This =akes a total difference in these two ite~s of 782 acre <br />feet. <br /> <br />I flnd an error of 15~ acre reet in my form9r tabulations of div'3r- <br />Sions, which would inerellll8 the Ulount ot 2!,058 acre fe"t 8B report..d to <br />you, to 25,070 acre teet. These changes would increnee the total diversions <br />to apparentl, 2~,B42 acre feet, should we agree that the seepage intercepted <br />by the above two ditchee ahould be chargeable to diver610ns by those ditches. <br /> <br />As to Hem 5, our principal dUferencell arise as a result of <br />different conceptio:lB in COIll?uting Buch charges. Also, durine &y ::9, ~O, <br />~, the river 'I'B.lI administered on . priority balli. so thpt div..r8ionl ~ the <br />aereral junior prioritiel ahave Ceddoa were not Charged 8S additional or <br />excees d1verllona. <br /> <br />Your total di~er6ione by junior prio::-1tiel5 ahave Caddoa, check qu1te <br />- closely - nth IllS own, except in e. few lnst.eucell. TheGe total d1vers1onll by <br />junior priorities above Caddoa, uO'l'over, should be chargeable against Colorado'a <br />anticipated eurplus only to the extent that these ditches would have been re- <br />quired to pass water to aeNe dit.che6 be~ow Caddoa F-eservoir, bad the river <br />been administered on a priority bae1e. <br /> <br />River accretions between ~he head of the Las Anilllas Town ditc!::>, the <br />1alJt diverll10n point abovs CaddolL l!.lld t.he heedgate of the Bu!'flllo Citch, lIlUlJt <br />be t~ken into consideration. Likewise, I have allowed for e lost in transit <br />ror dellverin;; water which th.. upstream ditehes did divert., bed they been <br />required to pass tbie water to satisfy senior decrees below Caddoe Reservoir. <br />'1'he ballic figure used, was an everage of ~80 s.!. each day, which would have <br />been required to he passed by npetree.:ll ditches to t.ake cere of swor Color"do <br />ditch decrees b9lo~ Caddoa Reservoir, since the Purgatoire contributed ~..ry <br />little during :lay. <br /> <br />u a result 0:' theee differences in a?proach to the prob19m, I feel <br />that a meet1ng between us at an early date for resolving these viowpoints <br />should be haC.
