Francisco Seattle Sioux City Valentine Washington Irrigation of Oahe Area ls Being Studied Washington (P -Studies of a proposed Oahe irrigation unit in South Dakota are continuing and a report on feasibility on the project may be ready in a year or 18 months, the Reclamation Bureau said today. The project was authorized by Congress in 1944. THE BUREAU in August 1956 made public an interim report which proposed possible construction of the vast project in several stages over a 60-year period. Cost was estimated at around 542 million dollars. The budget now before Congress includes a request for funds to allow continued work on the Oahe study with the aim of completing the field work by June 30, 1960.

SEN. FRANCIS CASE (R- SD) said it appears at this time that there is little hope for irrigation on the west side of the Oahe Reservoir because of the higher elevation there. But Case said there does appear to be some potential for irrigation on the reservoir's eastern side. Reclamation Bureau studies on a possible White River project in southwestWhite River in southwestern South Dakota also are continuing, Case added. This would be downstream from the Oahe reservoir.

Case said he was told that there still are numerous drawbacks to the plans for this project. TRAFFIC JAM New York (P -Eight ocean liners arrived in port almost simultaneously Tuesday, with 4,000 passengers. The traffic jam was deftly handied by an augmented staff of customs men who exam ined more than 16,000 pieces of luggage. Answer Demos On Land Charge (Continued from Page 1) of the Bureau of Roads in January, 1958 and is currently the foremost candidate for the position of state highway engineer, presently held by H. C.

Rempfer). The Cactus Flats road location has been in court litigation for almost three years. "AFTER THE ROUTES were examined at Kansas City, they were forwarded to Washington and were approved by the head of the Bureau of Public Roads, C. A. Curtis, who has since retired.

Later the routes were restudied by Bertram Tallamy, presently, chief administrator Bureau of Public Roads, and were approved by him. In reality, the an highway commission had insignificant and non-authoritative part in the location of the Interstate highway routes in South Dakota. Included in the Interstate highway routing for South Dakota is an east by-pass for the city of Sioux Falls located along Logan Ave. This route was approved by J. E.

Applegate of Pierre, presently division engineer of the Bureau of Public Roads. The location was concurred in by W. P. Buck, at that time regional engineer of the Bureau of Public Roads at Kansas City, Mo. It was later approved by the Bureau of Public Roads in Washington, D.C., with Bertram Tallamy as chief administrator.

"IT IS INTERESTING to note that the Highway Commission in 1949, recognizing that an east by-pass to Sioux Falls would be necessary to handle the traffic in that fast growing city, asked that when the School for the Deaf property was sold in the fall of 1949, as authorized by the Legislature in 1949, that 200 feet of highway along, Logan be reserved dedicated for highway purposes. (In its finality, only 198 feet was dedicated). The Bureau of Public Roads, cooperating with state engineers, chose the Logan Ave. location as the east by-pass for the Interstate. This indicates good planning and forethought on the part of the commission in 1949.

The commission at that time consisted of George T. Mickelson, chairman; the late ry Gunderson of Irene; Matt Stephenson of Dupree, and Merle Grupe of Britton. "When the School for the Deaf property was sold, it was appraised by a group of Sioux Falls realtors and was advertised and offered for public sale through sealed bids. Those bids were opened in offices for the School for the Deaf at Sioux Falls, and awards for purchase were made to the highest bidders. Included in the group of bidders was C.

I. Lokken, vice president of Sioux Valley Bank, of Sioux Falls, who bid on several tracts. He was successful in securing a tract of land at 10th St. and Logan Ave. In the fall of 1949 he sold interests in the property to Erling Haugo, president of Sioux Valley Bank, A.

S. Myklebust, superintendent of the School for the Deaf, and Karl E. Mundt, United States Senator, in 'equal shares. These owners formed a corporation for the management of the property. The present Interstate highway system with control of access was not conceived until 1956.

"WHEN THE INTERSTATE highway by-pass was routed over Logan it became evident that the property owned by the above corporation would be damaged by the Interstate highway because an interchange would be located at the point of the corporation ownership. The property has been certified for federal taking and is now in the hands of the federal court to establish values and damages to the owners. "Before any property was acquired on the Interstate highway, it was appraised by commercial appraisers, as well as the state highway "The figure fixed for purchase came as a result in each case as a combination of the independent appraisers and the highway appraisers and was concurred in by the Bureau of Roads. The Bureau of Public Roads shares in the acquisition of Interstate highway right of way in the proportion of 91.2 per cent federal aid to 8.8 state aid. "THE STRIP MAPS showing the route location of Interstate Highways were made available to the general public in South Dakota as soon as were approved by the Bureau of Public Roads.

Much time was spent in and around Sioux Falls familiarizing the public with the location and route of the Interstate highway. Included in the meetings was one on Oct. 8, 1957, at the Chamber of Commerce rooms. Another was held in the evening of Oct. 4, 1957, at the High School auditorium in Harris- S.F.

Problem Seen in Drivers Permits Which Are Lost Pierre (P) It's going to entail more work to get a duplicate drivers permit after July 1 because there is no provision for issuing one. The 1959 Legislature enacted a drivers licensing law, repealing the old permit law. The permits issued prior to when the new law becomes effective July 1 are good until their expiration date. The question was raised by Jesse Schnider, motor vehicle commissioner, as to who would issue a duplicate for the permit lost or destroyed.

Atty. Gen. Parnell J. Donohue advised that the Motor Vehicle Department is without authority to issue duplicates of county issued permits. But, the department can issue duplicates of drivers' licenses issued by it afteffective date of the act- -July 1.

After July 1, Donohue advised, a duplicate of a permit in force and unexpired may be obtained from the county treasurer in the form of a certified copy. The treasurer's fee would be paid to and retained by the treasurer. Issue Wins At Bryant Bancroft, S.D.
