About 5 000 to 8 000 people attended the $14 million Toronto dam and reservoir dedication in Toronto. Sen. Andrew Schoeppel delivered the principal address as Gov. George Docking took benefits of the impoundment for the state. Col. Stanley G. Reiffs presented the project. Water sports preceded the ceremony as Schoeppel warned of rising water demand and urged reuse, pollution control, and stronger river regulations. He cited potential drought rationing and noted research on desalting and cloud seeding with no near-term breakthroughs. He backed flood-control plans for Neodesha and Elk City on the Verdigris River, with Toronto’s lake already used for fishing and boating.
