an FWW fir on new lt semen orrawa Published by Canadian Newspapers Lindted WailI Publisher MONDAY APRIL ill to Bayfield Street Barrie Ontario v5wuua Puet General mun Immediate And Long Range Action To Save BayPorts The rapidly declining water level in Georgian Ba and Lake Huron has be come critics and urgent measures are required It would appear that Colling wood harbor must be dred ed almost immediately or the sbipya and the jobs of 1000 men are endan ered 0n the longer term issue is the tuation at Midland and Port McNicoll where grain elevators are located and from where regular passenger and cruise ships oper ate in the open season Lakes There has been drop of three feet in the level of the bay during the past three years If the fall in water level continues at the same rate this year bfi next fall the large bulk carriers wi have difficulty getting into Midland and Port McNicoli harbors with cargoes not to mention Coliingwood where ship con structan and launching are vital factors to the economy of the whole Georgian Bay resiiin The decline also is presenting prob lems in inner channels such as the of the Great Severn and the Nottawasaga which are used by waterborne tourists and pleas ure boaters Rocky shoals which once were well under water now present ma jor hazards for cruisers and even small er pleasure craft Much of the lucre tive tourist trade of Huronla is tied to this factor So far0itawa has seemed indifferent to the situation Only $62000 has been set aside for dredging operations at Georgian Bay ports ap ears that 8800000 has been allocated oraettlng up regatta course off Lake Ontario in the St Catharines area That is the minimum amount which is needed right now to rescue Collingwood harbor What has been the cause of all this One authority claims the trouble comes from the channel between Sarnia and Port Huron in the St Clair River which was deepened six feet in 1959 to make it easier for deepsea ships plying the St Lawrence Seaway an Great Lakes System It is contended that this caus ed pulling of water from Georgian Bay and Lake Huron Unless action is take en to control this flow the lake and bay will not return to normal level regard less of annual rain and snow fall The remedy is said to be dam at Sarnla which would man also construc tion of canal and locks system It would be costly all right but some longrange plan must be undertaken to save the Georgian Bay ports and shipbuilding in dustry DOWN MEMORY LANE 50 YEARS AGO INTOWN Barrie Saturday Morning April 18 1914 At Board of Education an enquiry
