Canadian Power Report Drawn For Fayette Governor
Governor Philip H Hoff will receive a report on a Vermont investigation into low cost Canadian electrical power. Frederick J Fayette said he studied the Columbia River Basin project and is reasonably assured that Vermont and New England can use Canadian power within five years. The plan envisions a non profit to handle at least two million kilowatts from the Churchill Falls project in Labrador.
