The bill would allow the U.S. Forest Service to purchase up to 3,000 acres of private lands in the national forest located in Mill Creek Canyon above the division of the proposed Little Dell Reservoir and in Little Cottonwood and Big Cottonwood CanI first introduced this bill in January, 1967, because of my growing concern that proposed private development in the area would create serious sanitary or stream pollution and prevent the use of the land for public recreation purposes, he said. My concern was and is now shared by the Salt Lake City Commission which originally asked me to introduce the bill, he said. The Senator Page Three FRIDAY, MARCH 26, 1971 Fun Tag.

At State Park units where a reservation is desired for groups of ten or more people, a graduated fee near 10 cents per person is required. This and other fees are review annually and approved by the Utah State Division of Parks and Recreation, of which James D. Moyle of Salt Lake City is chairman. Already many State Parks are receiving very heavy use, such as Willard Bay for boating and other places where weather is suitable for just riding and enjoying the scenery.

He said the Salt Lake City Corporation does not have sufficient funds to purchase lands. This year, as never before, we are aware of the serious problems which have arisen and can still arise because we have not paid proper attention to our environment. There is a much greater demand for protection from pollution now than in 1967. I recognize that the problem of watershed protection in the Wasatch Forest is only one part of the national problem, but it is urgent that we begin, step by step, to act now before the damage is irreversible, Sen Moss sub-divisio- said. step up schedules. ..to keep freight on the go 'round the dock, in any terrain and weather.
