IX MTOFOHD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Sunday, June 26, 1955 'Partnership' Plan Praised by Speaker At Dam Dedication Eugene -XU.tt Partnership construction of Pacific North west dams was described Sat urday as "one of the most excit ing solutions" to the region's wa ter problem by George E. Rod erick, Assistant Secretary of the Army. Speaking before a crowd of thousands at the dedication of the Corps of Engineers' Lookout Point Dam, Roderick said "part nership seems to offer an ad mirable formula for joint neces sary federal and local effort in the realization of our great water-resources potentialities." Augments U. S. Funds Roderick recalled that "we have to spend 85 per cent of our national budget on things relat ing to defense." He added that "by allowing private interests to handle that part of the project that will serve private needs, we can make our federal dollars go much further, augmented by pri vate resources." "Unless we want to imperil our national security, or raise taxes to ruinous heights, we have got to make our money do more work for us in this way, he said. Roderick told the audience gathered along the Willamette river that the Eisenhower ad ministration had allocated be tween 33 and 40 per cent of its Corps of Engineers construction budget to the Columbia river basin projects. Hop for More "Through partnership," he said, "we hope to accomplish even more here than this already MOW ACME HARDWARE Mtt yn HimiOVE tf KNUR JM II tT CRUMI itnw MM ro cash mm BP TO 24 MONTHS TO PAY!

Eugene (U.R) Rep. Harris Ellsworth (R-Ore.) Saturday said three more Willamette valley dams are urgently needed to take care of the "amazing in crease in population," in the area Lists Three Dams The Oregon Republican, in a speech prepared for delivery at ceremonies dedicating Lookout Point Dam near here, named the three dams as the Cougar, Green Peter and Hills Creek projects "In all frankness, however,'1 he warned, "there seems to be less likelihood of appropriatons for the next three dams in our Willamette Basin program being made at the same rate we have enjoyed thus for." Well Treated Ellsworth said, the valley's flood control project "has been very well treated by Congress The gederal government has spent $180,033,000 to date on the five dams in the valley Lookout Point Dam was the latest to be built. Ellsworth said he was "dead sure" that the three proposed Willamette Valley dams would receive preference from the ap propriations committee of Con gress over many other similar nroiects "if and when" local money was ready to back one- third of the dam s total cost.
