LOCAL RESIDENTS
CARRY ON- FIGHT TO
SAVE THE MAITLAND.
'ruse Save the Maitland Assoo-
iation, with Jim Valiance preai;
dint and Jack Bryans, vice presi--
derfia ,aontinue a vigorous cant-
Daign in their efforts to stop the
Pollution. of 0r once beautiful'
Maitland River Mid •restore it 'to
its former state. They are gain-
ing support and assistance from
concerned people and experts. in,
the .0elsi of pollution,
13tya.ns received a letter'
from Douglas Lash of the Canad-
ian EnViromental Law Research
roundatfon; stating he would be
pleased id be of any assistance
and would make enquirieS from
the OWRC,
Dr. T. W. Hoffmann, Chairman
of the Chemical Engineering
departinent of McMaster ITniver-
sfty,, Hamilton, a recognized an,
thority in his field, and Canadian!
Representative on tire Internat-
ioual Energy' Board, said in an
interview with OKNX, that he is
gellerally disatisfied with reports
from the OWR Commission,
regarding 'the Maitland River. Dr.
Hoffman said that he felt that
the river does not have sufficient
flow to handle the effluentS from
Listowel, It would take, in his
Opinion, the very best treatment
facilities to control the sewage.
A brief on behalf of the "Save
the Maitland" Association to mid,
Western Ont. DeyelgpMent Coon-
cal brought to their attention the
following facts:
1. That the pollution of the
Maitland River has 'reached a
stage where it is both intolerable
and dangerous.
2. That the pollution arises
from tw'e causes:
(a) The inadequacy of the
sewage lagoon in the List-
owel area..
(Ti) The amount of untreated
waste dumped directly into
the Middle'Maitland by the
town of Listowel.
and said it is our considered
opinion
1. That no consmeration be given
by your organization to en-
courage or :promote any
further development in that
area until this disastrous sa-
tiation is rectified..
2. That since the objective of
yetr organizatiOn is to pro-
Mote development that a let-
ter of protest to the proper
authorities by you would be
Most helpful.
This oganization said they
would comment on the abocre it
ten days to two weeks:
The Association recently pre-
sented a brief to Energy and
Resources Minister George Kerr
