<br />126 <br /> <br />April 27, 1953 <br />Morning S~ssion <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />The meeting was called to order at 10:00 a.m. by George <br />J. Bailey, Vice-Chairman. <br /> <br />Vice-Chairman Bailey made the following announcements: <br /> <br />Governor Thornton, Chairman, could not serve on the Board <br />today as he was in Canon City. Mr. Saunders was acting for <br />Mr. Ammons. Mr. Hunter remarked that he would have to leave <br />the meeting at 3:00, and Mr. Beaty stated he would be leaving <br />at 4:30. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />1. Therefore, Mr. Bailey said that in view of this, and <br />because he noted there was a delegation present from the San <br />Luis Valley, if there was no objection, in order to conserve <br />their time the Board would take up any matters in which these <br />gentlemen were interested. Mr. Bailey requested Mr. Headlee <br />to ask the delegation from the oan Luis Valley if they had <br />anything in particular to discuss. They reported they had <br />come to Denver to meet with the State Engineer, and had nothing <br />in particular to bring up at the Board meeting. <br /> <br />Mr. Breitenstein stated that there were two matters <br />which had been brought to his attention regarding the San <br />Luis Valley. One was the manner in which the ~10,000 appropriated <br />to the Board by the Legislature, H. B. 467, will be spent. <br />Second, he stated it had been mentioned to him that Mr. Raphael <br />Moses, Attorney, of Alamosa, involved in the handling of the <br />report on the proposed Wagon Wheel Gap Jam, would be here at <br />the meeting late this afternoon and wants to request certain <br />action from the Board. Mr. Breitenstein remarked' that he didn't <br />know Mr. Moses' view, but that the San Luis Valley, as a whole <br />is interested in the manner in which this $10,000 is to be ex- <br />pended. He added that if any of the group present had any request <br />in regard to Wagon Wheel Gap Dam they should be heard. In this <br />connection, Mr. Breitenstein referred to a lettet from Mr. Tipton <br />regarding the investigation of this project, and his own memo- <br />randum submitted to the Appropriations Committee of the House <br />of Representatives. <br /> <br />Mr. Crawford advised at this point that Mr. Moses had <br />telephoned from Alamosa and is to have his group here at <br />4:30 this afternoon and would like to talk about this matter. <br />Mr. Moses is spokesman for the group, Mr. Crawford said, and <br />requested that this matter be delayed until he comes. <br /> <br />Mr. Breitenstein said that it was unfortunate that <br />Mr. Hunter and Mr. Beaty had to leave before that time, as the <br />matter regarding the expenditure of the $10,000 appropriation <br />is very important, and a very serious matter to the Board. <br />
