<br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />lUll <br /> <br />Senator Wilson from Nucla is back there. <br />We are grateful to have you here, Mrs. Wilson. <br />I may be overlooking some important dignitaries <br />here. Of course, I always consider everybody <br />that comes to one of these meetings as an im- <br />portant dignitary." <br /> <br />MR. LEW vIILLIAMS: "Mr. Chairman, I wonder if there are any <br />local people here who have anything they wish <br />to say about this or about the Pine River Ex- <br />tension ?" <br /> <br />MR. KROEGER: <br /> <br />"I don't know if I am qualified to make <br />any comment. The people around here have more <br />or less taken this thing as the Bureau presented <br />it to them, as an unfeasible report based on the <br />soil type. The water penetration of that soil <br />has been found to be not what they hoped and con- <br />sequently, that is what brought about the unfeas- <br />ible report. What action the Pine River District <br />and those Board people are going to take, I don't <br />know, but nothing has been brought to our Board <br />on it. We are, of course, mighty disappointed <br />in this report. Since Bill Crabtree has met <br />with those people he may know their attitude <br />better than I do." <br /> <br />MR. MOSES: <br /> <br />"I would assume, before this Board takes <br />any action, that it would come first from the <br />district and then probably to your Southwestern <br />Water Conservancy District Board and through <br />that to your representative on our Board. I <br />don't believe this Board should taken any action <br />now until we have had some expression from the <br />local people." <br /> <br />MR. LEW WILLIAMS: "I would like to make one more comment; <br />not regarding the Pine but the O'Neal Park. <br />As a Board we suggested that the completion of <br />that project might be reconsidered on the basis <br />of different crops. It was originally done on <br />the basis of mostly forage and pasture and those, <br />more or less, are short season crops. This land <br />is at a high elevation. Maybe it could be re- <br />considered from the standpoint of the possibility <br />of seed crops in grasses and certain legumes and <br />perhaps the possibility of potatoes and certain <br />vegatable crops, such as lettuce and the like. <br />If this change could be made, we have the hope <br />that O'Neal Park wouldn't be forgotten until <br />that economic situation is looked into." <br />
