The committee 'th developers Keith ofGoderich, owner, of ropertt, and Dick of London, to discuss velopment and to • at - to page its impact on erich waterfront. ver, one of the ers .of the Bayfield complex, told the dee' that the entire inGoderich will result lips for pleasure craft tthe .development has ken into phases to be cted as finances and se.

He eater currents cause _ter which is formed e lake swirls around mouth and sand carried by the lake water is deposited in a sandbar. The problem will be solved by a 250 foot stone breakwall built out into the lake. The wall will be constructed of stone that will break up the waves coming in rather than a solid breakwall that stops the waves and forces the water` back against the next wave. Peever said that the shallow river bed at the mouth of the Maitland is what causes the ice jams and flooding in the spring of the year. He saidthe—ice makes its way down river and jams at the mouth because of the low water. He claimed that by dredging the mouth of the river the ice will flow into the lake and should stop most of the jamming. He added that the ice damage that the golf course annually incurs should be eliminated. The rates for dockage in the marina can't be determined this early according to the developers who pointed out that in some areas of con- struction costs could be kept down if certain materials can be used but if it is impossible to use those methods a more expensive alternative may be needed which would be reflected in the rates. "We hope to build a stone embankment between the marina and the river to avoid using sheet steel piling," explained Peever. "If we discover that we can't use the stone then we have no choice but steel and that is currently costing $125 a foot." Peever added that there are a number of marina development programs in which the federal govern- ment contributes financially and he didn't know yet whether the Maitland project would receive federal help. He said there were many other areas where the costs could be pared by discoveries during construction. He said he felt the mooring rates could be kept reasonable pointing out that the Bayfield Marina is full which speaks for the rates there. "We believe that if you charge too much or put it to people it always backfires," said Peever. "We want to cater to every boat owner around because we want every person that can help with the revenue to use our facility." The developer said the marina will attract a great deal of tourist business to the town during the boating season and will provide full time and part-time work for residents of Goderich. He said when he started the Bayfield project there were only a handful of boats using the harbor there and now there are 300 using it. He said the Goderich scheme was "grandiose" and that 'if it ever is completed to its final entity there will be a lot of boats in the Goderich harbor. "We want to build an at - SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL RED CROSS tractive, roomy facility that will be pleasant for the boater and keep the cottage at- mosphere of this part of the Lakeshore alive," said Peever. "We're building a facility we feel people want and are willing to pay for in the rates." Up a tree about what to give for Christmas Why not make it a White -Etna Christmas a .r WHITE NO. 954 Reg.
