,... 'r" 'l:qh I' ;...~vJ~ -25- The Burlington, of course, would not be involved in the northerly relocation 3~OV.n on this map, but would be directly a.."\d adversely affected by the alternate ",'oute, south of the river, under which the relocated line of the Union Pacific "ould invade territory now served exclusively by Burlington at and immediately west of the town of Fort morgan. .' j"iithout suggesting that the Bureau should adopt any plan which is undesirable from its standpoint, I desire by this letter to put the Bureau on notice, (1) that the southerly relocation of the Union racific would invade terr~tory now served exclusively by the Burlingto~; (2) that such relocation could not be acconplished lawfully, without applica- tion to and approval by the Interstate Commerce Commission; and " (3) that, i~ and when such an application is submitted to the Commission, the Burlington will oppose vigorously such an effort to L~vade its territory. Yours very truly, E1i:mmp cc: i.fessrs.

I believe that Mr. Knights and i'ir. Tipton made a very fair and factual presentation of the proposed project. From the infornation presented, I believe that the Harrows Dam would prove of immense benefit to the areas downstream and in particular, Lo.>an and SedlPvick coun- ties by opening up neVi irrigated land and supplying additional >later to presently irrigated la.'1ds. It seems that liorgan county would also be benefited although much of its valuable land would be lost to agriculture production.
