<br />I <br /> <br />MR. STAPLETON: <br /> <br />MR. CUYKENDALL: <br /> <br />MR. STAPLETON: <br /> <br />MR. CUYKENDALL: <br />MR. STAPLETON: <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />SENATOR OLIVER: <br /> <br />1715 <br /> <br />of these days you are going to have to in- <br />vestigate the other thing. In other words, <br />there is a man who has a well where the gravel <br />is shown to run from the river to his well, is <br />he entitled to a surface right and a ground <br />water right also? These are things which have <br />had to be worked out in other states when they <br />reached that stage and I am sure that Colorado <br />will eventually have to face that same problem <br />and come up with some answers. <br /> <br />Thank you." <br /> <br />"Mr. Cuykendall I may have misunderstood <br />you but your resolution talks about a special <br />technical study task force to be created with <br />adequate financial support.

He has been <br />intimately acquainted with this ground water <br />problem and he has been very generous to our <br />Board in supporting us, financially and other- <br />wise. I'd like to hear from you if I may, at <br />this time, Senator Oliver." <br /> <br />"Thank, you, Ben. I'm not thoroughly <br />familiar with the resolution that the Ground <br />Water Commission presented to this Board but as <br />I understand it from the discussion here, they <br />are asking for a study, a technical study, or <br />
