The
Neiv
Industry
THE
GREAT
cellulose
mill
project
for
Prince
Rupert
is
moving
along
according
to
schedule.
Heads
and
experts
of
the
Celanese
Corporation
.'of
America
are
here
to
fit
the
designing
and
plans
;
into
the
site
at
Port
Edward
so
that
the
final
ar
i
rangements
for
the
starting
of
construction
may
be
executed
without
delay.
That
the
actual
construction
will
start
within
two
months
time
is
the
gratifying
announcement
that
is
now
made.
It
is
all
very
cheering
and
adds
to
the
optimism
and
enthusiasm
that
was
inspired
lbcally
when
the
original
announcement
of
the
project
was
made
some
two
months
ago.
Thxise
who
interviewed
Mr.
Schneider
and
his
associates
following
their
arrival
in
the
city
yes
terday
afternoon
found
them
quite
as
enthusiastic
and
keen
as
are
the
people
of
Prince
Rupert
themselves.
Those
who.
had
the
opportunity
of
following
5
their
activities
today
saw
that
they
mean
business
arid
are
losing
no
time
about
it.
Each
expert
with
;
-the
party
has
his
particular
job
to
do,
all,
of
which

development
about
which
the
whole
country
is
stalking.
But
while
Prince
Rupert
may
well
feel
happy
.
over
it
all,
there
are
certain
obligations
too
that
we
must
assume.
First
and
foremost,
it
is
of
the
utmost
importance
that
Prince
Rupert
should
have
the
best
of
connections
with
the
mill
site
if
the
city
is
to
enjoy
the
full
advantage
of
having
it
located
nearby.
That
brings
up
the
question
of
highway
and
the
celanese
company
officials
are
not
backward
in
saying
that
the
existing
road
is
certainly
not
good
enough
and
nothing
short
.of
a
well-engineered
and
routed
hard-surfaced
highway
will
donot
only
without
but
within
the
city
iimits,
So
there
is
something
to
work
upon.
Assurance
has
evidently
been
received,
according
to
company
officials
themselves,
that
the
province
is
prepared
to
do
its
part,
The
city
will
have
also
to
give
immediate
attention
tq.its
section.
The
advent
of
the
new
permanent
industry
also
f
ocusses
attention
upon
the
necessity
of
adequate
housing,
educational
and
hospital
facilities.
These
are
matters
that
Prince
Rupert;
itself
will
have
to
look
;;fter.
We
have
long
hoped
for
the
entry
of
industry
on
a
large
scale.
Now
it
has
come.
We
will
have
to
meet
it
and
that
without
delay.
