Sunday perch fishing was re
ported as improved over recent
weeks. A ,party of 12 anglers,
operating from an anchored
boat outside • the breakwa; ls, re-
ported gratifying success with
the somewhat elusive pap. fish.
Suction dredging in the back
basin is completed and the ex-
tensive pipeline is being dis-
mantled. Removal of the Ship
Island -bedrock is continuing
via the rock -chisel and clam
method. This is a much slower
process than the suction- dredg
ing used toremove. gravel and
overburden, necessitating" drill-
ing of the rock face before the
chisel mechanism can operate.

came in Sunday at midnight to
take the barge John Fritz in
tow, headed for the head of
the lakes and a load of storage

. The 1902 popsilation of Hur-
on County is 209 more than it
was in ,1901, according to the
figures of County Assessor Alex
Alexander. The 1962 figure
48,891 in contrast to the 19fi1
.ti+ure of 48,682.
'1 his increase stands in com-
parison to an increase of 673
in 1961 over the 1960' popula-
tion. Thus, over a two-year
perio 1, the population of 'Huron
has increased by 882 people.
.The figures show that the pop-
ulation has increased in the
following municipalities over
the 1961 figures: townships of
Ashlield; Goderich, Hay, Me-
l< Plop, 'l'uckersmith, Turnberry,
East and West Wawanosh: in -
'creases also in the following
towns and villages --Clinton, Ex-
eter, Wingbarn, Brussels - and

mained exactly the same. De-
creases were noted in the fol-
lowing townships in. 1962 from
that in 1961: Colborne, Grey,
tlowick, Mullett, Stanley, Ste-
phen and Usborne. In Sea -
forth, Blyth and Zurich, the
populations in 1962 are also
down •to those in 1961.
