Water Itself cannot be manu factured; but it may be stored, conserved and used for the greatest good to the largest num ber of our citizens. Mr. Watkins emphasized the fact that the agricultural, the industrial and the economic development de-velopment of the entire West has been made possible by the completion com-pletion of reclamation projects. Geneva Steel, which has had such a profound and beneficial effect here in Utah Valley, would never have been built except for the development of the Provo River Project. The gigantic Central Utah Project with its attendant series of tunnels, canals, and reservoirs reser-voirs will be, when completed, the most complex in the United States. The value of this facility to the ultimate economic advancement ad-vancement of Central Utah is beyond imagination. Rome was not built in a day. Neither will a project as far flung and complex as the Central Utah Project be consummated without the united support of all who will benefit from its construction. con-struction. Permanent public benefits such as this do not materialize by wishful thinking. They come only through the force of a united and informed public opinion. - Greater Utah Valley, Inc. pledges Its continued Influence In-fluence and all possible resources toward the consummation of the Central Utah Reclamation Project; Proj-ect; with full realization of the profound effect it will have on the prosperity and well being of all who live in Utah Valley.
