on your maps, do you have any studies or plans
in progress in regard to the Yampa River?"

"No, sir, we do not have.. II

"Thank you."

"That's a pointed questionl"

"Mr. Ogilvie, I notice you don't have any

I want to congratulate you and the Denver

three times in water supply. Isn't there an
increase in water consumption per capita as
we go on with more and more modern applicances?
Also, have you given any thought to the fact
that some place, maybe Denver which all people
in Colorado are proud of, will ultimately have
too many people, too many social problems, too
much smog, too much pollution? I mean, isn't
there a limit someplace down the way where
you really need no longer worry about water,
but will need to worry about the fear of being
too congested?"

"To answer your last question first, I

a social problem, a prOblem that the politicians
will work out or a prOblem that the community
in developing their planning will work out.
We certainly will cooperate and work with com-

restrictions appear to be in the making. Cer-
tainly if there are limitations placed on a
community like Denver, probably satellites
