Of the taillions of horsepower available in our
province, but half a million are now harnessed to turn

the wheels ofindustry. The great hydro-electric develop- ~

ment at Bridge River will ultimately generate more than

600,000 horsepower; while the output dt: Bonnington |

Falls and other. points is being steadily increased. The
Campbell and Chilko Rivers, on the mainland, -and
the Nimpkish on Vancouver Island, are capable of
tremendous power development for the conversion of
our forest and mineral resources. into fabulous wealth..

Two of British Columbia's Electric Power systems
are among the greatest in Canada, each generating
more than 400,000,000 kilowatt hours in 1927.: This
represents an increase in the last ten. years of 98% eae
truly a remarkable achievement!

Foreign authorities speak of this record’ as a measure
of the reat vitality of British Columbia.

_ Today werank third in power and industrial develop-
ment among Canadian provinces, We, have made greater
progress per capita than any!

It is the policy ‘of British Columbia to foster the.

development of the hydro-electric powers for the benefit
of the public. They are ‘allotted to private enterprises

on condition that they will be developed within a certain:

time, so that no exploitation of public asseta may take
place.

Millions of dollars.are now earmarked for Power
development.in our. province. Dams are being built,
