a small, area which is 'crained by
the middle branch. Most of the
township is eontrolled by the

Mr. Bolton said he sought in-
formation on how to set up an au-
thority in the southern zone or
suggested it might become a part
of the Middle Maitland, He be-
lieved, several projects in that

more; members of municipalities
in that watershed would„ have to
petition, the Department of Plan -
ping and Development seeking a
meeting of representatives of

"If the south;branch organizes
then the Middle Maitland will
dissolve as a limited unit and
another authority name will be
chosen 'to indicate the enlarged
program," said Mr. ;Cosens.
H. 'G. ;Hooke, of Exeter, secre-
tary of the Ausabie Authority,
and connected with ;the Middle

Middle Maitland program is now
curtailed by a small budget frcm
its limited assessable area. He
foresees an expansion of need-
ed conservation work in the Mait-
land 'watershed with inclusion of
the south • branch. ,Ile also be-
lieves contact should also be
made with municipalities on the
