Grimsby, Ont. TELEPHONE 20 Night and Morning. Have Clean, Healthy Eyes. If they Tire, Itch, Smart or Burn, if Sore, Irritated, Inâ€" beach is increasing, as only the sand and gravel reach that point. The north shore of the lake has a low cliff bank composed of reddis.hl shale with thin layers of clay beâ€" tween the seams of shale. This clay freezes and breaks up the bank and. beach in the spring when it thaws and it readily falls down and is washed ‘away by the waves. To check the material from travelling along the beach, numerous cribs genâ€" erally about ter oar twelve feet . wide and about fitty or sixty feet long have been built at right angles to the shore .line. The beach material, where it is available, gathers on the easterly side of these piers and forms a beach to give some spending space for the waves and prevents them in some cases from reaching the bank. These piers or groynes are in some places supplemented by concrete or crib walls along the foot of the bank and in certain places this combinaâ€" tion, when built in proper accordance with engineering design or common sense, is effective. t This shale beach formation is also found in the vicinity of Grimsby. Between â€" Burlington Beach and Grimsby, a distance of about â€" fifteen miles, there is a stretch of the shore which is composed of a stiff. bluish clay overlaid by several feet of redâ€" dish: sandy clay. This material under the effect of frost and thaw and wave action readily breaks up. Both the banks and the beach where insufficiently protected by a coverâ€" ing of gravel suffer almost every high water season. A few wood crib groynes were‘ built some years ago and these so far as they go, and when properly maintained, have been effective in protecting short sections of heach to the eastward of each groyne. Long sections of the beach, however, are without protection of any kind. The trouble with these piers is that they are of low specific gravity, being to a large extent wood, and the stone fill has a large percentage of voids in it, so that the net weight per cublic foot to resist wave action is low. As these piers are in effect small breakâ€" waters, they have to be made of conâ€" siderable width averaging â€"about 12 feet and they run out level on top with the result that they present a large vertical surface area to the waves Wood Cribs Settle at Outer Ends ] The purpose for which they are supposed to be built is to stop the material from travelling along the beach and not to act as breakwaters. The unnecessarily large area of the outer end causes a considerable wave action which tends to undermine the outer end of the piers and break them up if they are not regularly maintained. In most of them, where built on clay, the outer ends have settled three or four feet and some of them have been protected by a concrete outer end and deck slab. Ifi -c-ompa.x:a.tlvely rgcent Ayea,rs‘ when th8§® PGFS were built, lumber was cheap ($10.00 or $15.00 per M.) and stone was cheap, as labor was about 15c per hour and a team hire in proportion. With present prices of materials and labor the cost of building these wood stoneâ€"filled piers (apart from the question of the efficâ€" iency of this design) is very high per foot run of beach. In order to be effective these piers or groynes must be placed fairly close together. Sixty foot piers should not be more than about 300 feet apart. A sixtyâ€"foot wood crib pier will now cost about $2,500 or about $8.00 per foot run Oof beach, protected by this means. This adds too great a load to the cost_ Oof the propery and in many cases exâ€" ceeds he valug of the protected land for farming purposes. For residenâ€" tial purposes this cost might be justiâ€" fied where the owner is anxious not to lose any of his waterfront land. In order to reduce the cost of this work of beach protection, the writer has designed and built a number of steel and wood groynes of the genâ€" eral type used in Europe but adapted to suit lake conditions as they\ are found on this clay beach. Design of Groyne These groynes cost about $2.50 per foot run of protected beach. _ Thdy are simple in construction and effective, being built of sixâ€"inch Hâ€"beams, driven to a minimum penetration of SHORE PROTEGTION ALONG 6 ft. at the short end and 8 ft. at the lake end into the clay and projecting between 4% and 5 ft. above the clay. The tops of the piles slope down lakewards in accordance with the general beach contour. In most cases this slope is about one in eight on the beach, flattening out to about one in twelve under water. In one case, by driving a double row of these steel piles, 6 ft. apart, and keeping the tops level at a height of 5 ft. above lake zero, a~ combined pier and groyne 70 ft. long has been built at low cost compared to a wood crib. This pier has the advantage that a motor boat may lie along side it in a considerably large swell withâ€" out danger, as the waves pass through the open pile work, while the back wash from. a solid pier would make it impossible to lie along side. The beach material between the steel piles which are 10 ft. centres is cleaned off down to the clay and the spaces between the piles are filled up to form a close groyne with 5 in. B. C. fir timbers held down by 3 in. x 5 in. wood fillers placed verâ€" tically in the groove of the Hâ€"beams. The tops of the piles and the fillers are held rigidly in place by %â€"in. rods, 1 1ft. long with nuts and plate washers on both ends. Since Dec., 1919, about 24 of these groynes have been built to date and sixteen of them built late in 1919 and early in 1920 survived the ice action on the lake without the slightest injury. Effective Groyne Lengich ‘The most effective length iso far has been found to be 50 ft. long with the groynes spaced 225 ft. apart. A certain ratio obtains between the length of groyne and the width of beach built up at a given distance from the groyne and the point to be (Continued from page 1) arrived at is the most economical spacing and length of groyne to give the required width of beach at this given point from the groyne,so as to prevent the waves from reaching the bank and thus build up sufficient width of beach to protect it. It would appear that a minimum beach width of 35 ft. from zero water line is sufficient for this purpose under ordinary conditions. The groynes present a small end‘ area to the waves and create pracâ€" tically no self destroying wave action. Improvements in their general layâ€" out may no doubt be worked out as greater experience of their action under varying lake conditions is obtained. . Only by intelligent study of this action and its results over an extended period under different conâ€" ditions of lake water level can imâ€" provements be made and accurate information be obtained. The writer is endeavoring to tabulate such inâ€" formation for his ~Q_E,gwu§g7_,sgw,maj; the work may be reduced to a fairly exact science instead of hit and miss design or the mere process of a conâ€" tractor out to sell the maximum number of groynes or piers at the biggest price obtainable, as in some places formerly appears to have been the case when dealing with this type of work. y3 o Some men who keep cows have been slow to realize that water is one of the least expensive of the raw materials entering into ~the producâ€" tion of milk. Yet it has been shown time and again, that an increased consumption of water under most circumstances will result in an inâ€" crease at the pail.

MOXLEY RICHARDSON‘S HARDWARE PLUMBING HEATING and were hundreds of dealers throughout the country who had paid ‘the excise duty on cars and had no way of getâ€" ting it back from the consumer, on whom the tax properly rested. They appealed to the late government, and I understand they have made an apâ€" peal to this Government. I do not think they are going to get anything out of it; I do not see how they can. but for goodness‘ sake do not let us perpetrate this evil again. It may be possible to. levy a special tax on the higher priced cars; I would not say I would not be in favor of that. But to tax the ordinary car is to my mind out of the question. I am opâ€" posed to any special tax on speccial businesses, and for that reason I also oppose the tax on ginger beer, soda weter, and grape juice. These thingsâ€"are not Iuxuries. Why do you pick out one thing like grape juice and forget about ice cream, for instance? This grape juice busiâ€" ness is something that affects my own county. I have a telegram from the farmers of my county, signed by the president of the Niagara Grape Growers. It says: To put a tax of $17 a ton on grapes, the product in respect to which the farmers in this district have been most successful, is something I canâ€" not understand. I would ~ask the minister to reconsider the matter, or, at any rate, to give us a chance to discuss it when it comes before the committee. & NEW TAX ON GRAPE JUICE We have asked that ten cents a gallon tax on pure grape juice be struck off the budget proâ€" posals. It means a loss to growâ€" ers of approximately $17 per ton of grapes. Tax would affect 5,000 acres of grapes in this particular district. Would ‘suggest that it be put on imitations which are competitors of agricultural â€"inâ€" dustry. Old Kent Bond Paper is good.
