The first large dam built by the Resettlement Administration nears completion on the 17,000 acre land utilization project in Fannin County Texas regional RA director D P Trent said Sunday. The dam is 887 feet long with a second 1200 foot dam possible in thirty days creating lakes of 53 and 70 acres. The project aims to demonstrate soil and water conservation and serve as a recreational center and wildlife refuge with nine of fifteen overnight cabins nearing completion.
