A letter from the Clallam County Committee on Fisheries regarding the welfare of the Hoh River was rsad and
discussed briefly. It sites two major problems of concern to both ClaUam and Jt:lfferson Counties which are:
(1) the influx of trailer houses jammed up together as close to the river as possible causing increased demands
for protection from the river at periods of high water: and (2) Indian people have started a garbage dump
between the two small groups of houses on the river side of tho main road, which they fear will pollute the
estuary portion of the river.
The Board is uncertain as to what type of troller housos thoy'ro talking about and which area of Jefferson
County is involved. Chairman Kelly will check the matter out. in more dotall.
