funds will be sought from the
Legislature biennially over the
next eight years.
The speed with which all
State agencies involved in the
expenditure of this new bond is
sue money which was approved
by the people of Pennsylvania
only last year is. indeed, highly
commendable and I am certain
that the day is not far off when
all of us will begin to see the
physical results of the most far
reaching conservation and rec
lamation program ever begun by
any State in the Nation.
For example, only last week
I approved and signed a con
tract in the amount of $891,290
for construction of the dam
which will create a 205-acre lake
at the new Tunkhannock State
Park on the South Branch of
Tunkhannock Creek in Lack
awanna County.
Work on this project is sched
uled to begin this week, with
construction expected to be com
pleted by October, 1970. When
finally filled, the lake, along
with shoreline developments to
be built, will serve thousands of
recreation-seekers in the Scran
ton-Wilkes-Barre area.
