The Authority is made up of representatives of 29 munici- palities which are either wholly or in part in the area drained by the Maitland River. The thousand -square -mile region extends from Arthur Township in the cast to Goderich at the mouth and from Seaforth in the south to Harriston in the north. The Maitland Authority was expanded from the Middle Maitland Conservation Author- ity three years ago, which took in only one branch of the river, to cover the whole watershed. In the interval, the organi- zation has been active in a number of locations, Several hundred acres have been pur- chased for the purpose of re- forestation, which is done under management agreements with the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests.

The rneeting was closed with prayer by Rev. F. W. Taylor. prominence has beep the estab- lishment of a farm pond subsidy program available to all farm- ers in the watershed. Existing conservation areas taken over from the old•Mid- dle Maitland Authority have been improved and are now be- ginning to show the effect of a number of years of organized effort. New conservation areas at Gorrie, Bluevale and Harriston have been acquired and are be- ing developed. Itt the latter case, a park is being construct- ed with the costs being shared by the Town of Harriston and the Township of Minto. A cost sharing scheme was also organ- ized to improve the retaining wall along the river in the Town of Listowel as a flood con- trol project. On this year's agenda will be a discussion regarding the ac- quisition of a 230 -acre site near Bcnmiller, known as the Falls Reserve. This property has been op- tioned by the Authority and if purchased it will be used as a multiple purpose conservation area. It is, perhaps, one of a very few areas in the watershed falling into this category. It could, over a period of years, be developed into a show -piece of conservation. The Authority has been hav- ing growing pains since it was organized. This past year a full-time working superintend- ent was hired, which meant that vehicles and tools had to be provided. Then, rather un- expectedly, the Authority was provided with the services of a full-time resident field officer, by the Department of Lands and Forests, It then became neces- sary to pro•.ide office space and furnishings, which have been located in Listowel. As a result, a considerable portion of the past year's bud- get has been required for capi- tal outlay for equipment, which of course, will he in use•for a long time. The Authority has been fac- ed with a problem of setting out a firm policy of action, as detailed reports being compiled by experts wor<<ing for the Con- servation Branch are not yet available for study, These re- ports will eventually cover such aspects of conservation as forest cover, and areas that will lend themselves to reforestation, a study of the water resources of the valley, land use, wild- life and flood control. Sotne of these studies were completed last summa and fall but are not as yet in the hands of the organization. In the interval, the Authority has been making short-range plans and starting schemes that were obviously needed. When the detailed studies are completed, long- range plans can be laid and phased over a period of years. Like everything else, con- servation costs money, and while in most instances the Ontario Government provides about 50 per cent of the funds, the re- mainder is raised by the 29 con- tributing municipalities. Due to the fact that conservation can be a nebulous thing, and money spent is not necessarily provid- ing a benefit to any given lo- cality, the Authority has ex- perienced some opposition for various projects from some of the contributing centres. It is not an easy task for any coun- cil to think beyond its own municipality, but such must be the case if conservation on a watershed such as the Maitland is to progress.
