Little Hope Of
Removing Ripple
In Narrows
—
SEATTLE, Oct. 9. i/P) — The
Hon. Alphonse Fournier of Otta-1
wa, Canadian minister of public
works, said yesterday there is lit-1
tie immediate hope of removing
Ripple Rock from its present men
acing position in the path of Alas
ka shipping through Seymour
Narrows.
He stressed, however, that en
gineering surveys are continuing
in an effort to develop plans for
opening a deeper and wider chan
nel.
Already a million dollars have
been spent trying to blast away
the huge rock which has taken a
heavy toll of ships and men in
| British Columbia waters, said the
minister who was accompanied on
his visit by Mrs. Fournier and
Stanley S. McKeen, Vancouver,
president of the Pacific North
west Trade Association.
'About 75 per cent of the charg
I es exploded but the debris merely
fell back in the water and has
been impossible to remove,” he
said.
“Our greatest difficulty now is
that we canot get any firm to
make a contract at a fixed price,”
Fournier said, “nor can we get a
satisfactory estimate of the cost.”
Yesterday’s visit to Seatle was
the first for the Canadian minis
ter and also the fourth anniver
1 sary of his appointment to the
i post of minister of public works.
