That, in the after war programs for work projects, all engineering surveys of our inland waters and marshes shall in elude biologists and other scientists, assuring that all values of organic resources will be given adequate consideration in such surveys. The agency constructing reservoirs should evaluate and compensate for wildlife values lost in the construction of such projects.

The state needs to inculcate into the public conscious ness the esthetic and economic values of song birds, because dis respect for these very common forms engenders disrespect for all other forms of wildlife.
