TAMS engineering firm,
TAMS is looking into the
feasibility of constructing a
dam in the area.
What has the citizens
burned Is that while $728,000
are being spent by eight
utility companies to study
potential reservoir sites, no
one has ever asked the land
owners how they feel.
Studies are being made on
water quality, effect on
game, etc., but until Monday
night, the land owners’
feelings allegedly were
never taken into con
sideration.
The farmers and others
demanded a change. Those
doing the studies were in
vited to go around the area to
interview residents. One
outspoken man asserted that
none of those in the valley
would sell and was met with
considerable applause for
the remarks.
“We live here, we know
this land. Don’t you think it
would be nice.if you come
here and ask us how we
feel?” asked Terry
McGlone, who heads the
Citizens Opposing Red Creek
Dam.
The Red Creek Dam site is
one of four being considered
by eight Pennsylvania
electric companies to
provide cooling water for
atomic power plants along
the Delaware River. The

Commission is directing the
utilities to come up with a
water reservoir for that
purpose, after having or
dered them out of a site
which the utilities had in
mind before.
Monday’s meeting,
although occasionally a bit
heated, was orderly for the
most part. Citizens were
given the opportunity to ask
questions and state their
feelings, while represen
tatives from the engineering
firm and a power company
fielded questions.
Disappointment was
expressed during the
meeting that the
representatives were often
unqualified to answer
questions because the issues
were not within their ex-
According to State
Representative Bill Hut
chinson, 125th District, the
issue involved is not just
land-use, but what he termed
“facelessness of govern
ment.” .He asserted that
“these people rely on you to
take the questions
back....these people would
like to face the decision
makers.” Visibly irritated
that the representatives
could not answer many
questions, he urged that the
situation be remedied by
responsible officials coming
forward and honest studies
being conducted. He alleged
that studies such as those

the proposed changes could
influence the price to
dairymen from $.15 to $.30
depending upon how the
changes are ultimately
implemented. Hearings on
the proposals were held last
year, but a decison is not yet
out. York said, “We don’t
know the full impact.”
York told about his role in
working with Congress and
other legislative bodies,
representing members in
vital areas. He said he
testified before the Senate
Agricultural Committe in
March in support of a new
Agricultural Act to replace
the 1973 Act which expires
this year. He said that if a
program is not enacted this
year, the whole federal order

He noted that the
-agriculture ’ budget has
decreased to $2.5 billion from
$5.2 billion in 1970, and
suggested ' that certain
unrelated expenditures be
such as day care and food
stamps be removed from
that budget. He called upon
the public to be aware of the
decreasing budget, in
comparison with ether
areas, and said that the
department must remain
sound for a sound American
agriculture.
At the hearings, York
asked for a continuation of
P.L. 480 which allows
commodities to be sold and
used in foreign aid. He also
asked that an economic
formula be used in pricing
milk, including a clear
definition of the pricing. He
called for continuation of the
indemnity program and
asked that imported
agricultural products be
inspected at the source of
production.
York said he also asked
that a method be made
available to set aside a
portion of money from the
marketing of milk for a
retirement plan for work to make it easy for the
dairymen so there will be cooperative to market the
money available when a nulk advantageously by
