Pip 2 Times-Advocate, Febrvary 16, 1967 Expect Parkhill darn start in June The contractor should be on the site of the Parkhill darn by June 5, members of the Ausable River Conservation Authority were told at their annual meet- ing in Parkhill, Friday. George Ramage of M. M. Dil- lon & Company, the consulting engineers on the huge project, indicated work could start two Weeks earlier than that if pro- cedures are speeded up. He reported that the tentative completion date would be Sep- tember 30, 1968. While final cost arrangements have not yet been settled between the federal and provincial gov- ernments, members were told sidered by the ARCA, the flib- bert dam, will not he undertaken at present; but Earl Dick stated he would like to investigate the matter further. "The main concern is what the people would have to pay,,, he said, adding that It could only be undertaken if an agree- ment such as that reached on the Parkhill darn could be ap- proved, on all work undertaken. At pres- ent they receive 75 percent on some and 50 percent on others. "There's no way you can get more than the present grants," Mr, Barnes interjected, al- though he did add that the pres- ent select committee studying the work of conservation author- ities may make some realm- rneedation of that nature. Another project being con- want to be held op as they have in the case of their bridge atop the Parkhill dein. The chairman aleo noted that some consideration would heve to be given to stream bank erosion control at Pork Franks. However, he said this was too big a pro- ject to undertake under the pres- era cost sharing agreement with the government. He suggested the ARCA should attempt to get 90 percent grants Group loses 366 pounds that the cost to the authority would not exceed $206,405, regardless of what the final cost may be. This announcement was made by A, S, L. Barnes, director, Conservation Authorities Branch of the Department of Energy and Resources Management. With the Parkhill dam finally approved, members were given some new projects to consider by Wellington Brock, who was re-elected chairman of the Auth- ority. fie said the flood control com- mittee of the ARCA would be meeting with the councils of Lucan and Biddulph Township to consider the erection of a dam- bridge on Highway 4, north of Lucan. The department of highways plan to build a new bridge there in their reconstruction of the highway. However, Mr. Brock noted that the department did not Farmers! .Complete Planting Service With Na Churs Liquid Fertilizer We have a new bean fertilizer, proven very successful in test plots in 1966, Also we have equipment to plant corn, beans, grain & turnips.

Mixes! Delivers! further assure you that I am not only personally interested inthis matter — the Ontario government has a very definite interest as well. "I would hope that this would help to convince council that none of us at this level of govern- ment is overlooking a single factor in this regard, and I was informed by the Director of the Corporation this morning (Fri- day) that in an effort to further facilitate the study process, he has assigned a member of his staff to the study team of the consulting firm of Stevenson & Kellogg Limited in order that the closest liaison can be maintain- ed." to have an indication of what the cost factors might be where the expenditure of public funds is involved," he added. Two of his concluding para- graphs to Exeter Clerk Eric Carscadden were these: "I believe that the approval by the Treasury Board of $25,- 000 for detailed study purposes was well warranted, and I would simply ask you to assure the Mayor and members of council that I am maintaining close con- tact with the Minister of Econ- omics and Development and the Ontario Development Corpora- tion, and I will make every en- deavour to keep the interested parties closely informed. I would Continued from front page to establish there on some basis, pending final determination as to the disposal of the property, but apparently, the attempts were unsuccessful. Decisions of that nature are still in the hands of Crown As- sets and the Ontario government has no jurisdiction of any kind in this respect. "It is regrettable of course that it was not possible for Found Brothers Aviation Ltd, to es- tablish there even on an interim basis pending final determina- tion, but I do think that this is a situation where a little pa- tience will provide even greater rewards," Mr. MacNaughton ex- plained. Referring again to the feasi- bility study, the Provincial Trea- surer noted it is a very sensible way of determining the overall potential of the various facilities as they would lend themselves to the development of an indus- trial park which of course would involve provision of facilities for a variety of industries.

We're OVERSTOCKED with Used Cars $80,000 INVENTORY WILL BE SOLD REGARDLESS OF COST NO DOWN PAYMENT — NO PAYMENTS TILL APRIL three-day rodeo, that is being extended this year to a five-day affair, The proposed move to the com- munity Park will necessit at e moving of the present baseball diamond directly in front of the grandstand. The stand would become an important part of the change. A representative of RAP, the town body governing recreation, arena and parks had told an earlier meeting that it would cost about $2,500 to make the proper ball diamond adjustments. The same amount would be spent in setting up a new rodeo ring and its necessary components, making a total of $5,000. In the next couple of weeks, members of the committee will be approaching the businesses in the town and other interested par- ties in regard to the methods of raising the needed capital and the benefits that are available to the merchants from such an undertaking. In addition to a rodeo, the new facilities would be used for the annual quarter horse show and the monthly shows of the local saddle club. Plans are being formulated to go ahead with the proposed mov- ing of the rodeo site to Exeter Community Park from its present site at the Exeter Saddle club grounds, west of Exeter. A committee headed by Dr. Don Ecker has been meeting with various local organizations discussing the merits of estab- lishing a rodeo ring and other facilities for saddle horse en- thusiasts at a more convenient location. At the lastest meeting, Mon- day, representatives of the Board of Trade, Exeter Agricultural Society, Exeter Kinsmen and Le- gion were in attendance in ad- dition to members of the rodeo committee, Dr. Ecker, Dr. W. Read and John Burke. All parties agreed that the establishing of a rodeo would benefit the entire town. If the plan is successfully completed a rodeo would be held for two days, possibly over Labour Day weekend. A similar venture in Morris, Manitoba, a community of only 1,300 population has proved very successful. Daily crowds of 15,- 000 have been attending this KEY WORDS Perhaps the most encouraging words contained in Mr. Mac- Naughton's communications were these: "I am optimistic enough to believe that the study will in- dicate that the adaptability fea- tures are such that the Ontario government will be able to con- sider favorably the acquisition of the entire property even though it may require some initial sub- sidization on the part of the government to develop it into an industrial park." While he noted it was a little premature to reach any final con- clusions, Mr. MacNaughton ex- plained that the feasibility study was the only way of determining the extent to which the facilities are presently adaptable on the one hand, and on the other hand, the extent to which changes would require to be made to make it adaptable for industrial park pur- poses.
