Army Engineers
Unfavorable to
Lowhead Dam
The proposed towhead dam on
the Missouri river near Bismarck
is not cnidered feasible from an
engineering or economic point of
view.
Army engineers have submitted
an tmfawrable report through
their Missouri river division office
in Omaha, Neb. The survey was
atthorized l l/z years ago by the
aerate public works committee.
Bismarck officials had asked the
investCigatti to determine feasi-
bility of building a dual purpose
dam, to provide a crossing for the
'proected irtersate highway and
,to provide an area for recreation,
boating and fishing.
The ergincers' report said the
sorage capacity would be small
and so flaere would be no flood
control benefits...Th power bene-
fits hat could be derived would
be insufficient o justify the con-
structR)n of power general facili-
iies,, and these is no immediate

prospect )f commercial namgaho .
While there would be an in-
crease in recreational boating fa-
cilities there would be damage to
wildlife nesting areas, the report
said. The water supply ir ,the city
of Marzdan might be affected
through increased algae growth.

Board Resumes
STS Hearings
The state board of administration
resumed its hearing this week into
allegations of mistreatment at the
State Training School at Mandan.
State Sen. Charles Murphy of
Mandan said Saturday that some
employees have expressed fear that
they may be fired if they testify.
Murphy asked that they be given
immunity from discharge.
Board Chairman H. H. Joos said
no employees of the school will
be discharged for testifying at the
hearing, but that on the other hand,
the board would not guarantee any
• 'five-year contracts."
The hearing is a resumption of
one begun at the school Nov. 9,
following allegations of six legisla-
tors that four boys were disrobed
i and shackled together as punish-
ment for running away.
Murphy, a member of a legisla-
tive research committee group as-
signed to study the school, has been
critical of what he called a secret
investigation.
The research subcommittee is
scheduled to sit as observers at the
resumed hearing. Murphy has in-
dicated he intends to seek a more
active role than observer.
