nest important potential assets of the State or Florida. Full devoloment

Oakluaha River Basin, it is urged that early action be taken by our

necessity.

6'. RESOLVED, that the discharge chsnnel below Jim woodrui'! Don be
completed to project dineneions as soon as possible in order to minimise flood
losses and to increase the generation of power.

9. RESOLVED, that the develoment in the Contra end Southern part at
Florida has far exceeded the development anticipsted at the inception of this
prop-en end as this developeot has dangerously increased the critical need
for the early completion of the entire prom of Central and Southern
Florian Flood Control be approval and authorized in the forthcoming session
of Congress and that the Congress or the United States he further urged and
petitioned to accelerate the rate of appropriations for the completion or
the projects at e pace more nearly in keeping with the development of Central
and Southern Florida.

10. RESOLVED, that we, by this resolution, moose our oppreoistion to the
