Branch of the Department of
Oceans and Fisheries in Burl-
ington, to determine if there
might be a permanent solu-
tion to the silting problem has
been postponed until spring
for lack of present data on
drift and currents of the lake.
• At Wednesday night's com-
mittee meeting, in Grand
Bend, Marina owner, and
former fisherman, John
Manore mentioned that there
was a study done from the
pier when the Lake Huron
water pipeline was planned. A
representative from the On-
tario Ministry of the Environ-
ment said on the ,weekend,
however, that the particular
study in question looked most-
ly at the quality of the water
at that time. •
Fisherman and member of
the committee, Joe Green,
has felt, from the beginning of
the committee's formation,
that a breakwall would be the
only permanent solution to
the silting problem. The Burl-
ington study would determine
if such a structure -could be in-
stalled so that it would not be
detrimental to the shores to
the north 'and south of the
piers.
At the meeting, council
representative, Dennis Snider
told the group that there
would be about $7,500 in
"useful" income from the
docks along the shores of the
cut. Last year the village
realized .about $10,000 from.
dockage fees. Expenses made
up the difference.
The group discussed a pro-
posal from Manore Iddrine to
sell the building owned by the.
firm and located at the eastetrC
ly end of River Road. The
Manore firm leases the land
from the federal government:

a decision would be immature
until, the potential for.income
from the business was further
investigated. Chairman Tom
Lawson expressed thanl4s to
the Manores for their interest
and suggested tabling the pro-
posal until the group had
drawn up long range plans
and decided on priorities.
Vice chairman, Dr: Russell
Lingard reported that he had
been in touch,with a represen-
tative of the federal govern-
ment and that a grant would
be available to employ three
person for work around the
harbour building for a three
month period, probably
beginning in February.
Snider reported that Wayne
Forbes, who has purchased a
fish .retailing building our
River Road had requested
permission to repair the dock-
ing ramp and rent small boats
from the area. He was in-
terested in looking after
charging boaters for using the
ramp. Snider felt that the
business should be run joint-
ly with the village, and that
the village should pay part of

ramp.
In the past there has been
no charge to boaters to.launch
their craft from the ramp. It
is the only -launching ramp in
Grand Bend.
The committee decided to
support a request from the

of Commerce opposing a
move to keep small pleasure
craft from using the Welland
Canal. Dick Manore sug-
gested that the Trent and the
Rideau systems should be
considered at the same time.
The group will send a letter
supporting the Niagara
Chamber and including
Manore's amendment.
It was decided to request

penses. To date the area
