coun- ty up to a maximum of 2000 for approved ponds in 1955 before constructing a pond farm owners must first make application to the secretary of the halton conservat ion committee namely j e whitelock of the ontario depart- raentr of agriculture milton once the proposed site has been approved by an agricultural eng ineering fieldman the farm owner nay secure whom he wishes to construct the pond once con structed and properly fenced to keep out livestock providing the pond qualifies under the halton policy the owner is then eligible to receive a grant equal to one- half of the cost but pot to exceed 100 on any one pond when discussing the matter with george currie chairman of the county conservation committee we learned that they have suffic ient money to assist with the con struction of approximately 30 ponds in 1955 those who wish to take advantage of the policy in question would jie well advised to contact the agricultural office in milton where they can secure a copy of the policy and at the same time file their request for a farm pond survey failure to make application prior to commencing construction of a pond nullifies any possibility of securing a grant or
