CHAINS ON THE CANAL BANK AS SAFETY MEASURE

PERSONS FALLING IN WATER WILL BE ABLE TO GRAB LINKS

[The Welland-Port Colborne Evening Tribune, 7 November 1931]

The Tribune was informed today that the safety chains now being erected on the west bank of the canal north of the Main street lift bridge would be approximately 15 feet apart, and that in time they would be erected on both the east and west banks of the canal. This will make it comparatively easy for those who happen to fall into the canal to save themselves, it was pointed out, the chains being so set that they can be easily reached by those in the water.
