U�R,AS, the City Council of the City of Renton at their regular Council
meeting on May 5, 1953, desire to do all within their power to secure National
appropriations to complete the final planning and start the actual construction_
on the Eagle Gorge Dam1 which we consider to be an essential Defense Project,

That this Resolution be addressed to the HONORABLE GLENN R. DAVIS, NIC CHAIR-
YU&N, CIVIL FUNCTIONS APPROPRIATION SUBCOMMITTEE, HOUSE APPROPRIATION CO'RJMITTEE,
WASHINGTON, D.C.
The completion of this project would contribute a great deal toward the
safety and defense of this area. The completion of the �aale Gorge Flood Control
Damon the Green River in King County, Washington, through the elimination of
floods, would provide a large area necessary for factory sites essential to the
Defense Program of our Country.
We wish to state that the Boeing Airplane Company plants in Renton and Seattle
are good examples of industries which could be located in the area, which would be
protected from floods by the construction of such dam.
WE THEREFORE URGE that the Honorable Members of your Committee give early
consideration and approval of the request herein outlined, and will give your
support to securing appropriations of funds sufficient to complete the planning
and to begin construction of the Eagle Gorge Dam.
