<br />""166 --4 <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />" <br /> <br />Mr. Beaty said, "I talked to Mr. Christy about the meeting <br />and he thought the Colorado Water Conservation Board should have <br />somebody attend these meetings because there were so many things <br />brought up we are interested in. They meet once or twice a year." <br /> <br />1 <br /> <br />Mr. Bell commented that they meet on occasion, this year <br />was first time in about two years. He remarked that Judge Stone <br />was quite active in that organization, and their meetings are <br />attended by some very outstanding men from the nation as a <br />whole, not Just from the western states. Others, he said, were <br />from Colorado, Texas, ~ennsylvania and the New England states. <br />Most of the officers of the association are from the New England <br />states. Most of the officers of the association are from the <br />New England states. As I recall their official members, the dues <br />for Colorado are $250.00 if they pay them. There is no real. <br />pressure to pay dues, it entitles the State to certain number of <br />votee, he concluded. <br /> <br />Mr. Saunders added "Sometime ago the Denver Water Department <br />sent representatives to those meetings. New contacts were made <br />with people in non-reclamation states who otherwise we would not <br />have met.. Think we should follow this up. Oftentimes we need <br />their help; good people. Unwise not to follow this type of contact. <br />Have indicated they have capacity for importance. Would like to <br />see our Director follow this up in Colorado. Denver would con- <br />tribute; people on Western Slope too. 1 believe this report that <br />Mr. Christy sent could well be circulated to the members of this <br />Board. <br /> <br />13.

He added that "Last year or <br />the year before, some water was retained in this basin on a <br />voluntary basis to keep fish alive. Afterwards, water was I. <br />released. The water is controlled by people who own it. ~hat's about <br />the Slli~ and substance of it. There isn't much that can be done <br />about keeping a pool in that reservoir at this time. Three weeks <br />ago water got to such a low stage that the limited storage was <br />drawn upon and the stream is now under control of the State <br />Engineer. " <br />
