A deputation including Mr. Wright and other reeves of the various town- ships around the lake purpose going to Ottawa to urge their claims on the Govornment.--'I.`oronto News,_ April, 219:. t ` - cup on uuvvvuusun tvslllltluvlvllo ..-....,.. The plan is to drain the water out by way of the outlet at Lake Couchi china, lowering the present level of Lake Simcoe about 7 to 8 feet, Mr. Wright says that about 80,000 acres of land would be reclaimed including about 10,000 acres on ' the Holland river, principally in the vicinity of Bradford which has large and valuable deposits of peat which _run to a depth of 15 feet. The peat material would be taken out with ease if the water were lowered. Mr. _Wright claims that the cost of the work would be comparatively triing. The Government during Hon. Christopher Fraser's regime spent about 86,000 blasting at the proposed outlet, and it is believed that the work could be completed for a mere bagatelle. The cost of the work, it ialauggeated, would soon be paid by the assessment on the reclaimed land. 'DLI,_I_`I_ O ICI. ' en'- If the lskewere lowered it would of course necessitate an extension of whsrfsge at `various points on the lake, but itis pointed out that the benets derived from the level lowering process would sink this expenditnre into insig- niosnoe. ' memorializing the Government to allow the lowering of the water, and Mr. Wright visited ' the city in order to induce, if possible, the" Grand Trunk to lend its inuence in view of the facts that the volume of freight business would greatly increase the project is brought to a successful termination.
