Critical Time for Willow Creek Project
From remarks made by Congressman Al Ullman on his
visit here Sunday, It Is apparent that this U a critical time
In the progress towards eventual construction of the Willow
Creek dam.
The next step is up to the local people who must orga
nize an Irrigation district, and this should be done with all
possible speed. Irrigation Is one of the multiple uses of the
dam and without It. the benefit-cost ratio would be too low
to make the project feasible.
By authorizing the project. Congress has gone as far as It
can until the local action Is taken. As it is understood locally,
there can be no pre-construction appropriation until the irri
gation district is underway. The Army Engineers, too, have
gone as far as they can until this important Job is done.
In January, 1966, Congress starts appropriations for proj
ects it has authorized. Apparently there is little chance of
getting an appropriation unless the matter is Introduced prior
to April. 19G6. Thus, the irrigation district here should be
formed by that time.
Progress to date on the project has been remarkable.
Spokesmen for the Army Engineers have marvelled at the
way it has moved through the rather complicated legislative
process towards authorization. But now it has reached anoth
er critical phase that requires local action.
As County Judge Paul Jones pointed out at the Heppner
Morrow County Chamber of Commerce meeting Monday, there
are many misunderstandings about the details of the proposed
irrigation, and there are still many questions to be answered.
Me said that an informational meeting- will be arranged as
oon as possible in early December, in order to answer these
questions and give authentic information.
It is important that the county court, the Chamber of
Commerce, and others interested take leadership towards for
mation of the district now.
The Willow Creek project is vital for the growth and prog
ess of southern Morrow county, and it is necessary that every
action be taken that will expedite its construction.
If the Irrigation district is underway early next year, the
pre-construction appropriation may be forthcoming the same
year. But if this is not done by April, as we understand it,
the appropriation would be delayed until at least the follow
ing year.
But probably more Important is the fact that continued
demonstration of interest on the local level is necessary to
assure culmination or tne project. IT this is not apparent, in
terest at the Congressional level will surely decline.
This is the time to go to work.
