Creeks, streams and marshes in the Whitby area have been adversely ef- fected by the situation. The creeks and streams normally offer an abundant variety of fishing but have been so de- pleted the sport is made in- operative. The council cited one area in particular, describing) the situation in regard to the) southwest borders of the town.| There is a marsh which under normal circumstances is a) haven for wild life. "This marsh is now prac- tically dry," Councillor Ed- wards stated. 'There is only a, mere vestige of water and plenty of dried mud." Unless something is done to bring back the normal level, erosion will) take mace within a few sea- sons, he added, Turning to the question of the Whitby Harbor, the councillor suggested the town gained its early importance because of this excellent harbor, Although the importance of the harbor facilities have lessened in value) to the town over the years, ships still arrive and the resultant income has been welcome.
