The Canadian Chargé ( Mahoney ) to the Secretary of State
Sir: I have the honour to refer to Mr. Massey’s note No. 64, of the 5th April, 1928,35 in which the divergent views of the two sections of the Joint Board of Engineers as to the best method of meeting the engineering problems involved in the development of the international rapids section of the St. Lawrence River was referred to, and in which His Majesty’s Government in Canada indicated its intention to arrange a conference between the Canadian section of the Joint Board, and engineers representing the Province of Ontario, preparatory to reconsideration of the engineering problems in this section by the whole Joint Board.
Acting upon instructions from the Secretary of State for External Affairs, I have the honour to transmit to you herewith copy of a report of the Canadian members of the Joint Board of Engineers, and of engineers representing the Province of Ontario, upon the international rapids section of the St. Lawrence River.36
I expect that at an early date I shall be in a position to transmit to you plates giving the plans in detail.
I am further instructed to inform you that the Canadian members of the Joint Board of Engineers will be prepared to participate, at the earliest convenient opportunity, in further consideration of the engineering problems in this section of the St. Lawrence River.
I have [etc.]
