The county and the cities (Orem and Provo) would have access at all points for irrigation and flood control work with maximum protection to the property owner and with reduced destruction. The corridor or parkway area would minimize flood risk and damage to property owners. The plan would follow out the flood control practices most recently developed by the Army Corps of Engineers. The parkway as corridor would lessen the disturbance and maintain elements of built-i- n control for fishermen and others who will wish to come to the river area.

Archibald, director of the unofficial, nonpartisan Fair Campaign Practices Committee, saw the Lamkin complaint as the forerunner of a probable flood of protests between now and Nov. 7 on alleged misuse of the frank for political purposes.
