 Retread plant

An industrial idea that’s been
around for more than two years
might provide a few jobs and take

Terrace up one step on the ladder

in the climb to becoming a

regional centre. It could also mean

an end to a part of the used tire
Storage problem created by the
proscription on dumping them at
the local landfill.

In January, 1989, Roy Saunders
Hauling Lid. applied to have prop-
erty they owned cast of Pacific
Northern Gas rezoned from light to
heavy industrial. The plan at that
time was to build an 8,000 square
foot retail truck parts and acces-

sory outlet, a shop for maintaining

16 logging trucks, and a 12,000
square foot tire retreading plant.
That summer, River Industries

announced they would be moving
into new quarters at the site being
built by Saunders. There was no
word, however, about the truck
maintenance shop or the retread
plant. It seemed, in fact, they had
been forgotten.

Not so, says Contract Tire
spokesman Blaine MacKenzie.
They are currently operating their
own truck between Terrace and
Vancouver where they retread
pickup and industrial tires, and
when the demand in the Northwest
warrants it, they will be putting in
a retread plant here.

Just when that might be is im-.

possible to say. According to Mac-
Kenzie, when the cost of transpor-
tation per tire exceeds the cost per
tire here, it will be time. It won't

awaits demand

be located on Saunders’ property,
though. According to MacKenzie
Contract has plenty of room where
they are,

A Contract Tire retread plant in
Terrace won’t solve the problem of
car tires, however, because the
company is in the truck tire busi-
ness. MacKenzie says they're not
economical to retread because the
end result is a tire that costs nearly
as much as a new tire does.

The fact that Contract Tire has
decided not to relocate to the
Saunders property doesn’t bother
company manager Glen Saunders.
He says that his company has
decided against any industrial
development there because of its
proximity to the Skeena River and
Ferry Island.
