Allagash and Cross Rock Bills Die in Senate
Both the Allagash Wilderness Waterway bill and the Cross Rock power dam proposal died in the Maine Senate as it disagreed with the House. The vote on Allagash was 26-6 against concurrence. Cross Rock was sent to a study committee along with other federal and state river development proposals. Governor Reed criticized the action, while House Democrats debated the study order. The measures would have affected wild river areas and a 750,000 to 1,350,000 kilowatt dam plan at Cross Rock.
