From the premier’s words one would infer’ that the decision to act had been reached. ‘There has also heen reference, however, to a two-year period after surveys before final commitment, at some. time in 1959.

One was the Frobisher-Ven- tures scheme, and the other the Alcoa plan; both con- templating the putative outlay in hydro-electric de- velopment in northern B.C- territory. Neither, how- ever, eventuated in fact. Against that background, the Wenner-Gren project will be watched with con- siderable interest. The cost of the initial projects has been stated as between four and six hundred mil- Hon dollars. “That would be an impressive outlay for any industrial enterprise to undertake. .
