An

could
be

said
Thursday
following
an
Informal
discussion
with
members
of
the
legislature.
The
meeting,
arranged
by
Frank
Calder
tCCF-Atlin)
who
has
long
called
for
such
a
ser
vice,
discussed
a
brief
presented
to
the
government
18
months
ago.
The
two
men
estimated
the
service
would
require
five
air
craft.
They
estimated
it
would
cost
about
$200,000
a
year
to
op
erate
the
service.
Of
this,
around
$85,000
would
be
recoverable
in
revenues.
The
planes,
plus
a
helidopter
which
they
suggested
would
be
necessary,
would
be
necessary,
would
possibly
be
based
in
five
centres
Vancouver,
Prince

Prince
George,
Ocean
Falls
and
Kamloops.

He
explained
that
the
policy
was
to
be
entirely
frank
with
applicants
and
to
point
out
difficulties
that
will
be
encountered
before
the
townsite
project
is
completed.
The
first
group
of
workers
will
move
to
Kitimat
in
time
for
commencement
of
operations
by
the
first
potline
in
midsummer,
and
the
second
group
will
follow
when
the
next
potline
is
ready
to
start
two
months
later.
Applicants
to
be
taken
on
will
be
so
advised
by
the
end
of
March.
