Aerial Survey Ties Calgary Firm to City’s Plant Project
A Calgary aerial survey firm is hired by backers of a nitro chemical development to map the selected site and pipeline lines. Negotiations begin for a contour air map of the city and district to Redcliff while plant work for New British Dominion Oil Co and Commercial Solvents progresses. Municipal leaders plan a broader industrial area north of the city, with a Edmonton trip by City Controller A. T. Legge and Acting Finance Chairman Ed Mc Combs. Five sections are coveted for a 22 million dollar program, with allied interests possibly adding plants and a future oil refinery.
