<br />made. We subscribed to the mailing list of the Water Judge's office. <br />It is $12 a year and it is quite a volume of paper, but we get every <br />filing that is made every month. Then you have your thirty days to <br />contest any filing that has been made or any objection to it. Now <br />maybe that is available in your water district. <br /> <br />Mr. Kroeqer: I wish I were more J~nowledgeable about the situation I <br />because I have heard others indicate that the situation that exists <br />in our water district is not happening in theirs and this perhaps <br />need not happen in ours. Perhaps there is some procedure that could <br />be followed that would make it easier for us. But the very fact that <br />it can happen and is happening disturbs me because I don't think it <br />is the way we want to administer the water. <br /> <br />~tr. Ford: Larry, doesn't this come under the state engineer's duties, <br />on the administration? <br /> <br />~tr. Sparks: No, this is a court procedure we are talking about. <br /> <br />Mr. Stapleton: Fred, would it be all right if we hold this in abeyance <br />and work it out if you can? <br /> <br />Mr. Kroeqer: I will go home and do some more homework on it, Ben. <br />And I will come back later on. <br /> <br />~tr. Stapleton: Thank you. Is there any other business to come before <br />the meeting? <br /> <br />Mr. Rollv Fischer: Mr. Chairman. <br /> <br />Mr. Stapleton: Yes, sir. <br /> <br />Mr. Fischer: I am Rolly Fischer of the Colorado River Water Conserva- <br />tion District. I would like to call to the board's attention <br />another problem. Last year the legislature passed Senate Bill 313 <br />which changed the diligence period each two years to each four years. <br />There is only one water judge in the state, that being Judge Stewart <br />in Water Division 5, who takes that to apply to all diligence orders <br />for conditional decrees entered previously. As I understand it, the <br />other judges are ruling that it applies only to conditional decrees <br />entered after the enactment of that legislation. <br /> <br />I have had a conversation with Senator Dan Noble on this point. Our <br />counselor, Mr. Balcomb, is going to be in correspondence with the <br />Senator. I think the intention of that legislation was to provide for <br />a diligence period of each four years. I think it is a serious matter <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />-38- <br />
