The Aux Sable Conservation
Authority today approved a $60,000
improvement pcherne for the mouth
of the Aux Sable at Port Franks,
and appointed a committee to seek
Government assistance in carrying
it out.
At a meeting in the town hall at
Parkhill, 13 members of the au
thority representing the municipa
lities in the watershed accepted .a
report by s* W. Archibald, O. L. S.,
outlining a scheme to protect valu
able summer resort property at
Port Franks.
The scheme in brief calls for
dredging the mouth of the river at
that point, and diverting its chan
nel away from the .summer cot
tages, some of which have either
been seriously damaged or complet
ely destroyed in spring floods along
the Aux Sauble.
Many Complained
This will be the first scheme to
fee carried out under the direction
of the recently-appointed authority.
During a summer tour of the water
shed, .where a Government survey
was in progress, its members re
ceived a barrage of complaints
from residents of the resort, sever
al of them from the United States.
Improvement of the river mouth
is regarded generally as the most
pressing job in the watershed. Oth
ers will be undertaken further up
stream in the future.
Committee
Appointed to interview officials
of the Ontario Department of Plan
ning and Developement with a view
to obtaining provincial aid in car
rying out the scheme were: W. A.
Sutherland, Middlesex County clerk
and chairman of the authority;
John E, McPhee, of West Williams
Township (Middlesex.); Roy Ratz,
of Stephen Township (Huron);
Freeman Hodgins, of McGillivray
Township (Middlesex); Victor Ful
ler, of Bosanquet Township (Lamb
ton); and Oliver Amos, secretary of
tho authority.
While it is not known to what
extent either the Provincial or Fed
eral Goveihiment will be willing to
help in financing the project, pre
vious grants (such as on the Grand
River) have amounted to 75 per
cent of the cost, divided equally be
tween the' two, with the benefiting
municipalities financing the bal
ance.
Representation to the Dominion
Government, it is expected, will be
made by the Planning and Develop-
3ment Department.
