Texas Reclamation
Project Proposed
WASHINGTON, OP)—The ad
ministration yesterday recommend
ed that Congress authorize federal
construction of the proposed $32,-
220,000 San Angelo Reclamation
Project in Texas.'
Asst. Secretary of the interior
Fred G. Aandahl made his report
to the House, where a bill is pend
ing similar to one already passed
by the Senate.
Aandahl also submitted a Re
clamation Bureau report which
says the project is feasible. That
report has been reviewed by in
terested state and federal agencies.
Reclamation commissioner W. A.
Dexheimer said the proposed de
velopment, in the upper reaches
of the Colorado River basin in Tex
as, would provide an important new
water supply for urban and indus
trial expansion near San Angelo.
It also would support irrigation
of 10,000 acres of agricultural land
on the Lipan Flat east of the city,
he said, and would “make a major
contribution to recreation, fish and
wildlife, and flood control.”
Dexheimer said the San Angelo
area is in need of additional water
supplies because of increased de
mands, general rainfall deficiency,
and periods of extreme drought.
San Angelo was the first stop
made by President Eisenhower on
his January drought tour of ‘the
Southwest.
The commissioner said rains are
sporadic but heavy and constitute
a continuing flood menace to the
city and other areas downstream
from the proposed development.
Based on January 1957 price
levels, the cost estimate of $32,-
220,000 tentatively was allocated:
$6,700,000' for municipal supply;
$11,060,000 for irrigation; $10,800,-
000 for flood control; $60,000 for
recreation and $3,600,000 for fish
and wildlife.
The Senate bill listed the esti
mated cost at 30 million dollars
on the basis of October 1954 prices.
Amounts allocated to municipal
supply and irrigation would be re
paid by the water users within 40
years after a five-year develop
ment period. The allocation to
municipal water would be repaid
with interest while that to irriga
tion would, as usual, be interest-
free.
