Notes
Discussion of the Clague Mountain access road appears in the Northern Sentinel on June 4th. The section on it has the caption "Road Work Starts" One mile of tote road has been cut through from the Mountain, Warren Nesbit, said today.
Work started Monday, Mr Nesbit stated, and volunteer crews have found conditions good for the preliminary work on the road which is planned to provide access to the ski slopes at the 1700 foot level on the mountain.
"It has been mostly cat work all the way so far" Mr Nesbit said. He is the chairman of the civic affair committee of the Chamber of Commerce, sponsor of the project.
Committee member Arv Sestrap has been in two or three times in a jeep. Mr Nesbit said. He added that the volunteers are attempting to get the road in shape so that trucks can haul gravel for the roadbed proper in the next few days.
George Irwin, president of the Kitimat Ski and Alpine Club is in charge of arranging crews for slashing and clearing the right of way. When the road has been built constructions of a ski-tow will be considered. Both will make the area an ideal recreation ground for Kitimat in summer and winter. All work on the project is voluntary.
