Thoroughly Modern Hrt. J. E. Earler Jot Earlrr Jr. Proprietor! Veatcb said the chamber Initi ated a survey in 1953 on the county's lodgepole or Jackpine re sources. Results of this survev were sent to manufacturers ail over the U.S. The Johns-Manville Corporation was one ot these firms. Klamath County was picked as the location of the mill after ex tensive study by engineers and Industrial consultants of the com pany. These studies determined that Klamath County was the feas ible location for the mill because of the, avallibility of water, raw materials and distribution, Veatch stated. "The going was rough," Veatch said, "because the company wanted to own a large acre&ce of jackpine before it would consider locating the plant here. The chamber compiled an ownership iisi oi privately owned lands and began getting options for the com pany. Ultimately, Ihe board of di rectors of , Johns-Manville waived that requirement and purchased some 257 acres where the William son River crosses U.S. Highway 97 for a plant site." Johns-Manville plans to start con. structlon of the estimated 12 mil lion dollar plant in the near future with production slated for the sum mer of 1957. About 250 persons will be employed in the mill under present plans, Veatch said. Also at the chamber director's meeting, William Huggins, mana ger of the Klamath Falls branch of the U.S. National Bank, pre sented a plaque to Grassman of the Year Lloyd Gift of Bonanza, The plaque is in addition to a cash .award presented earlier by the bank's Portland branch.
