One thing, however, ap pears certain. If the people of Brazos county want the dam, they must do some- thing about it. Those opposed to the dam are vigorously fighting it. A well-informed source re- ports that the opponents of the dam have raised more than $30,000 to carry on their fight and are currently seek- ing the services of a "pub- lic relations" man. "There is a, good chance that we can get at least preliminary construction on the $67 million pro j e c t started this year--if we get organized," s a i d B r y a n Mayor O. B. Donaho.."The Army Corps of Engineers office in Fort North has asked Washington for ad- ditional information, b u t what they really want is strong indication of public support for the project." Army Engineers h a v e studied and tentatively rec- ommended three sites, ontel near Millican, one farther 0 of taxes. They contend that in- flux of workers, availability of surface water for pros- pective new industry, plus the tremendous recreation- al advantages would far more than offset the land lost to pasture and cultivation and the tax return from it. City councils of Byran, College Station and Navasota have endorsed selection of the Millican dam site. The Bryan-College Station Chamber of Commerce on Bryan-College Station Chamber of Commerce di- rectors Tuesday endorsed the Millican site for the pro- posed Navasota river dam. it The -vote followed an hour of discussion preceded by a a telephone interview with Cong. Olin Teague in W2sh- ington, via a "conf ence 'phone hook-up arran d,>rjy Pat Brennan and the oui'li- western States Telephone Co. Mr. Teague recommended that the chamber not endorse any specific site, said that he favored any site selected by the Corps of Engineers, and admitted inability to answer specifically some of t h e questions addressed to him. Note of the chamber board was taken on recommenda- tion of a six to one vote by a special committee headed by President Russell Hillier. George Adams introduced a substitute resolution which would simply endorse any decision by the engineers, a~motion which died when Bill Fitch withdrew h i s second. Reliable information re- ported at the meeting in- dicated that the Corps of Engineers wants strong in- dications of support for one of the sites under considera- tion and that it favors the Millican site. Feeling expressed by sev- eral directors is that ad- vantages of the Millican site outweight disadvantages by a margin of 2 to 1. It would, among other things, impound twice as much wa- ter as either the Ferguson site or the OSR site.

At present, the Colleee Station city charter does not allow issu- ance of warrants. Consequently, Boswell went to Austin yesterday to discuss the matter with Sen. Moore. To Validate the warrants, Sen. Moore must introduce them .in the legislature in the form of a local bill. If the bill is passed (and it prob- ably will be, a floor discussion be- ing all that is required) the war- rants will be available. But fail- ure will necessitate a bond ac- tion, or a city charted revision, to raise the funds.

Earlier in the year the Department offered to build the new structure provided local governments and the College met certain stipulations. The final condition was met April 12 when the College Station City Council agreed to furnish all necessary right of ways within the city limits. "Now that we have this final approval, we can move ahead with our plans and specifications. We've set no dead- lines because there are so many agencies involved. Thus, we can't estimate when the underpass will be constructed," says J. M. McLain, resident engineer. The engineer said the new underpass will be much safer and will help speed traffic flow at peak hours, as well as improve the appearance of the crossing. "We hope to plan the structure and obtain sufficient right of ways so that if future traffic makes it necessary we can make a cloverleaf intersection there," the engineer stated. Approximately 10 per cent of the construction cost will be borne by the Texas and New Orleans Railroad and the Missouri Pacific Railroad companies. The remainder of the costs will be borne by the Texas Highway Department, Mc- Lain said. The basic stipulations from the Highway Department required Brazos County to furnish unencumbered right of ways and to make all necessary utility adjustments outside the city limits of College Station, A&M and railroad property. In addition to requirements of the City of College Sta- tion, the Department required A&M to furnish unencumbered right of ways and to make utility adjustments within the limits of College property. Now the conditions have been met well within the May 10 deadline. Engineers have been studying the grade crossing for a number of ,years. In fact, back in 1954, State Highway En- gineer D. C. Greer was directed by the Highway Commission to proceed with negotiations at which time the project was estimated to cost $375,000. Since that time, and much study later, cost of the struc- ture has risen to an estimated $720,000.

Bryan-C.S., Sunday, July 30, 1961 Requests For Re-Zoning Tabled at College Station By IVAN COLLIER - Consideration of three re- quests for zoning changes was the main order of business at a meeting of the College Station City Council Friday night. All three requests were tabled "un- til such time as the study of the zoning ordinance has been completed." But the tenor of discussion was favorable, and r lndicated that the tabling mo- tions simply postponed action until the August meeting of the council. THE FIRST REQUEST was l to rezone to Number One Bus- iness District lots 4, 5 and 6 in block 9. West Park Addition.' This is property on Jersey Street near Highway 6. The council seemed to favor this change, but wanted to include' lots 1, 2 and 3 also. A second request was to rezone one lot on Church Street to Second Business District. In its one-lot form this request had been turned down by the zoning commission, but the council seemed to feel that all of the property across from the Presbyterian Church and bounded by Patricia, Boyett and Church streets should be included in the change. A REQUEST SIGNED by Mrs. Fred Hale that an ex- ception in zoning restrictions at one location on Montclaire Ave. be allowed for one school year, in order that a kinder- garten be operated there, was also tabled. But the council. recorded in the minutes that it was sympathetic to the request and recognized the necessity for such schools in certain areas. Council indicated that it would take time to handle this request properly, and it was lumped with the others for:'; action in August. A preliminary plat of "the Glade" presented by contractor W. D.

At the time of my retire- department. ment we had more than 300 arc- hitecture majors and graduated about 50 each year." . During his 33 years with the department it became recognized as the outstanding Architectural school in the Southwest and one of the best in the country. Mr. Langford gives this four-point philosophy as the basis for his success: A high quality, dedicated faculty; Close andintensive relations with the professional field, An abiding faith in the good- ness of mankind - a belief that students,' given the proper dir- ection, will do the right thing; A continuing interest in the progress of former students. Always interested in the development of his "home town" of College Station, Mr. Langford was a member of the first city council and has remained con- tinuously on the council since its first meeting. "I guess my interest in this council work stems from the same characteristics that made me want to be an architect," he said.

For what affects one of these agencies in turn affects the others. We are too closely knit for it to be other- wise. Ours is the choice of planning wisely or sitting by and letting things run off in all directions. The first we must do; the latter we must not let happen. The Brazos Area Planning Corporation was created for this very purpose to give general direction to wise plan- ning for the future of the Brazos area. Sponsored by the two cities, the county, ,and the college, the BAP. desgyves the solid sup- port of gveq_ citizen who is interested iaAke welfare of his community. The BAPC can only serve in an advisctry capacity. It can point the way towardsfa wholesomq enviroment. But what is ultimately accomplished' will be done by the people acting through their elected represent- atives their county and city officials. ?gam Ernest Langford The construction of a huge water storage reservoir along the Navasota River makes county planning imperative. What new roads will be needed? Over what routes will water be delivered to the cities, to the college? What steps will be taken to pre- vent the watershed from becom- ing unsightly, unsanitary, an eyesore? These are county problems but what is done with them will affect the cities', the college. Tht problems of the cities are no less complicated. Where are we going to build our homes, our schools, our churches? Our cultural and commercial centers, our playgrounds? Our services? And once this has been deter- mined, are we going to protect our people from unsightly en- croachment by establishments which should have been located elsewhere? We can if we will'-- by zoning. To be sure, zoning is not the only answtr, but with- out it we are lost -before we start. A&M College sits right in the middle of all of this. Working to- gether the cities, the county, the college we possess the knowhow to make ours a model community. We dare not do less! u3 Y. pyW~ VI Ld iL W 0 0 M LEGAL NOTICE , I ORDINANCE NO. 324 N ORDINANCE RECEIVING CERTAIN 'sRRITORY ADJOINING THE LIMITS THE CITY INTO AND INCORPORAT-' IG THE SAME AS A PART OF THE TY OF COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS...

Congress made the money available for the re-study as requested by the opposition and a public hearing was held in Bryan, Texas on December 16th, 1958. At this meeting the opposition asked again that the whole River basin be studied with a view to a better site for the Dam, and this study has been going on for more than two years. This included a compre. ensive economic study of the advantages and disadvantages in the whole area. 4. THE CORPS OF ENGINEERS has now RECOMMENDED the M,ILLICAN DAM SITE after a thorough study. 5. THE BRAZOS RIVER AUTHORITY has RECOIiMENDED THE MI LLICAN SITE. 6. THE STATE BOARD of WATER ENGINEERS has recommended THE MILLICAN SITE. 7• THE CITY OF. BRYAN, THE CITY OF COLLEGE STATION and the CITY OF NAVASOTA have recommended THE MILLICAN SITE. 8. THE BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION CHAMBER OF COMMERCE has recommended THE MILLICAN SITE. 9. There are only about 60,000 acres of land in Brazos County to be covered by the lake and is on the tax rolls valuations at about $5.00 per acre. The total school and county taxes of this land will probably not exceed $8,000.00 per year. 10. Much of the land to be covered by water is usually under water several months out of the year and only approximately 4% of the total land is under cultivation. recommended THE MILLICAN SITE* j 9.

Much of the land to be covered by water is usually under water several months out of the year and only approximately 4% of the total land is under cultivation. 11. The state board of Water Engineers has approved an adequate water request for future use by the cities in this area from this lake and this is recorded in the minutes of the public hearing in Bryan in 1958. 12. The lake is large enough to supply all Brazos County needs as well as industries and municipalities down-stream and the cost of the water will be proportoned according to the amount subscribed for, which means that the larger share of the cost of this lake will be paid for by the down-stream users. The local area will benefit from the recreation advantages and the increased tax revenue from the greater land values. 13. Whenever you build Lakes, Highways, Streets, Schools or other public improvements there are always those who will be inconvenienced. That is the price of progress. Many people owning land in the Navasota River Basin do not live on the land and do not depend on it for a livilihood. Where else in Texas could you get this much water and inconvenience so few people? 14. Who stands to benefit the most from the opposition "Cold Cash" and $100,000.00 budget? 15. Don't be fooled by sophist statements. SUBMITTED by JOHN NAYLOR, J. A.

One member of the council last night suggested donating. the lumber in the building for the Aggie bonfire set off an. nually before the A&M-Texas football game. That wouldn't do because they use logs on the bonfire. Another councilman said maybe the city could use the good lumber remaining. City Manager Ran Boswell quickly vetoed that, saying it would cost more to salvage than it would be worth. Solution of the owner of the house, who lives in San An- tonio, was the simplest. "Burn the rest of it down," he told the city attorney in a letter. But the city doesn't want to do that. Anybody want a partially I burned house? ORDINANCE NO. 355 ORDINANCE TO PREVENT PER. [v AI.

Ben- (See STREET Page 8) son, dean of engineering at the college. Dean Benson, who is also Col- lege Station city engineer, said he was giving his unofficial opinions on what probably,, would take place in order to, keep the council abreast of col- lege plans which will affect the city. The campus probably would be closed to through vehicular traffic except at several main entrances. Among these would be East Gate on Highway 6, the highway circle on Farm Road. 1 60 and an entrance on the west; side of the campus. THE ENTRANCE at the FMj 60 circle would be the only through entrance on the north; side of the campus except on the extreme west side. Dean Beni son said a new library approv- ed last week by the A&M Board of Directors would stretch across, Bell, Roberts and Hubbard. He added that although there would be no through traffic from downtown College Station, North Gate merchants could look forward to new dormitor- ies being built on the north side " near the shopping area. The dean also said the Mis-a souri Pacific Railroad is seeking-' permission to abandon their right-of-way from Navasota to Bryan and would use the South- ern Pacific tracks. In this same area, the Texas Highway Department is plan- ning a railroad overpass at Farm Road 60. Benson envis- ioned a main traffic artery from A&M and College Station to Bryan along the abandoned tracks. College Station Mayor Pro Tern Joe Orr went on record requesting continued through Street (Continued From Page 1) for lack of a second at the coun- cil meeting. Councilman Joe Sorrells made the motion and agreed to let it die after Councilman A. F. Boyett spoke against adopting the plan. P. R. Holleman, chairman of the College Station Planning and Zoning Commission, had recommended for his group that the plan be adopted in princi. ple. It had previously been ac, cepted by the council but not formally adopted. Boyett said that none of the o t h e r participating agencies (Bryan, Brazos County an( A&M College) had adopted thi master plan and said he didn' "see any reason why we shoulc adopt it .9p THE COUNCIL rezoned par of Lot 1 and all of Lot 2 in th D.

The resolution was written after a petition seeking to keep the street open was signed by 32 North Gate merchants last month. The petition, which was circu- lated by J. P. Dobyne Jr. of Dobyne Jewelers, was styled as follows: "To Whom It May Concern: "We, the following business- 'Men of College Station, Texas, earnestly protest the proposed closing of the street Bell that runs in front of the post office and intersects College Main and Farm Road 60." MAYOR ERNEST Langford, who declined to release the con- tent of the resolution until it was delivered to President Rud- der, emphasized that "The City of College Station had nothing to do with the circulation of a petition or sending of copies of it to any individual." He added that he will "take the simple resolution to the President of A&M College when I can get an appointment at his convenience." Mrs. J. P. Dobyne, mother of the petition circulator and own- er of the jewelry store, said members of the citizens' group protesting the alleged closing of the street on the A&M campus appeared at a College Station City Council meeting Friday night. She said the council agreed to send resolutions to President Rudder and also to Washington officials. Mayor Langford said today that a resolution would be sent only to President Rudder.
