Ruth Dam is to be completed by Dec. 31, 1961. Still to be construction are the diversion facilities and pump house at Essex and a pipeline to the future pulp mills at Samoa Peninsula. The HBMWD also approved an engineering and financial feasibility survey on the districts application for $300,000 in Davis - Grunsky Act funds for recreation. This money would be used to defray the cost of added height on the dam reg'd by DF for rec. and fish life.
