<br />~ <br />L1~ <br /> <br />AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED-- <br />That the present indebtedness under this compact <br />be paid with surface waters as originally intended when <br />and if climatic conditions will permit. <br /> <br />Saguache County Farm Bureau <br />Authorized Committee <br /> <br />Vern Howey <br />Norbert Beiriger <br />Dean Patterson <br />T. C. Alexander <br /> <br />( <br /> <br />/s/ <br /> <br />I forwarded this to Dean Crawford <br />under date of letter dated <br />February 24 which, for the <br />purpose of the record I will read: <br /> <br />Hon. Ivan C. Crawford, Director <br />Colorado Water Conservation Board <br />State Office Building <br />Denver, Colorado <br /> <br />Dear Dean Crawford: <br /> <br />Herewith I enclose a Resolution adopted by the <br />Saguache County Farm Bureau objecting to pumping <br />water to meet the requirements of the.Rio Grande <br />Compact. <br /> <br />I certainly understand the concern of these <br />people and I know that everyone is anxious to <br />learn whether or not the proposed sump water <br />salvage plan will adversely affect any of the <br />exisung land owners and irrigators. <br /> <br />In my opinion the investigation which the Legislature <br />has authorized should go far to give us the answers <br />to these perplexing questions. <br /> <br />I have no hesitancy in saying that if the <br />proposed plan does adversely affect existing water <br />users, that I would not be in favor of such <br />a project. <br /> <br />On the other hand, if the investigation <br />demonstrates that the plan will not adversely <br />affect anyone, I feel sure that they and I will <br />have to be convinced. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Very truly, <br /> <br />MOSES & DeSOUCHET <br />by/sf Raphael J.
