<br />218 <br /> <br />MR. CRAWFORD: <br /> <br />3efore discussing this I think it should be <br />said that each of tpese contracts carries a <br />clause to the effect that upon request of the <br />contractor, the Water Board has the power to <br />extend the time,. just as we did a few minutes <br />ago with the Bureau of Business Research <br />contract. Mr. Meaker was in the office the <br />other d~. I explained that to him and he <br />seemed to feel quite relieved. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />MR. BAILEY: <br /> <br />Any suggestions with reference to this letter. <br /> <br />MR. ROBERTS: <br /> <br />Mr. Hill or Mr. Jewett have not requested <br />additional time or complained tDat they find <br />the data available to them insufficient.

I think t he Dean can explain <br />that. That is one thing the Bureau hadn 1 t got <br />yet. Back in the middle 30 I s under the direction <br />of Mr. Preston we made land classification surveys <br />for the entire Colorado Hi ver Basin and experience <br />has shown that some of the land we rejected has <br />subsequentlY been irrigated. We had to be <br /> <br />I <br />
