Dear Mr. O'Neill:

I am in receipt of your letter dated April 13, 1971, in reply
to my letter addressed to Mr. E. Williams, dated February 25, 1971, concern-
ing the British Columbia Centennial '71 Caravan.

The Centennial '7]1 Caravan consists of three specially constructed
tractor/trailer units each 73 feet long, 12.5 feet high, and 10 feet wide.
These units, because of the animated and electronic equipment in the displays
and the small diameter of the trailer wheels, are limited to travel on paved
highways at a speed not exceeding approximately 40 miles per hour.

The Caravan's closest highway point to you will be Fort St. John
on 17 June. To attempt the approximately 1300 mile round trip from Fort St.
John to Cassiar, over gravel highways is prohibitive in both time and the
great possibility of damage to the trailers and contents. For your information,
other communities located on gravel highways have been excluded from the Caravan
tour.

Your suggestion that the Caravan be sent in "limited form" is also
not possible, as the three units mst be joined together to form the story.

I appreciate your desire to have this display visit your commnity,
but in the interest of time and Caravan safety, I regret that Cassiar cannot
be programmed into the itinerary.

Yours very truly,
Ly ————
