A few years ago, the docking space was extended, and a granite marker with a bronze plaque, suitably inscribed - to the memory of the late Hon. Hayden Stanton, our local Nember of Parliament, was erected there. Since then it has been known as the Hayden Stanton Wharf and has been a source of pride to local residents. ' Until recently, it was about 125 feet long and was a very busy spot during the summer months. This past few years has seen an increasing number of boats, both large and small, mooring there. This has been a decided advantage to the Village. Now, however, the actual length of the wharf has been diminished con- siderably leaving much less mooring space for incoming boats and cruisers. The older section has been removed and the space filled in by boulders and topped off with crushed stone. This only leaves about 75 feet (one side) of actual docking space which is totally inadequate. -Besides this, the appearance of the dock has been drastically changed. True, the newer section has been improved and for this we are thankful, but the older section has been left in a most unattractive state. Old beams and piles have been left there in a heap in front of the Stanton Marker, messy to say the least! Every small town such as ours needs every possible improvement it can acquire in order to attract tourists. The condition of our dock in its present state, in my opinion, will only discourage this. It is hoped that local residents will make our objections known, by protesting to the proper authorities or contacting our Member of Parliament. The condition of our wharf must be rectified if we are to continue attracting tourists to our village. The wharf should have been lengthened instead of shortened, and the unsightly mess around it cleaned up. The time to do this is before the next tourist season, so that our guests arriving by boat may find a neat and attractive wharf with plenty of room to moor their craft. l W._\,
