"It would seem advisable for too responsible for such facil Hies to review other areas on public lands away from the future press of development and navigable waters, where grow ing conditions are good and water Impoundable for perma nent Fish and Wildlife manage ment. We are concerned about the practicability and compat ibility of permanent FUh and wildlife management with that of industrial development, mis sile and rocket testing, navy and other supersonic aircraft aciiv. Hies. The raising and lowering of the pools, the ever -Increased barge traffic, and the wake of the water vehicles disturbing wildlife cannot be altogether compatible. The ever-Increasing future press of development Is on a river that Colonel Clark of the Corps of Engineers said would be lined with Industry at suitable locations, which are very limited on the 3J0 miles of the Columbia River. "We of Morrow county feel that we have furnished our share of non taxable facilities, are willing to host a fair and reasonable portion of wildlife facilities but would be extreme- ly pleased to share this much needed activity with other areas. We feel that 12 miles of our very important waterfront Is too much. Morrow county Is now furnishing 50.000 acres for a United States Navy bombing range. 8.600 acres for an armv ordnance depot, and 140.000 acres of forest land, bcinz tax free, and 100.000 acres for the state-owned Space Age Indust- ...-t Mt) woj1 t- las free and then )-.parluf M mllea of estrrtnely mirtant watrr fron tage.

"No one can deny that pub lic accesses to the pools or pres-1 ent ann expanded future use should be purchased at reason able Intervals along the pools, but full control of ownership and management are question able.
