The Ausable-Bayfield Conservation
Authority has received final approval and a
grant of $5,700 from the province for
establishment of a park on the Bayfield
River, east of Highway 4 at the Clinton
town limits.
The approval was announced by Leo Ber-
nier, minister of natural resources and
Huron MPP, Charlie MacNaughton.
The Authority had purchased 12 acres
from Maynard Carrie last August and a
SWEEP crew spent a couple of weeks in the
new park cleaning it up for seeding next
spring.
The 12 acres is the beginning of a scheme
by the Ausable-Bayfield Authority to have a
river valley parkland system stretching from
Highway 4 to Adastral Park Road.
The park will be for day use only and will
include picnic areas, fishing areas and
swimming holes. It will also serve to
eliminate potential problems of flood plain
construction and filling as urban develop-
ment progresses in the area.
No plans have been announced to acquire
the rest of the land in the valley, but it was
learned by the News-Record that some of
the owners are holding out for stiff prices.
If you don't pay your municipal taxes this
year, you may miss out on getting up to $250
taken off of your 1972 income tax.
It's part of the Ontario provincial govern-
ment's new Property Credit Tax Plan and
tax payers, tenants and boarders are eligible
to get up to $250 either refunded from the
Federal government or subtracted from the
income tax they owe for this year.
The new scheme replaces the old Residen-

The calculations for the credit plan will
be done on a special form that will come
with your 1972 income tax form. The
