Linke Seeks Echo Park Reservoir Support Letters
Harold A. Linke urged public and private groups to send resolutions in support of the Echo Park dam and reservoir for presentation to Interior Secretary Oscar A. Chapman in Washington. He warned of strong opposition from eastern groups unfamiliar with the dam or the monument and said the dam is essential to access the Colorado River shore and to develop the monument for public use. He dismissed claims the dam would obscure dinosaur remains and asked for responses within the next day.
