It WiII Take Eight Weeks to Complete this,$ 1 80,000 Job This bulldozer is busy cheaning the ice and snow off what is left of an old wooden pier at Bowrnanville harbour. The wooden pier deteriorated many years ago, leaving a Stone foundation at the ýwter level. The federal government is spending $180,000 to build a breakwater construction on the old foundation. This wall of stone will extend out into Lake Ontario as far as the already existing wall on the west, which extends out to the lihthouse. The two breakwaterwalls will serve two purposes according to Irv GuI, owner-operator, of Port Darlington Boat Basin. They will ereate calm water for boats entering the Bowmanville Harbour, and keep the harbour from silting in.
