Hords Creek—
iConUnaed from Page 1)
1, It Is believed that If the bill re-
ceives an early passage, construction
will start on the Hord creek dam
long before July l.
There is a possibility that the
army engineers might have enough
equipment to come in and take over
the construction of the dam. pro-
viding they do not have too many
other committments, but It is more
likely that the contracts will be
awarded to some civilian firm.
Preliminary work in soil testing
has been going on for some time
now at the dam site, preparatory to
construction, as the army engineers
were confident that the Coleman
project would receive the appropri-
ation because of its high priority
and seniority.

posed reservoir.
