Hopes for early Canyon Dam start voiced by engineer
Col. Harry Q. Fisher, Fort Worth district engineer of the US Corps of Engineers, told Rotary Lions Club listeners in New Braunfels that $400,000 already appropriated is funding engineering work and site preparation, with $1.6 million more requested for 1957 to begin main dam construction and land purchases. He outlined a 740,000 acre foot capacity project with flood and conservation storage and flowage easements, noting state participation could total about $6 million. The plan envisions a two project pool, real estate acquisitions over time, and the flood problem at Bleeders Creek to be investigated if funds permit. The dam aims for a six year completion and will boost local tax revenue, electricity, recreation, and wildlife opportunities, with Canyon Lake becoming a regional draw.

While touted as cheaper and more effective than rotenone the chemical may linger in waters and harm future fish life if neutralizing chemicals are absent. He warns Texans to proceed cautiously with new techniques due to potential human effects.
