<br />stayed in touch with the property committee appointed to procure an office
<br />location for the District.
<br />The Property committee reported that it had been determined to
<br />purchase frontage of 200' but that it would not be feasible nor desirable to

<br />no effort toward rehabilitation and no funds had been distributed to them.

<br />SOOn as the expenses were known, he would make a report to the contributors.
<br />Mr. Sparks was asked to present the situation in connection willi the
<br />Central Arizona Project. He reported that the Colorado River Storage
<br />Project Act of 1956 culminated investigations of approximately 50 years and
<br />that this Act was based on the resolution of the Colorado Water Conservation
<br />Board for the inclusion, authorization and investigations of the projects
<br />named in that bill. Glen Canyon was the key to all regulation making possible
<br />an average annual consumption for the Upper Basin and that of the five small
<br />projects in Colorado aut!1orized by the 1956 Act, one would never be built
<br />and four were under construction a.nd 1B remained under investigation and
<br />feasibility reports. He reported that in 1957 the Colorado Water Conservation
