Me CANDLE 55 : <br /> <br />MR. SPARKS: <br /> <br />MR. MILLER: <br /> <br />,'. <br /> <br />IIThat's true.1I <br /> <br />"So wouldn't it be proper that we have some <br />approval in principle of these changes?" <br /> <br />"Yes, I think that would be proper - approv- <br />al subject to such amendments as are agreed upon <br />by the conservancy districts." <br /> <br />"Mr. Chairman." <br /> <br />"Mr. McCandless." <br /> <br />"I'm curious as to what the other states are <br />doing. I'm in a peculiar situation over there <br />on both the Savery-Pot Hook and the Juniper. <br />Utah would have a conservancy district on one <br />and Wyoming on the other. Are those states fol- <br />lowing the same line on conservancy districts as <br />we have or do you know?" <br /> <br />"Generally, yes. Their conservancy dis- <br />tricts were patterned after ours. However, they <br />also ran into problems and they have amended <br />their statutes in different ways than we have <br />because some of the problems have been entirely <br />different. Utah, for instance, has made con- <br />siderable amendments to their original conser- <br />vancy district act. Initially they all improved <br />upon ours. They took out some OI the obvious <br />weak.points of ours. But they have followed <br />pretty much the same pattern. <br /> <br />Nobody has had a great deal of experience <br />with these conservancy districts until lately. <br />We have had very few districts. We had the <br />Northern and a few in western Colorado and that's <br />all we've had up until recently. Now I think <br />we have over twenty districts, and we will prob- <br />ably have another twenty formed within the next <br />ten years. We have some in the process of <br />formation right now. So we are just now really <br />getting into full experience with our conser- <br />vancy district act." <br /> <br />"Mr. Chairman." <br />
