Susqnville Disqsler

A multi-million dollar fire raged through the Eagle Lake Lumber Company at Susanville early Sunday morninS June'I3, consuming five big interconnected buildings and most of the company's seven million board feet of inventory. Except for a small log deck and the recently constructed sawmill, the former Fruit Growers plant was leveled by the spectacular blaze which raged out of control for more than seven hours. The blazg from unknown causes, began about I a.m. and by the time it was brought under control flames had leveled practically the entire plant including all the big sheds, the planing mill, dry kilns, truck shop, most of the main log deck and a huge amount of valuable cut stock and finish lumber.

One of the main industries in the town of 7000. local officials rated the fire as one of the biggest disasters in Susanville's history.

Flood Victims Finolly Get Aid

Six months after the disasters occurred, President Lyndon B. Johnson has signed into law a bill authorizing $70 million in federal aid to Pacific Northwest flood victims, including purchasers of federal timber. An earlier relief bill had been vetoed by Mr. Johnson o*r the grounds that it contained provisions, not connected with flood aid, infringing on the prerogatives of the executive branch. This section was deleted from the second ibill and rushed through the House and Senate.

The measure authorizes reimbursement of federal timber purchasers for 85 percent of road reconstruction and future construction cost incr'eases due to the floods. Sen. Morse (D.Ore.) and Reps. Johnson (D-Calif.) and Clausen (R-Calif.) were mainly responsible for speeding congressional action on the legislation.
