The board's decision came after discussion of a proposal presented by Louis Towne, power use advi sor for West Oregon Electric, giving information of stream flow in the Nehalem river taken from a report of the state water re sources committee. It was pointed out that flow in the Nehalem varies from 36,900 cubic feet per second in the win ter to a low of 77 in the summer, that extensive damage often re sults from the high water run off and that summer irrigation of farms could be increased if the flow did not drop so low. Discussion of these points by the board ana others at the meet ing led to the board’s move for the surveys which will be spon sored by the Vernonia chamber of commerce and possibly other groups here. During the early part of the meeting the soil board considered and approved four farm improve ment plans presented by Virgil Lance for places owned by J. C. Moran, O. B. Berndt, C. F. Buck- ley and J. P McFarland. Plans for the farms are worked out on the requests of owners and each shows a land use map and soils map with engineering and planning for improvements. This session was the board's first since the annual meeting and officers serving last year were renamed to their same po sitions. Jack Sather, Clatskanie, will act as chairman; M. P. Mills, Birkenfeld, vice-chairman; Wil liam Barr, Clatskanie, treasurer, and Ron Engbretson, Marshland, district secretary.
