A geologist was asked to assess the situation and make recommendations
concerning the slope stability and hazards caused by falling rock behind
the residence of Ronald Dunford of Francois. In the past homes had been
struck by large stones on at least three ocassions. In the Spring of
1973 a large stone tore off the power metre and knocked a large hole in
the skirting around the footing of the house. A second stone struck the
the northwest corner damaging the outside corner of the bedroom. In June
or July 1973 a home was struck on the skirting dislodging one of the
concrete shores.
