He prepared a prole of the bottom of the river and a complete set of cross sections. This prole shows that the bottom of the river is very - irregular. being obstructed! throughout its entire length by a series of hard-pan bars that resist the action of the water. In low, water, long reaches of the river have a. depth of water varying from 8 to I5 feet. while at these hard-pan bars the depth is from I to 3 feet. In my opinion these bars are `the ' sole cause of the diiculty. W ere these bars removed or excavated to a uni- forindeoth from 7 to ,6 feet below the present summer level, and to a uniform width, say 90 feet. Iam sat-* ised the summer level of the rivet lean be low_ered at least '6 feet." It naturally follows that? the flood level must be appreciably lowered and the length of time of/boding_materiallly reduced, and that all-these swamp ..lands- can be effectively drainedand lthe dreary waste made productive. _' i I The amount of excavating requir- f ed to be done to secure a channel as! } above` described would be about 150,- Fooo cubic yards. The excavated earth wilI_.require to be carried away in! `scows and deposited in the deeperl reaches of the river. From the most"! `reliable information s-obtainable, It should say the.enti;r'ejwork, with in-E ,cidenta1 expenses, can be "accomp-3 lished at a cost not exceeding $5055} ',l\l'Il'\ 5 ' A (Con\tinued from Page One.) of Vespra and Sunnidale. and . is! about 18 miles from Georgian -Bay, .following the course of the river. here is where the whole difficulty arises. North of this swamp in the `Township of` Flos the river runs through a series of high sand` ridges that conne the water to a narrow. channel. `This part of the river is locally known as the Neck of. the bottle. The channel through this neck is insuicient to accommodate the ow of the water. In the swamo during" ood time the water rises` some I4 feet above the normal sum- mer level, and submerges theswamp lands to a depth varying from one to seven feet. A similar condition of L affairs--exists in the vicinity of Jack s l Lake in the Township of Sunnidale, . but the oodedarea is not so exten-, sive, nor is the rise of the water. so treat.
