Through the enactment of the Grand River Act in 1938, the Grand River Conservation Com- mission was empowered to estab- lish a series of water storage and flood control dams. The Shand Dam near Fergus was completed in 1942; however, one dam was not sufficient, and the Luther Marsh Dam was com- pleted in 1952. Work is scheduled to start this month on a third dam on the Conestogo River near Glen Allan. The work of the conservation commission is merely hydraulic.

SET UP BRANCH | The provincial government set up the Department of Planning and Development, with its con- servation branch, in 1944, The function of this branch is to co- ordinate conservation work throughout southern Ontario and in 1946 the Conservation Author- ities Act was passed, enabling the municipalities of a watershed to set up an authority with powers to regulate the renewable natural] resources of the watershed. | Since 1951, three new author-| ities have been established, Cat-' fish Creek, Middle Maitland and Upper Holland Rivers. These watersheds bring the total num- ber of authorities to 15, many of which have conservation projects under way. The field survey of a watershed by the conservation branch is divided into six sections: Soils, forestry, wildlife, historical, hy- draulics and recreation. The sofls section studies soil types, slope and erosion and from these studies devises a recom- mended land use classification which is then applied to the watershed. The recommended uses may vary from no restrictive measures through contouring, | grassed waterways, restricted ro- tation and winter cover crops, to permanent begetative cover of trees or grass. J.
