Re: Forestry Tower at Todd Mountain, NB
Dear Sirs:
Receipt is acknowledged of your letter of 19 February 1960
As previous correspondence for this site had been with Miramichi Lumber Co Ltd, your office may not have been aware of the fact that permission had been granted by Mr H W Becket, Secretary of the above mentioned company, for our consultant to enter on your property for the purpose of carrying out certain field surveys. The following additional details are forwarded for your information.
Our letter of 3 February was intended to deal with only the technical aspects of our proposed installation and we wish to assure you that the legal aspects, including the ownership of the tower in the event that the site is abandoned, will be dealt with at a later date by the proper authorities.
As it is anticipated that our construction and installation contracts will extend over at least two summers, it is not intended to use the existing site of your tower nor expect your tower to be dismantled until our installation is completed.
Our consultant has completed the field surveys, but our plans have not been developed to the point at which they might be conveyed to interested parties, however, as soon as they reach that stage, we will advise both the Province and your Company
Yours truly,
(JW Griffith)
Group Captain
for Chief of the Air Staff
