m <br /> v <br /> 22 Q <br /> 0 <br /> 0 <br /> c <br /> 0 <br /> later on pt ,e 38 of the transcript, say of 50,000, hie idea <br /> apparently is that the Army then would allow us to raise our <br /> m <br /> 5851 and call the irrigation pool 50,000 acre feet more than <br /> we have arranged for, and take 50,000 acre feet at the Cadaoa z <br /> flood control capacity. <br /> 0 <br /> ieow, if that is attempted even by this Compact Commission, < <br /> the State of Colorado would be forced to object for the prao- <br /> ttoal ,reason that you could have half a dozen of those moor- <br /> vain. on the Picketwire, Apishapaw, Ruerfana, St. Oharles and <br /> the Fountain, and the flood of 1921, if it 000urred the same <br /> place it did, those reservoirs would ,not aid in the least in <br /> the control of that flood. <br /> we cannot tolerate a change of that kind, and I don't - <br /> believe Xaneae would, when they realize it is built for their <br /> irrigation as well as for their flood protection. I am telling <br /> you that as a praotioal proposition. There was no flood in <br /> the Picketwire, the Aplehapaw and the Ruerfano. I don't care <br /> whether you have a dozen reservoirs on them, it won't relieve <br /> Caddo& of the burden of controlling the flood it was designed <br /> and built to control. <br /> So, I think we have to it down with the Army and the <br /> Bureau first, if you feel like it, and find out; Ie the Army <br /> going to permit that. If they are not, we are not worried <br /> such about it. If they propose to permit the Department of the <br /> Interior to make that substitution just as long as the Compact <br /> Gommlttee want to propose it we will have to recommend to our <br />
