Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Twenty-Fifth Annual Report of the Commissioners for the Queen Victoria Niagara Falls Park, 1910 To the Honourable John Morison Gibson, K.C., LL.D., Lieutenant-Governor of the Province of Ontario. May it Please Your Honour: The Twenty-fifth Annual Report of the Commissioners for the Queen Victoria Niagara Falls Park (being for the year 1910) is herewith submitted, together with the usual statement of Receipts and Expenditures, including payments for the construction of the Niagara River Esplanade. The work of the year is fully detailed in the report of the Park Superintendent, which will be found in the Appendix, together with the text of contracts, agreements and other official documents. The Board of Commissioners, comprising six members at the date of the last Annual Report, was increased to seven by the appointment of Mr. James D. Chaplin, of St. Catharines, under Order-in-Council dated September 9th, 1910. Ontario Power Company´s Spillways. At the opening of the year the Commissioners were called upon to consider and determine the location and design for the spillway buildings required for the two remaining pipes or conduits of the Ontario Power Company, one of which is now under construction and the other not yet commenced. Under the Pipe Line and Power House Agreement, dated 28th February, 1903, it is provided among other things that "the location of the overflow or regulating device for pipe No. 1 on the map attached is approved by the Commissioners, but the design and method of constructing the same and the location and design of the overflows Nos. 2 and 3 shall be submitted for the approval of the Commissioners and shall not be proceeded with until such approval is obtained." In furtherance of this Agreement, the Power Company submitted plans showing structures placed immediately in front of the Administration Building, which, if approved of and had the buildings been proceeded with, would not only have obstructed to a most objectionable extent the magnificent view of the Falls and the lower Gorge from the spacious verandahs on both floors of the Administration Building, but would also seriously encroach on the beautiful pleasure grounds in front of the Administration Building, which, from the physical formation of the Park at that crucial point, are already too congested. The situation was further complicated by the statement of the Company´s Engineers claiming that certain technical advantages would be gained by having the spillways and the regulating devices connected therewith at or near the terminus of each conduit.
