<br />ANNUAL REPORT FOR 196_ <br /> <br />dam. Water which originates in the area between Las Animas and <br />the Reservoir outlet are not measured. In 1960 inflows to the <br />Reservoir amounted to 102,990 a.f. and the outflow 117,700 a.f. <br />River accretions in the Reservoir area 14,710 a.f. In 1961.inflows <br />136.460 a.f. outflow, 147,700a.f. Accretions, 11,360 a.f. In 1962, <br />intlows, 124,300 aJ. and outflows 149,500 a.f. Accretions 25,200 a.f. <br />In 1963 the outflows exceeded the inflow by 12,160 a.f. In 1964 <br />inflows was 40,990 a.f. and outflows 59,530 a.f. Accretions 18,550 <br />..f. which was almost on...third of water diverted in District No. 67. <br />During years oilarger infloWll and qreater storage in John Martin <br />there are undoubtedly large quantities of waier not measured at <br />the two gauges at Las Animas. The accretions are harder to <br />determine because of the factors of evaporation, sedimentation aPod <br />seepage, but they appear \0 be there just the same. <br /> <br />Political pressure to create this permanent pool in John <br />Martin Reservoir is again given impetus by the election of a new <br />representallve in Congress from this district. It is hoped that he <br />will consult with local water users as well as competent fish tech. <br />nictans before introducing the proposed Bill in Congress. <br /> <br />This year the old waste gate at May Valley was replaced <br />with a new radial gate that can be easlly operated. It proved its <br />worth during the May 29th flood as this section was the center of <br />some of the heaviest rain. Careful appraisal is being made of some <br />other sections on the Lamar division with the hope that floods <br />oeeming here can be better controlled. <br /> <br />The Superintendent's report shows the amount of water <br />received and the distribution. The maintenance problem this year <br />has been greatly increased by the flood and dry weather. Clear. <br />ance of brush and trees in preparation for re-alignment have kept <br />all operational personnel busy. <br /> <br />The report of our Secretary shows in detall cash receipts <br />and disbursements, also a budget prepared by the Board of <br />Directors, which they hope will be sufficient for next year's needs. <br /> <br />The books and accounts of the Company have been <br />oUtcially audited and report will be avallable at the annual meet- <br />inq. <br /> <br />I want to again thank the employees, directors and stock- <br />holders for their hearty cooperation throughout the year. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br />HARRY C. NEVIUS <br />PRESIDENT <br /> <br />PII,e 6 <br />
