One is the pollution that you - 'really don't notice -when you are' in the city, but viewing the city from . Highway No. 6 or the Hamilton Mountain, it- is very evident. Another problem in the area is, the older part of the city 'where there are a vast number of houses closely spaced, `close 'to the :highway and very -poorly kept. After lunch at "The Centre"' in Hamilton, we -travelled on to Niagara Falls via the Queen Elizabeth .Highway.' In this'area many examples of urban, sprawl are evident.

Most of these crops. looked fairly old and, in many cases, no attempt was being made to rejuvenate` them. Climate, growing season, rainfall°and soils are all favourable'to growing 'fruit in this area. But the price of land and operating a farm has increased rapidly in recent years. As a result, many of the farmers are selling their land to -industry. Close to 20 "For Sale" signs» were seen along the Q:E.W., and, interestingly, read "Industrial Land For Sale". A number of problems also exist with the Q.E.W. Many small 'concession roads used to intersect. with the , Q.E.W.1 At present, most of • these intersections have, been..c.lgsed... As °a result, many small service stations:and stores have been put '. out of business, but the Q.E.W.should be a safer highway. Near Niagara Falls our group split . up.
