<br />CHAIRM1~N, So, th~ J:).oool.!li'ltioll\s from CALIFORNIA are <br />EVAN HEWES aud fLAYMO:ND M.AT'I'I'lE:'I'i. <br /> <br />'- <br /> <br />Next, COLORADO. The lI\i'llnes appearing here are C.X-LEADER <br />of Superior, and DWIGHT W 0 SEXTON, of Durango. Now, we have some <br />new men from Col.oraclo. What do you say -. Who do you, want for your <br />Directors? <br /> <br />" <br /> <br />MR. WAND: Mr.Chairman, I don't know these two <br />gentlemen and they we)t'e not here at that special meeting called last <br />Aggnst. Whether or not they are still interested, I don't know. I don't <br />know if you have heard from them or not. We came as observers, and <br />not officially from any particular group, except our own little water <br />district, and we came to learn, and we are not asswning authority, or <br />are we responsible to the ones who are to serve as the directors of <br />Colorado. Apparently, there isn't too much interest in this o,rganization, <br />and I don't l'eally know what to tell you under the circumstances. <br /> <br />CHAIRMAN: Mr. Wand, you seemed to have the interest <br />to come twice. <br /> <br />MR. WAND; Personally, we are very much interested, and <br />our little organization is interested enough to pay our expenses down here. <br /> <br />CHAIRMAN, Well, if you men are too modest, how would it <br />be to let you act? Mr. Bader ..-1 don't know--we haven1t heard from him <br />at all -- <br /> <br />MR. ~EWES~ Mr. Prel\ident, I don't believe that Mr. Wand is <br />herf-! ill any different pOllition than Ii great number of us. In other words, <br />as ,far as I am personally concerned here, 1 am here representing a gl.OUp <br />of water users in the State of California, and I speak with no authority <br />for the State of California as such, and our background and this group <br />gathering wasn't the intent of a political organization of ,States to speak for <br />that State, but, the purpose of the organization, Mr. W.and, was to get the <br />actual waterusers together so that we could discuss problems we might <br />have in common as water users, and not, you might say, in any political <br />reprellentation of the State 0 1 don't want to speak for the men of Utah, <br />but 1 think they are here in the same capacity as 1 am, representing the <br />water users of the State of Utah, so I think you and Mr.Girling are here <br />in the same capacity as a nwnber of the rest of us are. <br /> <br />'(;HAIRMAN, That's well taken. You know the name <br />"Colorado River Water Users Association" --not "Colorado River Valley <br />States'I-- They are water users, and you are representing the water users <br />of your small associations, or even individually. Will that be all right to <br />have Mr. Wand and Mr.Girling as Directors? <br /> <br />-9- <br /> <br />,I <br /> <br />~; : <br /> <br />" <br />
