Will Turn Off Niagara Falls To Repair Lip Friday, January 15, 1954
Canada and the US today took their first major step to preserve and enhance the scenic beauty of Niagara Falls. The International Niagara Board of Control announced the Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario has awarded a $1,813,149 contract to Canadian Vickers Limited. The company will build 13 bascule-type gates and operating machinery for the control structure in the Niagara at the head of the cascades about a mile above the Horseshoe Falls. The total cost of the remedial works is estimated at $17,536,000 with an estimated annual cost for maintenance and operations of $100,000. Cost of the works and the operation and maintenance will be divided equally between the two governments. To accomplish these engineering feats, the contractors will have to divert the roaring water temporarily and lay bare the lip of the Horseshoe Falls. Then workmen hanging on the brink of the 160 foot drop, must fill two sections like dental cavities and treat them to prevent their further crumbling.
