Shore Owners Press Gov to Honor Past Promises
The Coeur d Alene Lakeshore Owners Association approved a resolution urging Governor Evans, as Idaho Land Board chair, to fulfill promises from former leaders about pursuing dock rental suits even if land changed hands. Ambrose Clemo cited over $10,000 in member contributions and state costs as wasted if the action is dropped, and noted stake over water level rulings amid dam effects. Attending groups endorsed the resolution, and eight directors were elected to three year terms.

Gas Supply Adequate If Winter Normal Says FPC Chief
FPC chairman Charles B Curtis told Senate hearings that gas supply should meet demand this winter if temperatures stay within 30 year normals. A 10 percent colder winter could cause shortages and potential plant closures, with priority gas service to residential and small commercial customers preserved. Last winter was 10 to 40 percent colder regionally.
