The Secretary of the Interior has authorized the Recla- 

 mation Service to arrange for the construction of dams to 

 create two storage reservoirs in connection with the North 

 Platte Irrigation project, Nebraska-Wyoming. The gen- 

 eral plan for the development of the canal system includes the 

 construction of three supplemental storage reservoirs along 

 the Interstate Canal about nine mines northeast of Scottsbluff, 

 Nebraska, known as reservoirs 1, 2 and 3. They are to re- 

 ceive their water from the main canal and are to feed lateral 

 systems covering about 46,000 acres. Work on the project has 

 now advanced to the point where it is necessary to construct 

 the dams for reservoirs 1 and 3.
