Piecemeal Approach
5 There is a feeling J ; i among some farmers $ ; J whose properties border ; ; Lake Ellesmere that the ; ; s present approach of ; ; individual farmers to ; j protection of their land ; » by building their own ■> J stopbanks is costly and ; s often unnecessary. It is » s claimed that a single J s hank strategically placed Ji i might obviate the need Ii for a series of individual '[ I banks. ' I Mr A. T. Bell, chairman J of the drainage and rivers ' J control committee of the ; ; North Canterbury Catch- ' ment Board, said this ; J week that it was up to ; j farmers to approach the. ; j hoard. Where individual ; s farmers did this and pro- ; i vided that the design of ; ' their banks conformed s s with engineering stan- J s dards, and did not inter- I i fere with drainage they > J would be approved and if I t necessary the board would J J recommend that they J J qualify for a subsidy. J ; However, if farmers liked ' J to act jointly in seeking ; ; protection then the board ; j would also look into this. ; Vzzzzzzzz/zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz?
