\1HEREAS, when the welfare of the state of
Colorado transcended the interests of a por-
tion of the state, John B. Barnard, Sr. was
willing to lend his substantial influence in
the fight for the rights of all of Colorado in
the struggles against sister states and for
appropriations for Colorado projects, and

WHEREAS, his foresightedness in assisting
in the organization and successful operation
of the Colorado Water Congress did much to
heal the wounds existing in Colorado as a
result of the water battles in which he had
participated so long, and

\~REAS, his opponents, his friends, and
the people of Colorado as a whole will miss
his counsel, his wisdom and his friendship,

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the
Colorado Water Conservation Board, in regular
meeting assembled, expresses its extreme regret
upon the death of John B. Barnard, Sr., and
directs that copies of this resolution be for-
warded to his widow and his sons, and spread
upon the official minutes of the Colorado Water
Conservation Board.'

I would like to have someone move the
adoption of this resolution by a rising vote."

MR. PETERSON:

"Hr. Chairman, I so move."

MR. NELSON:

Thereupon all members of the Colorado Water Conservation
Board arose in unison, unanimously approving the resolution.
