Republic of Mexico, and based llpon suoh infonuation and data the Department of State has presented to the representatives of. the seven states a formula for the division of said waters between the United States and the Republic of Mexieo. NOW, THEREFORE, the representatives of tke seven states having approved the tl'eaty suggestion as ",_tained in suoh formula, express the hope that at the conclusion of the treaty negotiations the amount-of water to be delivered t6 Mexico may be substantially less than iohe emotlllt suggested in said fermula. The representa.. tives of the seven states are oonfident the treaty will oontain provisions .eoi:' 1:;he most oarefu1 oonservation or the water supply and for the fair ocmpensation to .....ter users within the United States ror the fe.oilities used in the delivery of water to Mexico." Dr. Nelson. a member of this Board and Director of the Colorado St..te Planning COllllllission, presented a request ror assistance in the ocmpletion and printing of certain maps respeoting land use in the State of Colorado. It was explained by him that a great deal of work had meen done on these maps and that funds were not available in his- department for their oompletion; that a former member of his staff engaged in this wot:k had ;,een later employed by the Colorado Water Conservation Board; that the maps would be of value to the Board in IJlll.tters of development or water resources; al!ld that every efrort should be made to preserve the work that had been aooomplished on these mapS so that they oould be made available to interested s1:;ate and federal agencies. He presented copies of maps showing the present smtus of the work and explain- ed that he had disoussed the matter with Governor.John C. Vivian. The assist- ance would oonsist of payment of salaries of personnel engaged in the work for the reproduotion of the maps; and 1:;h..t the expe:adi ture for this purpose would involve not to"exceed $900.00, probably a less 8JIIOtllll.t. Of' this amount '530.00 would be ror man-hlilurs and inoludes a drafisJllll.n and assistant, and about $380,00 is estimated for the reproduotion for Gne hundred to three hundred maps. (it was understood that this amount should, if possible, be re- duced through reproduc1:;ion of different types of ..ps). It _s moved by Mr. Dille and seooaded lty Mr. Smith that the Board approveel expenditure of the &mom ef money, not to ex- oeed $900.00, necessary to oomplete the elra.fiing and reproduotion of land use maps, work on whioh had: heretofere been pe.rtially cOlllpleted by the Color..do State Planning Cemmission, subject to the oondition tha1:; any money expended for sl10h purpose shall be out of the appropriation for theColor..do Water Conservation Board for the biennial period 1941-1943. The motion was unanimously oarried. Direotor Stone ~led attention to consideration or a voucher presented by the United States Geological Survey, in the amount of $2.771.47. He ex- plained that there would be additional vouohers to oQaplete the oooperative agreement now existing be~en the Board.and the Uni1:;ed States Geological Survey for stream gaging in aid of projeotinvestigation, in the total. ad- ditional amoont of $3.728.5.3. He asked for the approval of the Board for the payment of these amounts.
