Logging will soon by halted by deep snow and will be resumed in the coming spring, when weather and road . conditions permit. Caterpillars and other heavy equipment were moved last month to the road building site from Woodlcaf, California, where the Fishers recently completed a log ging contract.

Clyde Maupin was left here in charge in Fisher's absence. The second logging contract is at Minersville, 20 miles southeast of Redding, where Thomas Fish er is superintendent. Logging at both sites is being done for the U.S. Plywood Company of Red ding; The Fisher business office is also located at Redding.

However, Cecil C. Clark of Wapato, president of the. Wash ineton Stale Reclamation Assn charged the proposal on the grounds lhat freedom of restraint on the five-member corporation board and its manager could lead to "one-man rule and dictator ship." Agreement in principle was ex pressed by Dean Barline, director of utilities for the City of Tacoma. But Barline criticized two provi sions in the contemplated bill. He said the section giving the corporation power to condemn utilities could be misused. He also objected to the provision giving .the corporation manager permission to allocate power to chosen areas under the board's jurisdiction. This would be a re versal of the present Bonneville Power Administration regulation which grants public utility corpor ations first call on power. Others who opposed the plan in cluded Donald H. Thompson of Port Orchard, representing the South Kitsap Chamber of Com merce: Galen Wiley, executive secretary of Ihe'Washington State Farm Bureau; C. David Gordon.
