MR. SCRUGHAM: I would object to that, bocauso we are taking in a good

part of those other states.
1m. HOOVER: The apportionment of the water is in the basin as dis-

tinguished botween the divisions.

MR. SCRUGPJJM, ~my havo divisions?

1m. C1RPTI~TER: Explains above and bolow Lee Forry.

MR. SCIWG!-L\H: Is the water divided betwoen the upper and lower basin or

upper and lower division?

l:m. HOOVill: ,\t 1ee Ferry.

Will. DAVIS: D1 Art. 3, the wators are apportioned between tho uppcr
and lower basin.
1m. HOOVER: That Basin might refer to the whole Colorado River Basin

and that would take you to the political division.

1m. DAVIS: He havo apportioned by divisions.

l.ill. HOOVER: We have apportioned by Bas:ins, that's my impression and

that's' why I loft the wording before. Simply say "to that Basin."

MR. SCRUGJ-L\M: Does that imply that isn't apportioned but that may be

availablo to use is unlaYiful or prohibitod?

MIl. mVIS: This is dealing rrith only prosent rights.

l.in. NORVIEL: All ought to be pormitted to take ,mel use it anel got what

is understood as a porfocted right.

JUDGE SLO.HJ: Why say "remaining veater" at all? You first said "the

old rights shall be the first rights and then you are attempting to define

the uses subsequently apportioned to it. Why limit it.

Ifill. D"lVIS:' Yom' idea would be to take out "remaining ''later.''

JUDGE SLmN: Vihy say "apportioned."

1iIR. HOOVE.It: If they are not going to confine them to their oym bases, -

JUDGE SLOAN: Thero is no claim under the other.
