An energ- etic entrepreneur, inventor and cattle trader, Cantin began work here, in 1897, on a city named St. Joseph from which he hoped to construct a canal linking Lakes Huron and Erie. Undaunted by his inability to raise sufficient funds for this project, he initiated and, bet- ween 1900 and 1930, tirelessly promoted the concept of a Great Lakes seaway system which would take passengers and freight from all ocean ports on the globe direct to all the principal ports on the Great Lakes." 0 New system in use Water users in the village of Zurich should have no more complaints about poor pressure. The new water distribution system is now in use, accord- ing to manager W.D. Armst- rong, and the water is now being pumped from the large underground reservoir which is located just south of the fire hall.
