Seek Work Plan
On Building
Of Five Dams
Action By County And Town
Puves Way For Con-
tinued Action

At a special meeting i'm the City
Hall last evening the Mayor and
Town Council of Oakland, and the
County Commissioners decided to
ask for a work plan which might
lead to the construction of five
small flood control dams in the
area They pledged an expenditure
of $4,000, if necessary, to construct
these dams through assistance from
the Soil Conservation Service and
the Federal government.
Some twenty-five or more bust
ness men met with the two groups
and discussed the proposed plan
for over three hours with Maurice
Brookhart, chairman of the water
shed survey committee leading the
discussion He was assisted by Will
| liam w. Mace, district soil cOnser-
vationist, and Mayor Joseph Hine-
baugh.
A preliminary survey of the Lit
tie Youghiogheny river watershed
has been conducted throughout the
summer months and the project has
| reached the point where, if further
work is to be done, it was neces-
Sary that the two sponsoring bodies
make definite request for a work
plan, to be drawn up and presented
to Congress for possible approval.
Should approval be forthcoming
from the us. Department of Agri-
culture and Congress, the actual
construction cost might be borne
by the Federal government to the
extent of about 80 percent.
The Soil Conservation service, in
its preliminary estimate, suggested
the construction of eight dams on
Wilson Run and the Little Youghio-
gheny river, at an estimated cost
of S334,OO0, plus an outlay of an adj
ditional $4,000 for channel i'm
provement of the Little Youghio-
gheny.
In the final analysis the group
eliminated three of the eight dams
and decided to ask for a work plan
to be presented to Congress which
would include five dams at an
estimated cost of $187.0OO, with the
| two sponsoring institutions agree
ing to commit themselves for $40,-
900 over a five year period or long
cr.
The proposed sites included three
on Wilson Run, in the general vi
cinity of the Loomis property, the
Cherry Glade run area and the
Winters property; and two on the
Little Youghiogheny river, one in
the neighbOrhood of the E. o.
WondeYly farm, and one above the
lake at Mt Lake Park, on Broad
ford
These five dams would have a
drainage area of 8,7O8 acres, and
upon completion would be calcu-
lated to prevent any further flood
damage to Oakland to around 70
percent over a 190-year period In
Oaklard's last flood the total dam
age was estimated at around S7O,-
600.
With the request for the work
plan now official, the engineers of
the Soil Conservation service will
now continue their survey and will
provide information in detail that
must be included in the work plan
that will be presented to Congress
for its approval.

Pete Degel, Geo.
Sweley Buy BEERS
Tire Store

Pete Degel and George Sweley last
week completed a deal for the pur-
chase of BEERS Tire Store, effective
March I. when the name of the busi-
viii be changed to d & S Tire
Store.
Degel came to Sidney five years ago
from Glendive where he had operated
a Carter Oil Co. service station to as
sumo management of the Carter Oil
Co. bulk plant and has made a fine
success of that job besides being ac-
tive in civic and community affairs.
Sweley, raised here, was last fall dis
charged from the Air Force, in which
he had served four years, most of the
time being stationed in Washington,
d. G. Before enlisting he had worked
for Degel in the bulk plant operation
and went back to that job on his re-
turn to Sidney.
Ralph K. Beier established the first
(Goodyear) tire store in Sidney over
20 years ago in the building now oc-
cupied by Redgren Furnace & Sheet
Metal Works. After operating it for a
number of years, he sold out and
bought a ranch in the western part
of the state where he wanted to To-
cate for health reasons He returned
TO Sidney several years ago and
bought back the tire store which he
has operated since. He has not as yet
announced his plans for the future.

Holly Sugar
Makes Additional
Beet Payments

The Holly Sugar Corporation has
just announced that an additional pay
ment of S1.O0 per ton of 1954-crop
beets win be mailed to growers in
the Sidney area on February IS. IN
ers returns to date from the 1854
crop amount to approximately $12.38
per ton or approximately S3, 000, 900.
The final payment on the crop will
not be made until in the fall.
Company officials have pointed out
that sugar beet acreage is now SUBJ
ject to allotment control by the United
States Department of Agriculture. In
order that all of the allotted acreage
may be used by farmers in the area,
it is urgently necessary that each
farmer plant up to his full allotment.
If he is not going to plant his allot-
ment for any reason, the grower is
requested to notify his fieldman, or
the county ASC committee, in order
that others may take advantage Of the
opportunity. Some producers will have
fields a little short of their acreage
ALLEGATION while others. in their nor
NAL rotations. will have fields slightly
larger than their ALLEGATIONS. Complete
cooperation will be necessary if the
total acreage allocated to the area is
to be used.
It was pointed out that requests for
acreage allotments are far in excess
of the acreage to be allotted under
the government program. The national
allotment is estimated to be sufficient,
under normal conditions, t. produce
the 10000 ton sugar quota of the do
nestle beet sugar area.
