<br />STATEMENT TO THE BOARD OF THE
<br />SOUTHEASTERN COLORADO WATER CONSERVANCY DISTRICT
<br />
<br />By J. Selby Young
<br />
<br />The President and Legal Counsel of the Board, in recent weeks, shouldered the
<br />brunt of an unusual attack against the Board, the District, and in finality the real
<br />issue is the waters of the Fryingpan Project. Questioned are the methods used _
<br />first, in the .development of such waters, and secondly, the costs of protecting and
<br />defending these same vital waters.
<br />
<br />It is now time that this Board, Ditch Companies, users of decreed surface rights,
<br />and other established water in~erests assume individual or collective responsibilities
<br />to the allegations and allegorical charges sponsored by a group of displeased under-
<br />ground water users. This minority found unlimited front page space in a City News-
<br />paper that is historically active and adept in publishing matters of contention and
<br />confusion.
