Col.
Robertson,
who
was
formerly
with
the
Royal
Canadian
Engineers,
has
impressed
local
business
men
with
the
thoroughness
and
evident
interest
with
which
he
has
gone
into
the
local
situation.
He
made
it
clear
that
he
was
not
in
a
position
to
make
any
committments
on
behalf
of
the
government
but
was
here
to
cbtain
all
practical
data
and
in
formation
upon
which
the

concerned
could
establish
a
policy.
Local
opinion

action
will
be
taken
to
establish
a
Eovernment-owned

in
Terrace
which
will
serve
the
town
and
adjacent
areas.
It
is
believed
that
the
initial
installation
will
be
a
diesel-power
unit
and
that
hydro-electric
development
may
follow
later
as
the

warrants.
