ably amount to between $10,000
and $15,000. -

The outages began about 11

line this summer, but added,
“There’s no way we can build a
line to withstand those kinds of
conditions. We're still hopeful
that the maintenance done will
prevent the worst features of last
winter. If not, we have to re-
think things up there.’’ '
Before the line went in to Kin-
colith, the community had diesel
generators for electricity. The

Staveley says they are in need of
extensive repair.

‘The new line to Stewart held
up well, with an outage of one to
two hours during the storm.
Staveley said he believes there is
a fault somewhere in the system,
possibly at the Westmin, mine
end of the line. ‘“We had balls of
fire reported,’” he said.
