to be any better. This gets us up to the point <br />of having then spent $2 million and the wheels <br />are still spinning. <br />As far as the potential of exchange is con - <br />cerned physically, I think perhaps we could agree <br />that there is not a tremendous difference in <br />upstream potential exchange possibility from <br />either of those two sites. However, when it comes <br />to the conservation pool portion of either reser- <br />voir and its potential use therefrom downstream <br />in terms of regulation and potential further <br />usage, I think you have to know first what I you're <br />going to do on those upper tributaries before you <br />determine what you're going to have available for <br />conservation capacity in the lower reservoirs." <br />MR. STARLETON: "Gil, I'd like to hear from Dave Miller. <br />He's here for the Board and I'd like to see if <br />he has any comments." <br />MR. GILDERSLEEVE: "Dave. <br />MR. D.

I practice law as <br />Ben does. I happen to be a farmer and I support <br />the farm from the law practice and that farm <br />happens to be just about a half a mile from Bijou <br />Reservoir No. 2.

Should <br />the Narrows Dam be built, as I remember it, a <br />rather large acreage of land for right -of -way <br />would have to be acquired from a company of which <br />I am an officer. Just to make it still more <br />simple, I'm employed as counsel for the Henrylynn <br />Irrigation District and a couple of ditch com- <br />panies up here at Broomfield. This is an old, <br />trite saying that I have several hats to wear and <br />I'm wearing the hat today as a member of the <br />Colorado Water Conservation Board and as such, I <br />have an obligation to the entire state and to the <br />basin that I represent. <br />-16- <br />
