<br />.::::.::::.qu <br /> <br />JUDGE CONOUR: <br /> <br />MR. SPARKS: <br /> <br />MR. SMITH: <br /> <br />to you, as usual there have been amendments to <br />the amendments." <br /> <br />"Is that the one dated January 9th, Larry?" <br /> <br />"It's dated January 9th and pertains only <br />to the Colorado River Water Conservation Dis- <br />trict and the Southwestern Water Conservation <br />District. That bill was drafted at the request <br />of those two districts. What it does - Hins- <br />dale County is split between the San Juan Basin <br />and the Colorado River Basin, or the Gunnison <br />River Basin. The people in the Gunnison River <br />Basin of Hinsdale County felt that their de- <br />velopment, and properly so, the only develop- <br />ment they can ever receive, is from the Gunni- <br />son River. So this request initiated from them, <br />that that part of Hinsdale County which lies <br />north and west of the Continental Divide and <br />being within the Gunnison River Basin be ad- <br />mitted as a member of the Colorado River Water <br />Conservation District_ They were included as <br />another county in the Colorado River District <br />and taken out of the Southwestern. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />The remaining part of Hinsdale County which <br />is within the San Juan Basin will remain as a <br />member of the Southwestern District. And the <br />Southwestern District requested that Mineral <br />County, that portion of it which lies within <br />the San Juan Basin, be made a member of the <br />Southwestern District. That was accomplished <br />in the legislation. <br /> <br />There was a revision also in connection <br />with the payment to the board members which <br />heretofore has been $5.00 per day. That has <br />been increased to $25.00 per day. Those board <br />members devote their time to the operation of <br />the district. As I say, that was done at the <br />request of the two districts and as I under- <br />stand it, they have seen these last revised <br />amendments and they are satisfactory to them." <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />"Larry, you passed up Saguache County." <br />
