"I would like to inquire if the studies
from Greeley on have been published?"

"Material is available in our files and
should be published this coming year."

"Any other questions?"

"Continuing on 1121--"investigations on
the Rio Grande River in Colorado," that amount,
that $4,900, is what is left of money which
has been appropriated at two different times
by the Legislature. It is to be used for
studies which will help clear up the
misunderstandings Colorado is having with its
neighbors to the South.

Account 1122--Funds Closed Out. That
was appropriated by the Legislature for the
study of the water supply on the Western Slope.
$13,000 returned to the Legislature a year
ago.

Account l123--Balance $25,003.65 remains
of $50,000 made by the Legislature at the
last session in order to do some publicity
work in regards to the Upper Colorado River
Storage Act. The amount spent was through the
Aqualantes in Utah, Colorado, and New
Mexico. The funds spent were approved at
several places, and finally by the Governor.

Account l124--Cooperative surveys-$75,000.
We have not been able to spend any of that.
The Government has been able to assure us
they will have the force available with
which to do the work this year. I have noticed
that the Bureau has advertised for men."

"We have been able to pick up a few
personnel and are a little ahead of where
we were."

"There are always water studies on which
the money might be spent, that is, further
water studi~s in connection with the small
proJects approved for further study by Congress.

I have a letter from Mr. Bell:"
