Merlin Project in Josephine County gains momentum for dam
Plans for the 14.7 million Merlin Project dam aim to irrigate 9 260 acres. Congressman Robert Duncan introduced a 1963 bill with final action expected in 1965. The feasibility report stalled by the Bureau of the Budget over a uniform benefit cost ratio. Secretary Udall endorsed the project's economic justification and engineering feasibility. House Interior Committee will hear Duncan's bill before the full Interior Committee. Coos County Soil and Water Conservation Committee pushes flood control dam in the Coquille valley as economically justified. Encourage federal funding despite time and delays.
