Oprea said the company
has every intention of
opening the planned 7500
acre lake to the public for
recreational purposes. But,
he said, the final decision
rests with the Atomic En-
ergy Commission. Oprea
said the AEC has always
encouraged such lakes to
be opened to the public and
he sees no reason why the
federal agency would
change now.

E. Hill, Everett Tomlinson
of Sealy, and Charlie Mar-
ik of Bellville were in
Austin last week to appear
before the Texas Parks and
Wildlife Department Com-
mission. They were joined
there by George W. Hill of
Austin, who was spokes-
man for the delegation ap-
pearing in behalf of the
log cabin construction in
Stephen F. Austin Park.
The commission meeting
was headed by Jade Stone
of Wells and the county
group received a nice re-
ception. They returned
home with the news that
the building now under
construction in the historic
area of Stephen F. Austin
State Park at San Felipe,
to replace the old round
log cabin which was torn
down, will not be com-
pleted there. The building
is to be moved and erected
in another area of the
park for other purposes. A
round log cabin will even-
tually be built in the park
to represent the Stephen
F. Austin era, and a copy
of the type of house he
lived in.
