<br />173 <br /> <br />Mr. Dille questi~ned whether we have funds for this, <br />and Mr. Crawford answered that the only income is licensing fees <br />from drillers. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Mr. Dille inquired if we have any contact vri,th State <br />1,"ell Drillers I\ssociation, and Mr. Crawford said only through <br />telephone conversations. <br /> <br />Mr. Hunter asked, "Have you al1,y idea of how many well <br />drillers will apply, to w~ich !ir. Crawford answered that 200 is a rather <br />liberal estimate, which would represent approximately $5,000. <br /> <br />lfr. Dutcher inquired, "What do you tell them?" <br /> <br />Mr. Crawford replied, "liot organized yet, not set up to <br />take care of business. I would like to explain that when this bill <br />was before Committee for consideration, Mr. Gildersleeve took the <br />resolution of Board and read it to them and that 1 appeared before <br />Mr. Dunbar at suggestion of Governor's Secretary, Mr. Kramer. <br />Mr. Saunders 'appeared before the Comlnittee but the Bill was passed." <br /> <br />Mr. Headlee said, "l told them the Water Board did not <br />want anything to do with this; understood it was to be put under <br />jurisdiction of the State Engineer." <br /> <br />Mr. Dille asked Mr. Breitenstein, "Does this Board <br />pave such police powers?" <br /> <br />!Ar. Breitenstein replied that the Board is supposed <br />to take account of legislative action." <br /> <br />Chairman Bailey asked, "On our appropriation bill, <br />isn't our Board limited to certain purposes?" <br /> <br />Mr. Breitenstein answered, "Don't think so. Appropriated <br />so much money for certain classes of accounts. Is not restricted to <br />any particular use. I pointed out that the appropriation was inadequate <br />that the Board would not have enough money. Senator Hazard said <br />Judge Stone had stated income from licenses would be enough. I cannot <br />believe this." <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />~r. Crawford remarked that this question might be <br />cleared up a little bit by referring to the budget. There is in that <br />budget from ro~gh figuring, 8 to 10 thousand dollars which is not <br />ogligated at present time, largely composed of the salary for an <br />Assistant Director. <br />
