‘Organizers of a local com-

mittee attempting to bring the 1988 Winter Olympic Games to the west coast of British Columbia - said Wednesday they are en- couraged by the latest developments.

Premier Bill Bennett has tentatively thrown his support behind the bid and the committee, said chairman Bob Hindmarch, now will make a formal application to the Social Credit cabinet for financial support.

‘The premier said Wed- nesday that he welcomed the bid and the cabinet soon will study detaila of the: Van- couver proposal.

Vancouver city council

agreed Tuesday night to-..

support the bid to the tune of $37,000 and Hindmarch said the provincial government will be asked to match the amount, “We are confident that the

‘Winter Games can be staged

in this area in 1888 for about $70 million; said Hind- march, a University of B.C. professor. “The $70 million figure is a realistic one at this moment and js based on allowances for cost in- creases in future years."

+ Hindmarch said the com-.

initteerwagn't concerned that Lake Placid, N.Y., site of the 1980 Winter Games, is facing a cost of $10 milllon, -or about ei six times the original es

"Lake Placid has hada lot of problems’ which we wouldn't face,"’ he said. “They've had to build pret ty well everything from scrat there, while we already have many of the necessary facilities,”

He sald only four major facilities — a speed-akating oval, luge and bobsled runa and a ski jump drea — are needed in the Vancouver area for a Winter Olympica competition.

Hindmarch said that housing would not be a big problem like it is at Lake Placid because about half of the 1,800 competitors and officials could be housed in

‘the city area with the rest

located in the Whistler Mountain area northwest of Vancouver.

The committee hopea to gain provincial government approval soon so that its presentation to the Canadian

‘Olympic Association can be

ready by mid-August.

*Alidiaarch said the local committee is confident the’ Winter Olympics can be staged without incurring a finahelal loss. He pointed to the. 1978 Commonwealth Games in Edmonton which showed ‘a profit of about $400,000, |

“The Commonwealth Games was a slighty larger competition than the Winter Olympics, ‘but still - was profitable,” he sald. “We think we can. be. just. a5 successful “as Edmonton.”

He said the ideal time to stage the Winter Olympics

-bere would be. to begin- about

Feb, 19 because a survey of weather conditions over the last 40 years showed- that

af the year were favorable for Winter Games com- patitions. ”
