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.
