Maitland Plant fo ' Purchase and development of 229 acres of the Falls Reserve, in..Colbor-ne Township near Ben - miller, as a watershed scheme has been approved by the Mait- land Valley Conservation. Auth- ority and awaits concurrence of the minister of lands and for- ests. The. provincial department. would pay 50 per cent of the cost. The authority holds an 'op- tion p - tion• on the property and re- newal date is March 22. The Falls property is owned by Har- ry T. 'Williams, of RR 4, Gode- rich, and would cost $7,675 it $33 an acre. - With a mile of riverfront, the property will likely be develop- ed as a year-round multiple -use area according to a report tab- led at the annual meeting. Uses would include camping, picnicking, nature displays, fishing and skiing. The report suggests 50 acres of agricultural land could be rented to a farmer. The report said a road Should be located to provide access to the river' to control traffic through the rented section. Winter activities such as skiing could be handled as a .concession'or .on a lease basis. The land purchase would be the largest made by the two- year-old authority which com- prises 29 municipalities. Z Newly -elected chairman Ro- bert Wenger, of Wingham, felt enough revenue would be de- rived from the Falls property. to pay ..the maintenance , costs and enough land could be leas- ed to pay the taxes. A. D. Smith, of Bluevale, elected vice-chairman, said he hoped the'project could be de- veloped. under the present levy. J. W. Kelterborn, of Milverton, said "it's important to conserve• for our own people . before it gets into the hands of private owners." Retiring- ' chairman Harold Cosens, of Elma Township, said "it might take 10 years , to de- velop and niake use, of the property . ...if the people use it, then the facilities can be X14 Auti....orItY r New Par put Chet:A" Cyril Bamford, .of Listowel, was re-elected secretary -treas- urer. - Elected committee' chairmen were John....Coghlin, of Elma Township, flood control; Wil- liam Evans, Kinloss Township, reforestation ; - Harry Tebbutt, Hullett. Township, farm ponds; Mr..Ielterborn, public relations and Oscar Nickel, Listowel, con- servation and wildlife. Mr. Tebbutt, chairman of the. farm pond and land use ad- visory board, said the authority has enough applications for farm ponds for this year. He said farm ponds have been con- strutted in every 'municipality in the authority. Retiring reforestation chair- man Dan Beuerman, of McKil- lop, said the authority's forest area -tad been enlarged by the purchase of two properties. In Turnberry Township 384 bores tract was acquired, and 100 acres was purchased in Howick Township. Larry C. Scales, zone forester for the department of lands and forests, said this year 100,- 000 trees will be planted on the Stapleton tract and 20,000 on the Morley tract. The depart- ment has already planted 188,- 000 trees on 466- acres of land for the authority. - In a recent issue the Gode- rich , Signal -Star described the•. area and what it was hoped to accomplish. lVraitlandfield officer Ken Musclow told The 'Signal -Star the price should not be a ma- jor objection. The Falls will cost $33 an acre compared with a going rate of -$2,000. "Open space is a,. resource," he explained. "People in cities would agree with you but' farm- ers do not." It is a matter of opinion which is the main reason for proposing purchase-- of The Falls. There is an Indian archeologi- cal site on the land which, ac- cording . to Mr. Musclow, has suffered from indiscriminate digging. Once The . Falls is held by the authority this asset would be' protected. Mr. Musclow said The. Falls has "great recreation poten- tial." But under terms of • the authority's powers, land cannot be purchased for the sole pur- pose of recreation. Recreation uses can only be added to land already held for conservation. "We're not 'in the parks business," Mr. Mus - clow said. Public Access GROWING BEANS ? .nr.,: =Contact E. L.

The• authority grants a $10 a theusand subsidy for tree plant- ing. And it will grant up to. $150 subsidy' for farm pond con- struction. It will give technical helpand some money' for ero- sion control. Flood control on the Maitland is not as critical „as on some other Ontario rivers. How in Wingham and Listowel e run off can be very fast and in- tense. In Elma Township the slow rum -off at the Boyle Drain createsa problem. for farmers wanting to get on the land. In Goderich, ice floes can jam the harbors. The authority has construct- ed two retaining walls at Lis- towel for flood control, oper ates three snow courses for measuring the water content of the snow on the watershed, and has an automatic stream gauge on the North Maitland at Turn - berry. Because of heavy farming, Mr. Musclow said, it will be difficult, if .t impossible, to return th and heav This, mo e han polution, ac- counts for the disappearance of the bass, he said.

Purchase will also mean that, one mile of the Maitland river, the only mile, will be held in. public domain, which in turn means public access. The Falls also will likely be used for land use demonstra- tions and examples of erosion control. Forty acres of The Falls is now being farmed by Mr. Wile liams. This may be leased back byhe authority. ' 'Phe Falls ,is divided into three benches or slofies,,,most of it stoney, scrub land, cover- ed with hawthorns. - The authority, as presently constituted," is two years old, In 1952 a smaller authority was formed between Wingham and Milverton.

The authority levies ,50 per cent from the province, the rest from the members, 25 per cent based onpopulation and 25 per cent on assessment. However, full, control of financ- es and activities remains solely with the members.

The Ontario Water Resourc- es Commission will also be mov- ing into this new department, meaning there could be closer liaison between the two bodies in the future. SE,A Til 'All NU OPEN DAILY T.
