MR. CRAWFORD: "The meeting was called for looking into water
rights,"

MR. RIITER: "I will take.the responsibility for calling
that meeting. In the reconnaissance report
on Parshall, one thing that will have to be
settled is the question of water rights."

MR. CRAWFORD: "It is brought to the Board as an item of
information at this time."

MR. RITER: "It cannot be settled until we know to what
extent Denver plans to utilize its conditional
decree on Williams Fork. I wanted to try to
resolve it. However, Mosley said he was not
able to resolve it at this time."

MR. CRAWFORD: "The question is: If we can't go ahead with
Parshall, what others should be considered?"

DUANE BARNARD: "Does anyone from Denver have anything to say
about this?"

MR. PETRY:

"Money for the extension of Williams Fork has
been included in the recent bond issue,
Studies for that are going on now. In round
figures, it looks as though the reservoir might
be 70~OOO acre feet,"

MR. BAILEY:

"I think that if there are any further meetings
on that subject, we should get in touch with
someone on the Western Slope."

"I assumed our office on the Western Slope
could spea~ for that section of the State."

Further discussion of the subject followed.

MR. RITER:

After considerable discussion of the possibility of
setting a date for a meeting, Mr. Peterson made the following
motion.
