Re: Forestry Tower near Belleterre, PQ
Dear Sirs:
Receipt is acknowledged of your letter of 5 February 1960. 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 Association.
The question of interference with your radio communication will be investigated and you will be advised further on this matter.
Yours truly,
(JW Griffith)
Group Captain
for Chief of the Air Staff
