CRAWFORD: "You will reme~ber last spring this Board' <br />approved a communication commenting favorably <br />on this flood control and small irrigation <br />project at Trinidad. Those comments were to <br />the Chief of Engineers office. <br /> <br />"I think I told you that the comments of <br />.Kansas were unfavorable. Since that time, <br />we have made a rather complete study of just <br />what the effect would be on John Martin <br />Reservoir and find that in an average year, <br />not more than an average of 500 acre-feet <br />would be the amount of depletion. <br /> <br />"At' the present time, a motion to report <br />favorably by the Arkansas River Compact <br />Administration is on the table and comments <br />have not been forwarded to the Chief of <br />Engineers. <br /> <br />"There is still a little trouble with <br />regard to so~e asPects of the problem as far <br />as Kansas is concerned." <br /> <br />5.

We expect to have it ready by <br />the middle of January." <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />/- <br /> <br />I <br />
