erosion on creek We would be assisting nature to speed up the process of slowing down erosion he said Russell said the erosion along the creek near Midhurst creates drainage problems for farmers downstream in the Minesingarea As soon as the stream gets in to flat country it slows down deposits the sediment it has ac cumulated and prevents free flow into the Nottawasaga River he said As result farmland is flooded LOSING TREES Residents of Belmont Cres in Midhurst are concerned that their backyards are falling into the creek Venor Lambert Vespra Township councillor who lives along the river bank says property owners are already losing trees over the bank Russell said there is no immediate danger to the homes but the problem must be looked at now He said the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority accepted the idea of stone filled baskets along the bank or row of large boulders but would not promise success The society will also plant deep rooting fast growing trees on eroding banks to try and stablize the ground It has ordered 130 willow trees from the ministrv of natural resources forestry department The historical society will ask council to approach the ministry of transportation and communications to examine the erosion along Highway 27 near Doran Road Russell said he felt the department of highways should assume responsibility for the river banks in that area DUMPED SAND Reeve George Buie said the department of highways dumped more tonnage of sand than was ever there before during the reconstrution of Highway 27 few years ago ac celerating the erosion Lambert said council could ask the ministry to supply materials for the work along the highway and the township could provide the manpower Any work undertaken by the historical society would be to get rid of the gouges or bends in the creek with minor correc tions to divert the water hitting the banks Russell explained We must be careful not to overdo things he said You can solve something and create problem somewhere else He said engineers would want to do 100 per cent job but it would be costly We would do an 80 per cent job at 20 per cent price he said Doctors patients await decision on

costs alloted the hospital $22 million for 1979 that same figure as last year With inflation running at about nine per cent the grant amounts to nine per cent cut The figure was based on ratio of population to beds Pcnetanguishcnes hospital the ministry said has more beds than are needed in the com munity and funds are granted broke down hours Pensions are calculated on an employees pay during
