.Further food and shelter plant

Authority in Usborne Township.
The only expenses in 1956 have
been $28,70 so that the surplus
from this budget will be $171.30.
Because definite activities have
been planned for 1957 a budget
of $300 is requested to carry out
the projects.

For Reforestation
n
Usborne’s Wellington Brock re
ported on reforestation work
undertaken during the year:
The Authority’s x annual arbor
day for school children was held
in Adelaide Township this year.
About 2,200 trees were planted on
the property of Walter Feasey at
Adelaide Village. Survival of
these trees has been very good,
Two other landowners used the
authority machine to plant over
6,000 trees, but as in past years there has been little demand for
either, mechanical or hand plant
ing assistance.
Fifty acres of land was pur
chased in Hay Township at the
beginning of the year to bring
the total in this area to 1,456
acres,
Owners of .property in the Ar-
kona Tract of the recommended
authority forest were contacted
during the summer and fall and
over 600 acres was optioned. To
date the authority has accepted
two of the four options and the
remaining ones are being, con
sidered. ■
The purchase of these two prop
erties totalling over 425 acres and
possibly'a third comprising 28 hiiriaM-a^ain in inw acres, will use all but a small 1ltsJ3UdF1, ,,
amount of the 1956 budget- of ,------,— -$11,522.24. It is estimated that the of ponds constructed m earth on the
year-end surplus will be in the township with the. approximate W plles earth on the
neighborhood of $100. I monetary value which they reu-, oeacn.
It appears that numerous prop
erties will be available1 to the
authority in 1957 and with-this in
mind the Reforestation Advisory
Board has requested a budget of
$14,000 to cover its costs next
year.

Land Use Work
The farm ponds board, headed
by Joe Bryan of Biddulph, rc-
Requests for engineering as-'
sistance and subsidies on farm
ponds during 1956 have been fa,r
below the record pf 1955. This
has undoubtedly been due to the
wet weather which assured ade
quate. supplies of ’water in
streams, wells, etc. To date 55
ponds have’ received subsidies
and engineering, totalling $1,874.
Five hundred and ten ponds in
the Ausabie Watershed have now
received assistance.
At a meeting of this advisory
board in November the lack of a
land use program was discussed
and a motion was passed stating

accordance with the plans which
have been drawn up. Thirty pic-,
nic tables have been ordered from '
the Department of Reform Insti-
tutions for use in this area and
to replace several which have
become broken in the Port
Franks and Rock Glen parks.
These tables will cost about $13.00
each or almost half as much as
those which have been purchased to date. Also the design and con
struction is much more durable
than those in use at present.
The Sarnia Boy Scout Associa
tion has not yet agreed to sell the
23 acres south of the cut, but the
board is continuing its efforts to ,
obtain a satisfactory agreement, j
The board has been unable to;
purchase a suggested piece of j
land in the north end of the;
watershed but investigations are
being renewed to obtain two or,
three acres which would be suit
able for a roadside conservation
area.
A new mower has been pur
chased for use at the Rock Glen
property and the board has laid
plans for the standardization of
all signs used in Authority parks,
etc. These signs will be similar
to those used by other conserva
tion authorities, United States
parks and the. Ontario Govern
ment organizations,
Due to the fact that neither
the Trimble or Boy Scout prop
erties were purchased this year,
an estimated surplus in the Parks
Budget pf $1,150.43 is expected.
The board expects that ex
penses during 1957 will be great
er than 1956 due mainly to a
more extensive program of de
velopment and improvement. For
this reason a budget of $3,000 is
•requested from the 1957 Author-
i ity budget.
