1 Complaint of George Reed re Creek Channel SW- 16- 31 -22 -4.
Present- Mr Geo Reed and Mr. Francis Reed
Mr Ron Hilton, Water Resources
Councillors Schmelke, Church and Ferguson
G. G. King and Ted Paquette
The Ghost Pine Creek had taken a new course between Geo Reeds
and his fathers, results in a short turn near Geo Reeds and
scouring of the bank No proff of cause but it appeared to have
been a normal consequence of high water and some silting of
the old channel, erosion could become serious
One solution would be a fairly major change of the channel to
the NE to keep xxkkx water further to the north.
Mr Hilton agreed to get a centre line profile for the channel
diversion and to give details to both Geo Reed and M D
No decision was made and no promises given re costs, etc
Following inspections by Church, Schmelke, Paquette and King
