<br />I hope, Bob, that you can alert at least the seventeen western states <br />through your organization. It seems deplorable to me that our friends <br />could get as turned around and attack us. <br /> <br />Mr. Bark~: We have started with a couple of them. One is Texas, <br />The other is Idaho. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />~tr. Kroeqer: Good: <br /> <br />Mr. Goslin: Somebody better try to get South Dakota too. I will <br />admit I couldn't. <br /> <br />~tr. Kroeqer: The Southwest Board also passed a second resolution at <br />their last meeting in regard to the methods of notifying interested <br />people when there is a change in the use or a change of point of <br />diversion or any other water right changes. It is our feeling in <br />that area and maybe it is a local situation, but we don't think it is. <br />At least it is being allowed to happen under the law, that when <br />changes in water uses come about that interested people have a poor <br />method of being advised of this. Unless they are alert and watching <br />,the publication in the newspaper, which they might even watch this <br />and still not be aware of what is happening unless they are spending <br />a tremendous amount of time looking up their water interests, changes <br />can be made and they could be severely hurt and really not be aware <br />of it until some time later when it is too late to appeal. We have <br />urged that this board take some action in urging the legislature to <br />amend that law so that adequate protection can be afforded to those <br />water users. <br /> <br />~tr. Stapleton: You are not implying that this should be on the <br />Governor's Special Call, are you? <br /> <br />Mr. Kroeqer: Well, I would be very pleased if it could be. <br /> <br />Mr. Vandemoer: Mr. Chairman. <br /> <br />Mr. Stapleton: Yes. <br /> <br />~tr. Vandemoer: I don't know if it is just local, but Fred, we are I <br />living with this. In fact, it is this sort of thing now, Fred, that <br />is letting the South Platte river run. You say you don't have 'the <br />notice. I don t know. You know that most of the action has been in <br />the South Platte and you have to read a paper, sometimes, four or <br />five pages, to find out if you are going to be hurt. But I think if <br />you make it any more complicated than you have it now - of course <br />again, on plans of augmentation and on all these changes of point of <br /> <br />-36- <br />
