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.
County Aid Plan Told
"We do not feel that this will
throw the entire load on the
Forest Service since Morrow
county was preparing prelimin
ary plans for initial develop,
ment of sanitary and other fa
cilities to conform to a previous
agreement between the county
and the State Game Commis
sion.
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.
