L. <br />~osley and the writer met today to delineate areas 2i dis- <br />aqreement in the Hill Report. <br /> <br />After a rather detailed consideration of the entire <br />.docu~ent, two areas were located in each of which there <br />was lack of agreement with the Report as to the acreage <br />and hence the a.nount of depletion involved. <br /> <br />(I) Acreaqe Added to Irriqated ~rea Q[ Private Initiative. <br /> <br />It is said that the Hill report overlooks an area <br />of 86,498 acres which has been added to the total <br />irrigated acreage by private initiative, extensions <br />of irrigation syste~s, and of which there is no <br />fornal account. <br /> <br />a. The 1948 Bngineering Advisory Committee <br />reported 790,600 acres <br />b. The Hill Report gives 824,072 " <br />c.
