ciations throughout the State, leaving the sum of $800.00 to be paid by
the State of Colorado; ,that many of the Seventeen Reclamation States
which make up the Assooiation paid the entire assessments out of state
funds; that the State of Colorado since 1938 had paid annually the sum
of $800.00 toward the assessment; and that the assessment of Colorado
had been'increased from year to year from the sum of $1.666.66 in 1938
to t2.500 because of the expansion of reclamation development in the
State.

Thereupon M. C. Rinder1ider offered the following re-
solution and moved its passage:

RESOLUTION

BE IT RESOL.VED by the Colorado Water Conservation Board
that the Direotor is authcrized to draw a voucher in the
amount of $$00.00 upon the funds of the Board, appropriated
for the 1943-1945 biennium, to apply upon the assessment
against the State of Colorado for the maintenance, operation
and services of the National Reclamation Association to cover
the period ending June 30, 1945.

The motion was seconded by J. M. Dille and upon vote be-
ing taken the motion was unanimously carried and the resolu-
tion declared adopted.

The Director then recommended the renewal of a contract for
cooperative stream gaging between the Colorado Water Conservation Board
and the U. S. Geological Survey for the fiscal year beginning July 1,
1945. He pointed out that in a study of the gaging stations required
to carry out the program of project investigation during the ensuing
year it would be necessary for the Board to expend the sum of $7,500.
He further explained that this program involves the psrticipation of
the U. S. Bureau of Reclamation, as well as the U. S. Geological Survey
and the State of Colorado, and thil."t a payment of $7.500 by the State
would insure the expenditure of a like sum qy the U. S. Geological Sur-
vey and approximately a like sum by the Bureau of Reclamation, or a
total sum of $22,500 for the installation, maintenance and operation
of gaging stations during the next fiscal year for the purpose of aid-
ing in the investigation of water project development.

Thereupon Geo. A. Pughe offered the following resolu-
tion and moved its adoptionl
