That will be sufficient. I was especially interested in the proposal in connection with the draught of the boats at Wood Island. The department is going to dredge the harbour at Wood Island?

I find that

dredging is to be done at Salmon Point. Would Salmon Point and Indian Point be the same?

Mr. SENN:

Is any dredging to be done

at a small harbour called Nanticoke creek on lake Erie? The minister's officials from the London district looked over the harbour and recommended that something should be done. It was to have been done last fall. Does that work come under this vote or under some other?

Does it go

under another name? I have a list of projects in Ontario here, but I cannot find that name.

Mr. SENN:

I think that is the name. I

understand that it was impossible to get a dredge in there last fall. It was a small undertaking, and no dredge could be found to go in. It might possibly be called Sandusk.
