No Ment'on Made of Dorena
Dam in the Appropriation
Made.
COTTAGE GROVE DAM IS
NOT AFFECTED
Whether five of the seven dams
under the Willamette valley flood
control project will be sidetracked
for national defense measures is a
mooted question. The issue has not
been decided by congress despite
a press report yesterday, which
may lead the public to believe
otherwise. Engineers in the dis­
trict office at Eugene say they
know nothing more than what is
contained in the press dispatches.
Army engineers recommended
an appropriation of approximately
$2,700,000 for the construction of
the Dorena dam. but thia item was
not specifically mentioned in the
announcement yesterday that a
bill of $300.272.228 has been ap­
propriated for civic functions of
the war department including
$10,000 for the maintenance of the
Fern Ridge reservoir and $50.000
for the operation and care of the
locks at Oregon City.
The Cottage Grove dam will
not be affected. The money is in
the hank for the completion of
this job. engineers said, so con­
struction will proceed to comple­
tion on this job.
First work scheduled for the
Dorena dam is the relocation of
the highways and railroad, if the
project receives the appropriation.
