Mr. Gower said the con-

to cooperate with the town

of the alternative plans.
Mr. Howard, the MVCA
manager, recounted the
history of the authority's
activities since its inception.
'He noted that in the 1960s the
provincial government was
actively promoting the pre-
servation of local millponds
as small reservoirs. In more
recent years, however, that
attitude has been reversed
and no provincial money is
available for what are now
considered purely recrea-
tional projects.

assistance in the Wingham
dam project. As well, he
said, there is the possibility
of funding from other
ministries.
In Brussels, where a
similar problem existed, full
funding eventually was
provided by the federal
government. However he
urged that action be taken
this year, since a delay
might endanger the chances
of securing federal aid.
Murray Elston, MPP for
the riding, said he doubts the
feasibility of a dam further
downstream, adding there is
less chance of provincial
assistance in a larger
project. He offered his full
cooperation, but warned he
is not optimistic about the
chances of provincial fund-
