. " round W aterloo .Vote For The Candidate of Your Choice - wr VOTE AUG. 10 W magnum is to be commended for his descnplmn of the PUC bus ttups In Kitchener and Waterloo. The magistrate': description is not only adequate but presents a true picture of a transportatmn concern taking up the best part of downtown parking areas for "landing" their buses. If the bus company drivers are only half as good as the company would have the public believe, they could park their vehicles 1n less than a mud me room now allowed them. During a recent tnal the magis- trate Brat called the bus stops ’landmg strips", and then later. “barium: strips", lung enough to 1315 the Queen Mary, Kitchener has an acute parking problem. Waterloo Is developing one Why then should the buses be allowed to monopolize three and tour times as much space as there ts, any need tor. Esther the councils have slipped badiy or the bus company otticials are more clever than they are given credit tor.

Vol. . ' No. a It was also pointed out by this column that a number of small uams would be beneficial not only In flood control, but also to save topsod and conserve fish and game. Neither of these are new thoughts. Back at 1948 the idea was brought up and 1t was sug- hasten! that Waterloo Council take eottle action on the matter. In the same year, thus ctty made appli- Lattun to the then newly formed Grand River Authority, but were told that the Authority had so much work ahead of them mak- xng surveys of the large water- sheds such as the Grand and the Nah, that they had no ttme to be uothered with anything as small at, the waterways affecting Water- loo. At the time it was true. They were Just about that busy and it they had taken Waterluo's prob- lem ante; consideration, they would have been besieged by ev- cry small hamlet having a stream 'qnrunhl thruugh it.

To do a top job of fiood control, there should be a series uf these small dams but they should be {ruined empty or nearly so. Flash floods and heavy rains till areas even as large as Silver Lake with incredible speed. To have "dry" dams would entail a con- siderable expenditure, for the av- erage farmers would have little love for the City digging holes in his property from which he would get neither money nor pleasure. The only other answer is to build each dam considerably lar- get than would be needed to sup- ply a small area for the farmer or land owner to use for swim- ming or fishing, Then in the event (if flash floods or continuous hen- vy rams the dams would have considerable carrying capacity, but even then would have to be supervised from a central point to Insure their remaining at a safe carrying capacity, There seems little doubt that any farmer or land owner with a treek on Ins property would be more than glad to allow the build.

Seepage from the pond would also insure moisture m hts farm land, Such a pond would be a di- rect contribution to conservation, but would be of little use as flood control. Pew people having such .lf farmers and land owners cuuld be convinced to allow the congtruchon of dams In such a mlnner that a! all times they were capable of taking about dou- ble their retained caper-1y in Bood walor. then they would be of real value In thood control, and a pond woutd"carir to have it be- low top carrymg (speedy and would likely ream n that way unless there was an agreement to tht coptr*rr J.HS _s; THE WATERLOO CHRONICLE Frankie and Judy are a Cou- ple of happy kids these days-en- Juying every moment of their young lives.
