Waltonians condemn Red Rock Dam plan
The Iowa hearing on the Red Rock dam drew supporters and opponents. The Izaak Walton League condemned the project as pork barrellike and warned costs now exceed 70 to 75 million dollars. It argued a 6000 acre conservation pool would be polluted by sewage, silting in 10 to 15 years, and hinder recreation while floods could be controlled better near the river source.
