Donahoe Creek
Watershed Board
5Fo Meet Feb. 12
' Board members of the Dona-
hoe Authority will meet Febru-
ary 12 at 3:30 p. m. at the of-
fice of Fred Blair
v. On the agenda is the decis
ion" as to whether or not a bond
issue should be submitted to the
people of the district.
It is felt by members of the
board that the district needs to
assure1 the state board that it
has the money necessary to pur
chase the right of way and ease-
ments for the dam sites.
It is also felt that the dis
trict needs $90000 for the pur-
chase of these sites which is
considerably more than the
$2000 that the district has on
hand due to the district tax.
This can be used for mainten-
ance. The amount on hand will
be about $2500 at the end of
the year thds the need of t6
bond issue.
There is no need of the tax
if the dam sites are not going
to be built. The bond issue would
bring the matter to a head to.
decide whether or not the peo
ple of the district . want the
dams.
