Two projects that local residents
believe vital to full development of
Fort Peck lake recreation facilities,
a road south from the huge earth
fill dam to connect with the Central
Montana highway and an aquatic
life survey of the lakes waters,
were stressed in resolutions pre-
sented to army engineers at the
Fort Peck recreation hearing here.
All communities represented at
the hearing Joined in endorsing
the resolutions.
A scientific survey of aquatic
life" in the lake is called for as a
necessary preliminary step toward
development of hatchery and rear
ing pend facilities. Announcement
previously had been made that the
federal fish and wildlife service is
planning a warm water fish hat
cherry near Fort Peck. Construction
is dependent on congressional APP
preparation.
1T is our belief that the state OF
Montana, through its state fish and
game commission, will be willing to
cooperate with your federal depart
ment in the institution and main
tenance of such hatchery facilities,
and that they will result in great
recreational pleasure both to citi-
zens of this state and visitors from
