<br /> <br />of compact "hich I presented, and to Vlhich I am. not committed <br /> <br />at all, - having prepared the same as other commissioners have, <br /> <br />by way of basis of discussion, - I took the old Lee's Ferry, <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />original Lee's Forry, as the point of demarkation, first because <br /> <br />it was accessible; second, because it was the mouth of the neck <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />of the funnel, if I may so term it. It was the natural point <br /> <br />Vlhere the waters coming in from the catchment basin all account <br /> <br />for themselves bofore passing down through the neck of the fun- <br /> <br />nel and to the country below. Because, furthor, it included the <br /> <br />Paria, which is essentially a stream of the upper basin, while <br /> <br />if the present lDe I s Ferry Here taken it ,-muld eliminate the <br /> <br />Paria and to that degroe eliminate a stream. that has its source <br /> <br />primarily in the State of Utah. <br /> <br />The matter of elimination or inclusion of the Paria is <br /> <br />a matter of the exercise of discretion of the Commission, of <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />course, but the appealing considerations that led to my sug- <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />gestion on this point primarily result from the natural condition <br /> <br />in the topography location, or result primarily from the geogra- <br /> <br />phical location and the accessibility of the point. As I am <br /> <br />advised, the river in that vicinity is easy to gauge, and may <br /> <br />be approached from either side. <br /> <br />MR. ENERSON: Mr. Carpenter, ,,Jouldn't there over come a <br /> <br />time Vlhen this station might be flooded by the' creation of re- <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />seNoirs? <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />MR. CARPENTER: Yes, sir, If the station "lOre flooded by <br /> <br />13th - S.F. <br />5 <br /> <br />99 <br />
