<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />3045 <br /> <br />-4- <br /> <br />RESOLUTION <br /> <br />BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of County Commission~rs of Larimer County, <br />Colorado, oppose the construction of the Narrows Dam in Morgan County <br />as contemplated by the United States Bureau of Reclamatioh. Particularly <br />do we oppose the construction during times when the moneys and efforts <br />of the Government should be directed toward the emergencies created by the <br />international situation which now confronts us ~ No possible reason exists <br />to presently consider the construction of the proposed dam. In the opinion <br />of this Foard, the expenditure of the funds for the construction of the dam <br />would merely be one more example of the waste of federal funds which could <br />be put to better use elsewhere. Any possible benefit from the construction <br />of the dam would be more than offset through the loss of an area taken and <br />used in the construction of the dam. <br /> <br />BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this Resolution be sent to all re- <br />presentatives of Colorado in Congress, and to, Governor Dan Thornton, and <br />to the Colorado Water Conservancy Board in Denver, Colorado, and to the <br />Bureau of Reclamation at Denver, COlorado, and in Washington, D.C. <br /> <br />We urge you to take note of this action with the conviction that we, as <br />Americans, must get back to sane, reasonable practices within the limits of <br />our capacity. <br /> <br />Very truly yours, <br /> <br />(S) A. Walter Lawson <br />(S) R. H. Watts <br />(s) Ernest Fischer <br /> <br />GREEEEY, COLORADO <br />March 6, 1952 <br /> <br />Mr. Clifford H. Stone, Director <br />Colorado Water Conservation Board <br />State Office Building <br />Denver, Colorado <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Stone: <br /> <br />At our 1952 Weld County Farmers' Institute in Greeley the following resolution <br />was adopted and we wish to submit same to you. <br /> <br />"Resolved, that we oppose the Narrows Dam and request that the Colorado Water <br />Conservation Board join wit!l the water users of the South Platte in working onto <br />a plan for up-stream contl'ol." <br /> <br />"We recommend that the administration of water rights in Colorado be continued <br />under Colorado law." <br /> <br />lr <br /> <br />Very truly yours, <br /> <br />/s/ George L. James <br />County Agricultural Agent <br />
