One
of the most pressing issues facing the Maritime Marshland Reclamation
Commission was the fragmented nature of property-holding on the marshlands.
In this letter, the chairman of the Commission offers advice to the
newly-incorporated Tantramar West Body of Marsh committee on the question
of title for the land on which dykes are situated, noting that the
marsh body is given power of expropriation under the new legislation.
Such steps were significant in overcoming the microscale approaches
taken on the marsh through the former Commissioners of Sewers and offered
the possibility of large scale marsh dyking and drainage. |
