Flood-control <br />projects should be con- <br />fined to upper reaches of <br />tributary streams. No <br />appropriation should <br />ever be adjudicated to <br />Narrows. <br /> <br />Dam would be excessively <br />expensive and would be <br />of very doubtful value. <br /> <br />Oppose construction <br />during times when moneys <br />and efforts should be <br />directed toward emergen- <br />cies. Loss of area for <br />the reservoir would more <br />than offset any possible <br />benefits. <br /> <br />Recommend working out a <br />plan for upstream control. <br /> <br />Recommends a program of <br />higher control and <br />storage of flood waters <br />and a main stream struc- <br />ture or series of struc- <br />tures for regulation <br />and reregulation of <br />streamflow. <br /> <br />Economy of Morgan County <br />is geared to the present <br />valuations on the assess- <br />ment rolls. Loss of taxes <br />because of relocation of <br />Union Pacific and loss <br />of land would add tax <br />burden to other taxpayers. <br />Believe the Bureau and the <br />Congress should make pro- <br />visions to reimburse <br />County for such lost <br />revenue. <br />
