Resolution From Watford City Association Of Commerce Regarding Garrison Dam Pool Level, Undated, Leland M. Stenehjem, Erven W. Day

William Langer Papers

This resolution that is undated, from the Board of Directors of the Watford City (North Dakota) Association of Commerce, argues that a pool level of 1850 feet behind the Garrison Dam will "imperil or destroy" the Lewis and Clark and Buford-Trenton irrigation projects, thus resulting in permanent loss of productions from effected agricultural units, as well as the displacement of many farm families, whereas a pool height of 1830 feet will result in less destruction without interfering with the primary purpose of power generation and water storage.

For these reasons, the Board of Directors, "respectfully urges the joint session of …

The Noble Brothers And Early Public Improvements In Indiana, Ruth Esther Amos

Graduate Thesis Collection

The years from 1810 to 1840 deal with one of the most decisive periods in Indiana's history, first as a territory and later as a state.

Great national political movements were in the making. These matured into powerful forces, shaping not only national …
