Kaiser and Gilpin Mannix Drake submitted a bid of 16 862 523 for a new contract. The amount is about ten million dollars less than original estimates. Government handling of Union labor and the rock formation in the pilot tunnel reduced bid uncertainties. Equipment will roll in as roads firm up.
Vic Nesbitt, president of the Chetwynd Chamber of Commerce, outlines steps to secure government support for a road from Chetwynd to a construction site.

The project would connect Peace Power and northern Peace River with the region.

Unconfirmed talk suggests the proposed P.G.E. branch to Windy Creek may be abandoned in favor of road access. The discussion reflects cost-cutting efforts affecting the Windy Creek spur line to the Power construction site.
