Federal Bureau Denies Approval Of Impoundment (Continued from page 1) tion by the State Game Com mission for acquisition and de velopment of these sites in the National Forests. "It la the feeling of the Court that there must be a mlsunder standing somewhere between the various agencies and the Bureau of Outdoor Recreation that might possibly be resolved.

With matching money to gether with County and State funds available to us under the marine act of 1965, the total ex penditures of all these funds would have been approximately $350,000 over a 25-year period. This would not have Included money from fees on the camp grounds as they were develop ed, which has been estimated to be at least $100,000 over the same period. "The Park Committee and County Court had, In addition, expressed their willingness to turn these camp grounds to the Forest Service, at any early stage of development, at such time as they wished to assume responsibility for them." The county park committee, Chamber of Commerce, Game Commission and others had de voted considerable attention to the possibility of the projects. Last year all agencies, includ ing the Forest Service, were rep resented on a tour of the sites and all seemed cooperative and favorable at that time. The Bureau of Outdoor Recre ation obtains its funds through the Golden Eagle program in which users of Federal recrea tion areas pay fees for doing so.
