Reeve Sharen stated that there
was little chance of the village
affording the $20,000 expected to
be left over from the project after
the provincial grants were ap-
plied.
Councillor Robert Simpson
expressed the opinion that the
people who own the land along
the river should be' paying to
some extent.
Reeve Sharen said he agreed
that the property owner should
pay a share unless the property
owner was willing to give up
access to the river bank. He said
if the village could install docks
along the river bank, and charge
a dockage fee to help offset the
cost of erosion control, the village
might be willing to go ahead.
Mr. Martin informed council
that new legislation has been
passed which says the property
owner must contribute in some
way to the project. He, also in-
formed council that the Ministry
of Natural Resources holds
control over the entire river area
and could transfer this control to
the village for the purpose of
building docks.
"All of those docks along the
river are there with no authority
at the present time," said Mr.
Martin.
Following considerable
discussion on the possibilities of
development of the river and
banks once the erosion problem
was under control, Reeve Sharen
suggested that council put the
control of the river and banks,
along with any docks or other
facilities that may be con-
structed, in the hands of a har-
bour or river commission. He
suggested the funds for work on
the river facilities could be raised
separately from the
municipality and could be paid
for strictly- with funds received
by the commission from use .of
the facilities.
