NEW DAM ID BE
 ERECTED SOON
West Kootenay Power Co. to
 Develop River Water

Victoria. B. C.. Oct. (P-The West Kootenay Power and Light Company will harness the hydro electrical powers of the Pend Oreille river with a dam nearly 400 fee. high, the greatest of its kind in Canada, it was learned today.
 The last known obstacle in the way of the gigantic development was removed this week when the Reeves Mcdonald Mining Company withdrew it's application for power rights on the Pend Oreille.
 The mining company is applying instead for power rights on the Sal mon river, tributary of the Pend Oreille, at a point where its work will not conflict with that of the West kootenay Company.
 The West kootenay Company's dam will stand near the point where the Pend Oreille empties into the Columbia, It will impound the en- tire flow of the Pend Oreille back to the international boundary, but will not affect the stream in United States territory.

 Two neighbors objected on the ground that a golf course would at tract crowds by day and night and a noisy condition would follow. Mrs. Reale retorted that she might erect a five tenement block there and all low large families to live in it. She wondered how her neighbors would like the noise of children.
 Judge Gaffney was interested to learn how much noise miniature golf courses caused and MT. Att wood, who moved to reject the pe- tition, said the judge would not care to live next to one. T know I wouldn't" MT. Atwood said. MT. Kimball did not vote. his observa- tion being that he would 'holler" if he had property and could only use 100 feet of 134.
 Welding Company Wins Appeal
 George Preston of the New Brit ain Welding Co. was victorious in his fight to obtain a certificate of occupancy of his factory at 132 Glen street, but the board members ex- pressed sympathy for nearby resi- dents who turned out to oppose the application which was in the nature of an appeal from the refusal of the building inspector to grant the cer- tificate.
 Bernard J. Lappan of 125 Glen street, Bertha Ramage, Augustine Musante, Mr. Restelli, G. E. Meyers, and Frank Terranova, who live near the welding plant called it a nui- sance because of the noise of the gasoline engines and the flashing glare of the arc welding apparatus. The glare makes it impossible for some of the neighbors to use the front rooms of their homes unless they lower the shades. and the health of others has been affected by the noise, according to the argu- ments presented.
 Preston, who was represented by Attorney John F. Downes, said he has lost business since moving his plant to Booth street and he promis- ed to make every effort to eliminate noise if he could again operate on Glen street. He formerly workd late at night and on Sundays but on ad- vice of the police he discontinued Sunday operations and closed his place at p. m. on other nights, he said.
 Building Inspector Rutherford said he acted on the advice of Cor poration Counsel J. H. Kirkham in ordering Preston to vacate the plant. Numerous complaints to the building department prompted him to lay the entire matter before the corporation counsel, he said.
 Must Observe Law, Kimball Says
 Mr Kimball remarked that there was no question of the undesirabil- idential neighborhood. "It's a pest all right" he said My sympathy is with the remonstrants. but under the law this board can do nothing but reverse the building inspector by ordering that certificate of occu- pancy be issued. If the operation of the plant is a nuisance, the police and health departments can act and I believe they will act quickly" He pointed out that inasmuch as the building in question was used for manufacturing purposes by knit ting company prior to the adoption of the zoning ordinance, it could continue to be used as a manufac- turing plant under the law, and the other members agreed, Judge Gaff- ney adding that the remonstrants had ample remedy at law as,regards the elimination of the alleged nui- SanCe.

The character of the rock is ex-
tremely porous and light in weight
tat the same time being remarkably

There is ample material in the
