DISCUSS AUTHORITY ENLARGEMENT - The boundaries of the Ausable-Bayfield Conservation Authority
were enlarged at a special meeting Thursday. Now included is a small portion of Goderich township and all
the lake shore from Bayfield to a southerly point in Bosanquet township. Shown above discussing the matter
are Authority chairman Elgin Thompson; Russ Powell, Conservation Authorities regional supervisor; Ellis
Dryer, assistant to the branch director and the local Authority's resources manager Roger Martin.
Interviews held by Hydro give
no information on consequences
By ADRIAN VOS
Ontario Hydro has held in-
terviews with Huron county
people to find out if they ap-
proved or disapproved the
proposed new power station in
Huron county. However, they did
not give any information as to the
consequences a power plant
would have on the jobs and taxes
of the people in Huron's towns
and villages, from Wingham
through Goderich down to the
South.
As a result, if my information is
correct, townspeople generally
were in favour of a power plant. I
will give here some of the
drawbacks that a power plant
will have on our towns, as ex-
perienced by the people, in other
areas, who were suddenly con-
fronted with great industrial
development, which they initially
welcomed with a great deal of
joyous expectation.
In Bruce county about 8,000
persons work on the Douglas
Point project. Let's assume that
in Huron county it would be 4,000
workers. The average family
being 31,a persons, it would
require housing, schools,
recreation facilities, restaurants
and store expansion, sewers and
water for 14,000 people.
Hydro would pay some of this,
but the greater burden will fall on
all Huron taxpayers, that is you
and me. The London Free Press
reported that a belated study in
Bruce county shows it will cost
the surrounding municipalities
$24.5 million. The study says that
the Douglas Point station will
have an adverse affect on nearby
municipalities for the cost of
providing additional services.
Our county council would be
well advised to initiate a similar
study, so we, the taxpayers, will
have a better idea if there are any
benefits in this type of
development. When the plant is
completed there will be at the
most 1,000 people permanently
employed. The cost incurred for
the 3,000families-thatleave willbe
all wasted and the empty
facilities have to be abandoned or
kept up with your and mine tax
money.
Another side effect felt in
Bruce was the closing of small
plants who couldn't compete with
the wages paid the power plant
workers. As a result many were
laid off and, in the case of older
workers, (45 and up) very dif-
ficult to find a new job. If this
Huron plant would be started in
the next five years, it would af-
fect workers who are now in their
late thirties.
This again will hit your pocket
book, for that is where welfare is
coming from, I know that real
estate people will probably frown
on this letter, for they are the
only ones who stand to profit by
industrial expansion of this kind.
There will also be a few farmers
who will receive premium prices
for their land. This however will
be limited to a very few whose
land is needed for the plant site
and for the needed subdivisions
for 4,000 families.
If it goes like Bruce, there will

Erosion eontrol along the banks.
of Lake Huron may now becoma
possible through projects
sponsored by the Ausahle-
Bayfield Conservation Authority.
The boundaries of the
Authority were extended at a
special meeting Thursday night
to include all lake fronts in an
area from north of Iiayfield to
near the southerly extremities of
Bosanquet township,
Only the seven municipalities
involved were allowed to vote on
the expansion question. In ad-
dition to Bosanquet the others
were the villages of Bayfield and
Grand Bend and the townships of
Goderich, Stanley, Hay and
Stephen.
Bayfield was not represented
at the meeting but the other six
voted unanimously to accept the
proposal, Immediately following,
the full Authority was asked to
accept the additional area of
jurisdiction and this also carried
unanimously.
Also included in the expanded
territory was a small inland
portion of Goderich township not
previously included in the
watershed.
After approval was given,
Grand Bend reeve Bob Sharen
said he knew of at least three
groups which were prepared to
ask the Authority for help in
erosion control along the banks of
Lake Huron.
He was told by resources
manager Roger Martin that a
workshop on erosion control to let
all interested property owners
know of the possibilities under
this and another provincial
program was being planned.
Martin said he hoped to
arrange a meeting in Grand Bend
on a Saturday in the near future.
Former Aui thority chairman
Bill Amos suggested a meeting be
held in Grand Bend in the mor-
ning and in Bayfield in the af-
ternoon.
Russ Powell, regional super-
visor of Conservation Authority
programs said he felt a lot of
people didn't know about erosion
help under existing provincial
legislation.
Hay township representative
John Tinney said one errosion
project in his township had been
processed,
At the same meeting, the
Authority approved the purchase
of two additional properties.
In the first acquisition, the
Authority bought one acre of land
and a house as part of the Van
Gastel property near Clinton.
The property will cost $9,000.
The Authority's share of the cost
after provincial grants will be
$2,250 and this will be shared by
all municipalities,
The second purchase will not"
cost the Authority members a
single cent. The balance of
$47,500 after grants from the
province will be paid for by the
Authority's Foundation which is
currently being formed.
The purchase price for the 550
acres near the existing Parkhill
Conservation area is $190,000.
The property included 190 acres
of workable land and 50 acres of
hardwood bush. The balance is
valleyland, slopes and bottom
land.
Roger Martin told the' meeting
that the purchase of this property
will allow the Authority to
become eligible for 75 percent in
grants for all of their 1974 ex-
penditures instead of the usual 70
percent.
While the Authority hasn't
decided on uses for the new
property Martin said there were

be a ban on development within a
five mile radius of the plant. This
locks this land in agriculture and
the farmer who owns this land is
locked in a low price. Probably
lower than before, for who wants
the risk of a nuclear plant or the
smoke of a coal fired plant on his
doorstep?
I could bring forth many more
arguments, all against a power
plant in Huron county. What we
should have is an independent
study of all the effects by an
independent group if we want this
plant, not by biased hydro em-
ployees.
