DAM BILL MAY
. GEfFAY0RABLE
CONSIDERATION | ) !
Congressman Burtnes S s
Writes About Proposed
Red River Project.

Congressman o. B. Burtness, in
communication to The Herald, this
morning, states that he has received
notice from the war department that
1t knows, of no objection TO the favor
able consideration of the bill granting
the consent of congress to the cities
of East Grand Forks and Grand
Forks for the construction Of a dam
across the Red river.
This bill was introduced by Mr..
Burtness, and he states that he hopes
soon to get hearing on the bill be-.
fore the committee of Interstate and
Foreign commerce..
Though for more than 20 years the
Red River of the. North has been a
non-nayigable stream. 1t has never
been officially listed az such. and 1t Is
necessary to get the consent of con-
,gress before the construction Of dams
or bridges with stationary spans,
could be attempted. @ r,
4 Wineman Interested.
I Several years ago the question, Of
building q dam across the Rec s.s;stver
sssk agEaken up. sresifents both here and
Tia East Grand Forks backing the
project. Two years ago, Attorney J.
3. iWineman, who has devoted, coh-
siderable time and interest to the
~
itiorf that was Intro Qduced into the state
legislature, by Senator w. 8. Whit
man Of Grand Forks, and was passed.
This resolution asked that congress
declare the RED River Of the North
u non navigable stream, in order to
permit of the construction Of a dam.
and otherwise to improve the stream.
The purpose of such dam, at this
point, as shown In the resolutio1s
which Mr.. Wineman prepared were
three-fold: To provide q source Of
water supply for the, city when the
river gets low, particularly during the
summer months: to provide electric
power. for industries here, and to
beautify the streamHfor pleasure pur-
poses. :
It was pointed out, also, that If the
river were declared non -navigable, it
would permit Of tho construction OF
bridges with stationary spans. instead
Of lift spans or draw bridges, which
would save thousands Of dollars in the
construction Of such bridges, and also
would tend to promote traffic between
the>inhabitants Of the states Of Mime
sofa and North Dakota. /
