It needs the con tinued support of everyone in the area," according to Pat rick McCoy, news director of radio station KYJC in a talk before the Ashland Chamber of Commerce yesterday. He noted that Congression al authorization of the project is merely an initial step, which must be followed by appropriation of the necessary funds in order to get the proj ect under way. "Authoriza tion is just a license to go hunting," he commented. McCoy said public support is especially needed to secure congressional appropriations in concert with the time schedule worked out by the U.S. Army Corps of Engi neers and the bureau of recla mation. Working for Funds The Rogue Basin Flood Control and Water Resources association board is working now to secure $50,000 in engi neering planning money dur ing the 1963 fiscal year, which would permit a start in engineering planning, McCoy The board next is hopeful of securing an appropriation of some $365,000 planning money during fiscal 1964, which, it is hoped, would be sufficient to carry the plan ning to the point that an appropriation of construction funds could be secured during the 1965 fiscal year. If all goes well, McCoy said, the project could be completed by 1969 or 1970. McCoy was pinch hitting for Gerald Latham, Rogue Ba sin Flood Control and Water Resources board member, who was unable to attend. McCoy outlined the bene fits that could be derived from the project in the areas of flood control, irrigation, enhancement of fish and wild life, creation of a future wat er supply for municipalities, power generation and development of general rec reation. Benefit Received He listed these aresa in terms of dollars and cents of annual benefit that could be received, as follows: flood control, $1,360,000; irrigation $925,000 fish and wildlife, $1,130,200: future water sup ply, $322,700; power genera tion, $1,881,700: and general recreation, $528,000, or a to tal of 56.147,600 benefit per year from the project. The project's three dams, Lost creek, Elk creek and MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, Support Is Told Applegale, would reduce the flow of water during times of heavy rains and flooding, store the water and make it available during dry summer months, both for irrigation and city water supplies, and for increasing the river flow, The increased flow would bring about cooler summer time river water tempera tures and thereby make it more habitable for fish, he added. Some 39.000 acres of new land could be brought under irrigation, compared to the 25.000 under irrigation at present in the basin. Weather FORECASTS Medford and vicinity: Cloudy.
