The cours*, 5.6 miles in length, has been set out on the Cataraqui golf course. Cross country races have been run on this course for a number Acknowledging that there is little chance of any grants from the federal government in Ottawa, the new pn‘)'posal is based on the hope that the Ontario governâ€" ment can be persuaded to contriâ€" bute 75 percent of the cost. Represxntatives of the 74 munâ€" Hcipalities in the river valley will be asked to endorse the proposal at a general meeting to be held Nov. 7 at the Holiday Inn, Hesâ€" peler. Authority chairman James S. Bauer of Waterioo said the new proposal puts the onus on the provincial government to get the dam program started. of years. "We have to do something or forget about it," he said. ‘"But before we go to the province and ask for this amount of money, the municipalities will have to show their willingness to back the proâ€" gram by paying their share." The new plan has been put forâ€" ward by the authority‘s water eontrol advisory board, headed by R. K. Pequegnat of Kitchener. It stands a good chance of being supported by Kitchener, acâ€" cording to J. R. Darrah, city coâ€" erdinator, who is a member of the water control advisory board. Darrah led opposition to a preâ€" vious plan, presented to the general membership in Febâ€" ruary, which would have resulted in memberâ€"municipalities paying 40 percent of the total cost ~1d the Ontario government the reâ€" mainder. _ 200 Io tw In preparation for this year‘s Oâ€"QAA championship, some chanâ€" ges have been made in the route that the runners must follow. The route now includes more bills than was previously the ease. The inclusion of the addiâ€" tional hills makes it a more difâ€" ficult course. Even though the general meetâ€" ing voted to start buying land for the five dams, the authority has delayed making a move because "We‘ve been working hard on our hill work," said head coach Mike Houston. "Our team is in good shape. We should be in the thick of the battle for the title." Houston has announced that his team will consist of the fol. lowing seven runners: Dan Anâ€" derson, Jon Arnett, Paul Pearâ€" zon, Dave Northey, Péete Olver, Harriers head for Kingston Open Daily 8 l.fl:‘fo‘_S:” p.m,. _ __â€" Saturday Till Noon Free Estimatesâ€"Free Delivery REC ROOM 358 King North at Columbia Phone 742â€"8111 WATERLOO WOOD SHELVING MATERIALS Mark Roberts and Paul Pearson.

The new proposal contains upâ€" toâ€"date estimates for building the dams. Pequegnat said long delays have been experienced in startâ€" ing work on the dams, mainly beâ€" cause the authority has been hopâ€" ing for the federal government to agree to contribute 37% perâ€" cent of the cost, to match the provincial contribution. Originally estimated to cost $30,000,000 at 1966 prices, the five dams and the land needed for them are now estimated to cost If the province agrees to put up 75 percent of this cost, the 74 memberâ€"municipalities will have to contribute $1,050,000 over a 15â€" year period starting in 1970. Costs are shared according to a formula based on benefits received from the dams. The new plan calls for an imâ€" mediate start on buying land and building a dam at West Montâ€" rose and buying land for the reâ€" maining afour dams at Guelph, Ayr, Everton and Hespeler. Bauer said the new cost estiâ€" mates emphasize the need to make an early start on the dams, particularly on buying the land needed. "Costs are going up by more than 10 percent a year," he said. "The land alone is going up that much. "We have been standing still," he said. "Perhaps now we can arrive at some concensus on how to get the project moving again." Saskatchewan will probably reâ€" present the WICAA again this year. The Warriors would like to have another opportunity to meet them. Oxford Deadstock Removal Ltd.

Needless to savy the Warâ€" riors, who are out of the runâ€" ning for the year, will be doing all in their power to spoil the Redmen‘s chance for the title. "We‘re anxious to finish the year with a 43 record." said head coach Wally Delahey. "Our offense came up with its best game of the year against McMasâ€" ter last weekend. We‘ll be tryâ€" ing to keep our fine edge for our game with the Redmen." The Redmen are coached by Tom Mooney, no stranger to footâ€" ball fans.
