Allen president of the convention
has announced
Seek January C9nfract Date
on Highway 64 Relocation
The Tulsa District of the Army meeting of the Commission for Sll
Engineers agreed August IS with
Oklahoma Highway Director Lee B
Washbourne and Bureau of Public
Roads Division Engineer E A
Sparks on a schedule for the prompt
processing of the most critical high
way relocation agreements which
threaten to delay completion of
Keystone and Eufaula Reservoirs
The first of the four most critical
items scheduled has already been
accomplished upon release for pay
molt August 18 by the Highway
Department of $456000 and $184-
000 as contributions for Slate re-
quested betterments to bridges on
Sections I and II of highway 69
being relocated at Eufaula Reser
voirThis cleared the way for award
of three construction contracts on
which bids were opened on July 28
and August 9 respectively The con-
tributions by the State were about
half of the original estimates of the
State's share of the cost
Expedited schedules were estab-
lished for completion of relocation
agreements for US 64 and SII 48 at
Keystone Reservoir and SII 9 and
9A at Eufaula Reservoir
"Relocation of these highways
controls the progress on both Key-
stone and Eufaula Reservoirs They
must be relocated prior to diversion
of the rivers and closure of the
dams Thus they control awards
of any future contracts for the
dams" Colonel Penney said
'Processing of these relocation
agreements has been delayed due
to the inability of the State to en-
ter into agreements on the basis
of the 'replacement in kind' policy
of the Corps of Engineers" Colo-
nel Penney said
"The recent Flood Control Act
of 1960 provides a basis of agree-
ment and the opportunity to ex-
pedite schedules on the part of the
Tulsa District" he added
Colonel Penney said that agree-
ment On design criteria was reach-
ed on August 18 It !IOW remains
to determine the cost to the State
of the betterments they desire and
to secure State approval of reloca-
tion agreements This is scheduled
For the Oct 3rd meeting of the
Highway Commission for US 64 and
SII 4 and at the November 7th
"Cleveland is in a very enviable
position with the advent of the
Keystone reservoir: Charley Mon-
roetold Rotarians and their guests
at the Monday evening meeting
Monroe is a member of the state
Planning and Resources Board
"Judging from similar develop-
ments in other areas Cleveland
should expect and plan for expan-
sion in the nearby area" he added
In his early remarks Monroe
pointed out features which Okla-
homa state park areas offer visi-
tors He stated that more out-of-state
people visit Oklahoma parks
than do state residents -
In 1959 almost six million vehicles
from states other than Oklahoma
were counted in the park areas
overnight More than three million
vehicles more visited the state
parks but did not stay overnight
The 15 million out-of-state residents
spent about $110 million while visit-
ing the parks These numbers ex-
ceed Oklahoma visitors by three
times
The state will be given first choice
for location of a park in the Key-
stone area Three locations are
being considered by the Planning
and Resources board Monroe ex-
plained These are Pawnee Cove
northwest of the damsite the re-
servoir area near the dam and
Walnut peninsula northeast of the
dam -
With the park area fishng and
boating docks and other related re
Grandfathet of
Larry Eastman Ill
Larry Eastman received word
Tuesday that his grandfather an
elderly man who lives near Raton
N M was ill and wanted to talk
to him by telephone
Misleading rumors were circulat-
ed prior to the completion of Lar-
ry's call from New Mexico
Mrs Arthur Eastman mother of
Larry has been visiting with her
parents for several weeks

Agreement on the contribution
and aM ard of the first constructionl
contract is needed by Jan 14 for
the US 64 Arkansas River Bridge
at Keystone Reservoir by March 6
for Si! 48 initial work at Keystone
Reservoir
"The success vie have in achiev-
ing timely relocation agreements
and obtaining contributions from
the state for betterments for the
highway work scheduled to start
in the next few months will deter-
mine in large measure not only the
ameunt of funds we will need from
congress next year for Keystone
and Eufaula Reservoirs but whe-
ther these projects can be com-
pleted on schedule" Colonel Pen-
ney said
Colonel Penney pointed out that
there is other highway work which
must be started before July of 1961
to avoid delay in completing these
reservoirs This includes Sil 99 and
Sli 51 at Keystone Reservoir and
Sit 9A and an additional section of
US 69 at Eufaula Project How-
ever these can follow the other
most urgently needed items -:
Sen Robert 11 Breeden of the
Pawnee and Noble county district
was in Oklahoma City Thursday
and Friday and discussed with Gen
Washbourne the status of plans
concerning roads in the Pawnee
county portion of the Keystone re-
servoir All agreements have been
tentatively made and ihe plans for
the highway 64 99 and 48 improve-
ments were identical with those
previously tentatively approved
A recent act of congress passed
in July will save the state a lot of
money on the relocations in addi-
tion to making it possible for the
Federal Bureau of Roads to pay
its share of the cost direct to the
engineers rather than cause the
State to advance the money and
wail repayment after the projects
are completed
'This act was the result of a con-
ference between the Oklahoma con-
gressional delegation and a state
senate committee that met with the
delegation in Washington Breeden
was a member of the committee
that attended the conference
Area Can Expect Expansion

creational facilities Cleveland can I
expect quite an increase in activity I
within the next ten years he ad&d
Monroe pointed out that Okla-
homa has 16 state parks which
cover 53000 acres of dry land and
149000 acres covered by water
The state maintains 703 rental units
on these properties In addition
there are 10 recreational areas1
which do not have enough acreage I
to be classified as parks and 9
monuments and memorials Pal ks
memorials and museums are lo-
cated in every section of the state
easily accessible to the citizens of
Oklahoma and out-of-state visitors
Oklahoma ranks second in the
nation in park income seventh in
park attendance eighth in youth
camp users (with an average of
180(J daily) and twelfth in park
acreage
Monroe added that he and other
members of the state board would
be present at the Sept 7 hearing on
lake park sites to be held at the
Mayo hotel in Tulsa and that the
board would be glad to work with
Cleveland in planning nearby re-
creational facilities

Tulsa Cancels Its
Request For Lake
Water Rights
The City of Tulsa this week with-
drew its long-standing request for
water storage space in the ap-
proaching Keystone lake after the
city received a report that the water
would Ix of "poor manly for either
domestic or industrial use"
The mayor's action came as a
result tl the utility tyiard's reeom-
mendation on Keystone water
The city had delayed making a
duci-ion on the water entil the re-
cently completed Grecley-llancq
report on city water needs was re-
cived Earlier city administrations had
arranged for use of the space if
the city so desired
Engineers had requested a de-
cision on- the matter with the start
of construction on the dam but
had given the city results of the
tests which showed the water to
be of poor quality for either domes-
tic or industrial use
Cleveland Hominy Pawnee Sand
Springs Sapulpa and other toWnS
in the area have similar requests
filed with the state water resources
board and the engineers Each city
was given the right to request that
the army provide storage for it
for stipulated amounts of water
The city would not be called up!in
to pay anything for the forage
until 10 years and then it would
be charged interest and would be
asked to make a payment each
year until stipulated amounts were
paid depending upon the amount
of storage requested No city would
be obligated until 10 years and
it then could release its re-
quest without any cost according
to a recent opinion of the Cleveland
city attorney
