ARIZONA ',IATER CONSERVATION ASSOCIATION

WHEREAS death came without warning to Hon. Clifford H.
Stone, aged 64 years, at New Orleans, Louisiana, on October

"Judge" Stone, as he was generally and most familiarly known,

Board, and his outstanding work in that capacity brought about the

reclamation, the development of sound water conservation practicDs and
procedures, and the e~olution of water law. Because of his unquestioned
integrity and sincerity, his exceptional ability and his vast experience
in matters relating to water and water rights, his opinions and judgment
were respected not only in his home State of Colorado, b~t in all other
western states and by the representatives of the Federal Government. As
a result of his untiring efforts, he left a monumental conoribution to so-
lutions of the many water problems of the arid Vlest.

In the important &ud complicated Arizona water litigation commonly
knovm as "The Buckeye Via~er Suit," Judge Stone served with distinction
as mediator; and his ~~sdom and justness, and the esteem in vmich he was
held by the parties, brouu~t about its satisfactory settlement.
