<br />1055 <br /> <br />C <br />o <br />P <br />Y <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />CITY OF LITTLETON, COLORADO <br />July 16, 1958 <br /> <br />Colorado Water Conservation Board <br />State Office Bldg., <br />Denver 2, Colorado <br /> <br />Gentlemen: <br /> <br />The City of Littleton understands that you have <br />on your agenda for July 18th the question of the use of <br />Cherry Creek Dam and it's impounded waters for recreation <br />purposes. This is a worth-while project for that territory, <br />and we do not in any way by this letter disprove of the same. <br /> <br />However, it will take certain amount of water to <br />supply the project, and the City of Littleton does ncl want <br />to be in the position of losing any of it's water rights to <br />irrigators below Cherry Creek, on account of you taking their <br />water for this project and they are demanding more water <br />from the South Platte River to supply their prior rights. <br /> <br />So, we suggest that you make an engineering study <br />of the project and its effect upon the rights in the South <br />Platte River, before approving the same. <br /> <br />Very truly yours, <br /> <br />/s/ Horatio S. Ramsey <br />City Attorney <br /> <br />HSR:b <br />cc: City Manager <br /> <br />I <br />
