Six Hundred Feet of Stone Wall Being Laid to Save Duffield Property; Bank Washed A way up to Verandah

~~-

PORT .STANLEY, Sept. 7.-, iAbaut 500 feet of stone wall Is be-1lng laid along the beach In front

lot the Duffield property at thd cast end of Orchard Beach, where the bank is washed away up to the verandah of the beautiful summer t·eside'nce, despite the. piling which had been driven along the beach In an effort to stay the encroaching waters of Lake Erie.

The federal gdvtrrnment, under whose dl.spensatlon this furm of public work is carried on, Is en­deavoring to build a protecting ~ wall of stone that will, It Is hoped, withstand tho buffeting of heavy sons that pre'Vall during the fall season. and for several weelts men J

have been engaged In trucking quantities of stone to that vicin­Ity from the L & P. S. Tht' stone comes from the quarries at Queens­ton and is taken In trucks over the hill. where It Is banked along ] the piling which Is already then!. These hugoblocl<s of stone, some of which weigh a ton ur more, are loaded at the station under the dl­re'Ctlon Qf Fred Pollock, over 2,000 1

Several years ago the residents 1 Curther west on Orchard Beach

were conft·onted by a sirr.dlat• prob- J !em, the bank caving away to such an exte!lt that owners In some cases were obliged to movo their houses back to prevent th~m top­pling over the bank. Now, whe­ther from tho lower lake level. which has left a wider beach, or lt·om a posslblet change In tho cur­rent due to the breakwater, condi­tions on that part of the beach are nil that could be desired, and no more Ideal 11pot could be found for a bummer hornet.

It Is a tremendous task to handle these huge blocks ot stCIIle and It Is hoped that when the wall Is fln­l!!hed It will be strong enough to withstand any sea that may pre­vall.

The Duffield residence now sl.s\nds on the edge ot the bank and Immediate action was necessary to protect It from possible! damage should there be any further erCJ­sion,
