WHEREAS, Salt Lake City presently has and strongly desires to
maintain one of the highest quality water supplies in the United States;
and
WHEREAS, the canyons in the restricted watershed area of Salt Lake
City are closely adjacent to a densly populated area which enjoys
large numbers of visiting tourists each year who, as a part of their
visit and tourism, are increasingly desirous of visiting, for picnic-
ing, camping, skiing and otherwise enjoying the beauty and ready access-
ability of these pristine and rugged canyons of the Wasatch Mountains
which should be preserved for the visits of such tourists, who otherwise
would have no such access, and for the enjoyment of the local residents
and future generations of Americans; and

Bill No. 5. 1144 to the United States Senate for consideration of the
purchase for public use of certain private lands in the Salt Lake City

beauty of the area, proper management and protection and the preserva-
tion of such lands for public use, and the prevention of stream pollu-
tion; and
