<br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />MR. JERMAN: <br /> <br />MR. PETERSON: <br /> <br />MR. JERMAN: <br /> <br />lUl~ <br /> <br />"Any day now. We are anxious to get <br />this information. Our final programing <br />conference will be held in Santa Fe the week <br />of the 26th and we are hoping we will have <br />that for that meeting. We have no idea at <br />all how much money would be needed from the <br />State and if any was contributed, how much <br />time would be saved or speeded up by the <br />contribution." <br /> <br />"The local people are more informed on <br />that. The topography to be covered there is <br />some forty to fifty thousand acres. We can <br />anticipate a cost of $1.00 to $1.25 an acre. <br />So I say we have got quite a spread in there. <br />We would like to follow that up immediately <br />after appropriations are confirmed." <br /> <br />"I have one other point. The possibility <br />of a State contribution to speed investigations <br />on the Dallas Creek project has been suggested <br />in discussions with local representatives. We <br />appreciate the offers to help and recognize the <br />valuable contributions that have been made by <br />the State and local people in the past. How- <br />ever, until our fiscal year 1959 appropriations <br />are final and we can determine the extent to <br />which adjustments can be made with our own <br />funds, we would elect to defer any consideration <br />of State moneys on the project to a later date. <br /> <br />The priorities of project investigations <br />approved by the Board on June 5, 1958, have <br />been considered in the preparation of our new <br />7~year investigational program. Investigations <br />have been tentatively scheduled to begin on the <br />small Parshall project in fiscal year 1960, <br />Yellow Jacket in ,fiscal year 1961, Battlement <br />Mesa, Tomichi Creek and Bluestone projects in <br />fiscal year 1963 and Two Bar, Troublesome, Ohio <br />Creek, Grand Mesa, Wessels, and Rabbit Ear pro- <br />jects in fiscal years 1963 and 1964. <br /> <br />Here is the point. You will note that I <br />have not mentioned the priority of new starts <br />in the southwest part of Colorado which were <br />mentioned by Mr. Crabtree. These are the San <br />Juan projects and San Miguel beginning this <br />fiscal year. In the priorities you have recom- <br />mended, or the projects you have recommended, <br />following San Miguel is the O'Neal. Now, as <br />described by Mr. Crabtree in our reconnaissance <br />report, which was prepared and submitted to the <br />
