Scott Paper Company announced plans to spend $70 million for expansion of its Everett pulp and paper plant. James Lienesch, vice president and general manager in Everett, said the project would involve construction of an advanced paper products machine and plant expansion to house the machine.
General Telephone Company planned to spend $1.3 billion in its five-state Northwest area for new construction programs in the coming five years. President Al Barran said the new program was a response to accelerated growth in the Northwest and would involve $341 million more than the previous construction plan.
