Pueblo, Colorado

We have examined the balance sheets of Southeastern
Colorado Water Conservancy District as of December 31 I
1972 and the related Statements of Changes in fund
balance5, of revenues and ex?enditur~s, and of ~hanges
in U.S. Trusury Bills for the year then ended. Our
eXAmination was made in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards, and accordingly included
such tests of the accounting records and such other
auditing procedures as we considered necessary in the
circl.llDstances.

In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheets, state-
ments of changes in fund balance, of revenues and
expenditures, and of changes in U.S. Treasury Bills
present (airly the financial position of the Southeastern
Colorado Water Conservancy District at December 31, 1972
and the results of its operations for the year then ended
in conformity wl~h generally accepted accounting ?rinciple5
applied on a ba~il consistent with that of the preceding
year.
