.Irr He Ps6e Thme apparent approval of the States Lands commission,has given PGE pensission;to !
string their transmission towers-and eaMes aeroessthe Mouth dr Bodega' Bar and dower the longSth of Doraar Park.. This means that the BodegaBay airport will have to be shifted some place else to assasodate PGE..
That the land PGE has acquired for an airport in eschange
$sr the pre'esnt airstrip is tarsuitaMe, worthless and danSerous means nothing to the County.
Nor is the land of equal value,with PGE settit6'the best end of the deel'.

The. puMio is not. at all enthusiastic aboutt picnickin5,eamping, bathing or pmM*!; under those wires or alongside those towers,or near them.8urely that defeat of the ' entire bortssue is evidence of the displeasure of the voters.not only a6airrat the commercialization of Doran Fark,but displeasure of. FGE8s 1beation in this area,as well........
