We leave the <br />selection of the exact site to qualified men in the fields of irrigation, flood <br />control and reclamation. However, we do believe that the dam should be built at <br />the site which is most feasible from both an economic sta.l1dpoint and an engineeri11g <br />standpoint. lie further believe that the dam should be located at a site which will <br />bring lDaJtimum economic benefits to communites downstr9am from the dam. <br /> <br />In conclusion, we believe that such a dam would i.CJ.llleasurably aid the continued <br />economic growth and progress of Sterling and Logan County. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br />Albert ::'. Howe, Secy-j~gr. <br />STEj(LING CHAMBER OF COiilijil(CE <br />
