Cool weather has affected agr. crops Ganaraska will continue conservation area work The Watershed committee of the Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority had proposed that the authority turn over maint ainance of conservation areas to those municipalities in which the' areas were located. The proposal proposal was defeated at a general meeting of the authority'last week with the result the Ganaraska will continue continue to maintain such areas. The program of cutting grass and maintaining the conservation areas has cost the Authority some $20,000 annually in the past and as pointed out by Diane Hamre, Town of Newcastle representative representative this money could amount upwards of $40,000 if used for conservation pur poses. ■ Strong opposition to the proposed move came from Go bourg , where the Ganaraska maintains a sizeable park in the east end of the Town east of the County offices. The proposal would have also affected a park in the Town of Port Hope and others such as the Thorne's Park Conservation area in the Town of Newcastle where the authority maintains a park lot. The Authority, is however, to continue monitoring the cost of maintaining the conservation conservation areas and if costs rise too great further consideration consideration could be given to the turn-over policy.
