Chamber plans U.S. Midland will have a higher profile at northern U.S. border crossings in 1988. The Huronia Tourist Association will increase distribution of HTA, and HTA member, brochures at border crossings. Midland Chamber of Com- merce general manager Carol Baker said as many as 20,000 of next year's run of 75,000 Midland Chamber of Commerce brochures will be distributed at border cross- ings. 'The U.S. market is a publicity real good market - one we want to tap into," The Huronia Tourist Association this year on a small scale hired a person to keep brochure racks at border crossings full. The Midland Chamber of Commerce hopes to in- crease its profile in the U.S. The Chamber is going to be represented in late October at the Canadian Market Tourism Show in New York state. The major em- phasis of the display will be"= tourism. Water weakness is highlighted Midland's water supply and storage system might not be adequate in case of a major fire. So says Fire Underwriters Survey. The company inspected the town's water supply facilities and distribution system in June, 1986. The report was received last month. This month the town's public safety committee noted improvements to the _ water delivery system underway this year, such as new wells, and a storage tank which will be con- structed in Midland's west end, where much of the home construction in the town is underway. "The management and operation of both the water supply facilities and distribution system by the Midland Public Utilities Commission appears to be good. The maintenance program carried also ap- pears to be generally good," Fire Underwriters Survey concluded.
