four sites nearest the dam, were
named! specifically in the protest.
Col. Bernard L. Robinson, engin-
eer for the Galveston district, who
conducted the hearings said that
his office would talk directly with
state health department officials
to get a complete picture of their
views on the public health side of
the development.
He pointed out that today’s
meeting was for the purpose of
ascertaining public opinion here on
the development of the area, to be
incorporated in the plan which trie
federal government formulates for
their development.
At other similar lakes, he pointed
out, such recreational facilities as
havq been proposed here have been
installed and are operating success-
fully.
In a later meeting with the Lions
and Kiwanis clubs he acknowledg-
ed the public health protest, and
affirmed that his office did not
propose any development that
might go contrary to local ot state

strictions” on the recreational de-
velopments of the area.
Robinson particularly stressed the
extensive recreational possibility ot
