		For the Pass producers the local market was small: a few hundred households, stores and hotels, a handful of lime kilns, a few dozen industrial boilers for powering steam engines and turbines for generating electricity, the CPR on the occasions when its own mines couldn’t meet its expanding needs.
		There were around 6,000 people in the eastern Crowsnest Pass on June 21st, 1978, when a plebiscite was held which determined that 67% of those who voted wished to eliminate duplication of services and expenditures by amalgamating the settlements of the Pass into one community.
		Unfortunately for the east Pass, the coal reserves in the region of the west Pass around Sparwood and Elkford had attracted major investment in the 1960s and ‘70s, and being on the Pacific side of the Great Divide, coal mined there could be delivered to the markets in Japan at less cost.
