Dam Report Due In '62, Warne Says MOUNT SHASTA - Analysis of data compiled through field stu dies of the proposed Box Can yon Dam will continue this year and a final report will be issued In the spring of 1962, William E Warne, Department of Water Re sources director, announced today A comprehensive recreation use survey of the Mount Shasta-Duns muir area was begun and in quiries conducted into every pos sible purpose and phase of the proposed Box Canyon develop ment. Carroll M. Hamon, Department of Water Resources engineer, who directed the field work this sum mer and fall, has closed the Mount; Shasta office and will continue! his work in Sacramento. The final report on Box Canyon Dam proposal will include results of stream flow measurements, flood damage survey, present wa ter requirements and use, geo graphic exploration and aerial photography. Every economic jus tification for construction of the dam will be explored, Hamon ex plained. Estimated costs of construc tion will be balanced against pos sible benefits in analysis of in formation gathered in this seven month field study. If the project is detei-mincd to be feasible, recommendations can be made on a legislative level as to whether or not it should be undertaken as a stale, federal, private or local project. The survey has had the support cf Randolph Collier of Yrcka, state senator, and Pauline Davis of Portola, assemblywoman. The dam is regarded by Duns- muir and Mount Shasta cham bers of commerce as a fine recre ational possibility. That high wa ters which occasionally cause a flood threat to Dunsmuir could be partially controlled through con struction of the dam is another argument advanced locally. In announcing the closing of the field office, Warne said, "we wish to thank landowners and oth ers who cooperated in assisting the department in its studies. By helping us to do our job prompt ly and as economically as pos sible, they have rendered I val uable public service." The dam site is abqut three miles southwest of Mount Shasta. Here the Sacramento River en ters a narrow canyon that could be blocked by a comparatively short span of concrete or curlh. Stability and sub-surface com position of the cliffs that jut into the canyon were included In the geological surveys. Shorelines were also determined according to Abe exact location of two dam sites and at several heights. These shorelines have ben projected upon a contour! map so possible inundation sta tistics can be included in the re port. PAGE 11 HKRALD AND NEWS. Klamath Falls, Ore.

The committee's report said S5 billion should be spent in the next 20 years on dams and water: and sewer facilities with coopera tion of federal, state, local and non-public groups. This must be done, the report said, to keep up with the nation's rapidly growing need for water. The committee had these rec ommendations: The government, working close ly with the states, should prepare and maintain plans for compre hensive water resource develop ment and management for all major river basins in the nation by 1970. To stimulate participation in these plans, federal grants total ing $50 million in 10 years should be made to the states for water resource planning. Federal scientific research pro- Crams dealing with water such as desalting and cloud seeding should be coordinated and expand ed in order to develop new tech niques for coping with growing needs. The government should make regular assessments of the water GLENDALE, Calif. tUPD-Offi-isupply-demand outlook for each WASHINGTON (AP) - Once, the scene of bitter waterhole feuds, the west is where a broad, new struggle for water must be undertaken If me nation is to sur- e, a special Senate committee declared Saturday. 'Dry spigots and foul water can be as deadly to our survival as rain of enemy bomb.5," thei committee warned.

Unless ways are found to insure the wise use of every drop of water, the committee chairman. Sen. Robert S.

This would include $42 billion for new city and industrial sew age works and $12 billion for new dams and reservoirs. Sen. Gale McGee, D-Wyo., said in supplemental views that the west "is one of the greatest re maining repositories in the world of mineral wealth. "It is also the one major sec tion of the United States which has not yet fulfilled the promise which these riches imply. We have room for the burgeoning population of America, and if we develop our water resources we can support this population." McGee said the reclamation bureau had prepared a list of more than 1,000 dams which could be built in the west.
