Joint Resolution From The Williston Township Farmer's Union Regarding Garrison Reservoir Pool Level, October 14, 1945, Williston Township Farmer's Union
William Langer Papers
This joint resolution dated October 19, 1945, from the Williston (North Dakota) Township Farmer's Union, lists several reasons why the Union is "unalterably opposed" to the operation of the pool of the Garrison Dam at a maximum level that exceeds 1830 feet above sea level. Reasons include the flooding of bottomlands, the loss of local revenue from farming, and a lack of impartial hearings conducted within the affected areas.
