be completed in 1974. Work has progressed reasonably well, although late deliveries, chiefly of electrical components, has causedsome delays.
