A field report notes the Peace development’s potential water capacity through three fifty foot concrete lined tunnels and warns the contract could be irreversible once awarded. Observers recount traffic to the bridge site, provincial plates, and a political push for Dominion Government cooperation on Columbia development. The day ends with a Legion Hall banquet and a cash price pitch for local merchants.
