Mr. Petry stated that he would like to correct one statement
made by Mr. Penfold. The statement regarding the 6,000 acre-feet of
water required hy the reclamation project is not correct, he said.
For the record, he added, the Denver ;Yat,er Board has oledged 10 per
cent of its SUG?ly to the Rocky Mountain Arsenal. ~. Petry said
the Arsenal has asked for 10,000,000 gallons of water per day in
addition to its present uses.
