<br />513 <br /> <br />MR. CRAWFORD: <br /> <br />!vIR. JERlJIAN: <br /> <br />MR. CRA'ilFORD: <br /> <br />MR. JERMAN: <br />r.m. MOSES: <br />MR. CRAWFORD: <br /> <br />MR. JE RJ'V[AN : <br /> <br />MR. PETERSON: <br /> <br />to fly the Silt area and the second was fly- <br />ing the West Divide project; and we had a <br />third, which was for flying both. It is esti- <br />mated the cost will be approximately $130,000 <br />and we don't have that much money. If we can- <br />not go forward on this project, it will leave <br />us in an undetermined position of what to do I <br />with the West Divide flying. We can either go <br />forward and ask the State to take over part as <br />we fully expect funds to be available that will <br />carry liS through the other half of the project <br />within two years. If the State would pick up <br />approximately one-half that contract, we feel <br />that this will come in by the 1st of July. <br />Our land classification will go on the Silt <br />Project just as soon as the weather permits." <br /> <br />"Approximately how much time would it save; <br />that is, would it expedite the program? Is <br />there assurance we will not be penalized by <br />having less money for other investigations." <br /> <br />"A check with the field office intimates <br />that we should be able to save eight months <br />to a year." <br /> <br />"Am I right in my assumption that in addi- <br />tion to advancing the West Divide, it will <br />advance the other projects?" <br /> <br />"I can assure you of that." <br /> <br />"Do we have the $55,000 available." <br /> <br />'7es,' we have. You will remember that <br />all together there was $100,000 appropriated. <br />The Governor put a stop sign on $25,000, <br />leaving a balance of $75,000. Since that <br />time we have advanced $8,000 for water studies <br />on participating projects so there is a re- <br />mainder of $67,000. It would be wise not to <br />obligate the total sum." <br /> <br />"You asked if the Bureau would be more or <br />less willing to check bids, etc., and I can <br />assure you we would help and cooperate all <br />we can, if you determine to advance this <br />amount. " <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />"I have a question pertaining to this. <br />It seems to me that $55,000 is a lot of <br />money to spend on one project. I am wonder- <br />ing if I understand you right, Mr. Jerman, <br />
