<br />0'&45 <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />MR. PETERSON: <br /> <br />"I move that we approve the comments <br />the Direcor intends to make before <br />the Congressional Committee holding <br />hearings in Denver." <br /> <br />MR. BARNARD <br />(J ohn ) <br /> <br />"I would like to make one suggestion. <br />In connection with the first point <br />regarding Federal control of water, I <br />make the suggestion that you consider <br />advising this Committee of the fact <br />that our Constitution, which is <br />approved by the Congress, provides <br />that the waters of Colorado belong to <br />the people of Colorado. That would <br />be my only suggestion." <br /> <br />"I would like to present for the <br />consideration of this group that we <br />endorse the theory that adjudication <br />of water rights should remain in the <br />State Courts." <br /> <br />MR. MILLER: <br /> <br />After discussion, the motion was seconded 'by Mr. Miller <br />and, on vote being taken, the motion was carried unanimously <br />and Mr. Crawford's statement was approved with the sug- <br />gestions made by Mr. Barnard and Mr. Miller. <br /> <br />Mr, Bailey then introduced Mr. Luther Symons, <br />Secretary of the Colorado Water Well Contractors Association <br />to the Board and asked Mr. Symons if he had any comments <br />to make. <br /> <br />Mr. Symons replied tha~ he had found the meeting <br />very interesting and had no other comments at the present <br />time. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Mr. Crawford mentioned that this organization, <br />the Colorado Water Well Contractors Association, had <br />written a resolution-approving the Colorado Water <br />Conservation Board budget which we had requested for <br />underground water. <br />
