A plan was prsented to control the flood waters on the lower Green, T River,
by dredging the river to a width of 150' making it navagatable for barge traffic
as far up the river as Orillia. Estimated cost would be 7.9/10 million doj_lars.

level of the river, so the other recourse i.s to leave the river as is, with certain
improvements, to the ditches, straightening the curves and the pumping the water
from the low areas into the channel. It was also pointed out by the r' =_rmy 2ngineers
