Mr. Stockwell: "The Soil Conservation Service in the
Rocky Mountain area has been rather low in
finances for making snow surveys so we
" talked to Governor Thornto:-, am he
suggested we go see the Director of the
Water C onse rva tion Board wi th re gard to
getting this State's support. Utah has
just put $6,000 a year into' the program;
Oregon will put between $9,000 and $10,000;
Wyoming and New Mexico put in between
$500 and $1,000 a year. We had hopes that
some Colorado' State Agency would support it.
In fact, we wish the Board would consider
this favorably and ask for funds' from the
Legislature."

Mr. Crawford: "So far as this office is concerned, we would
be glad to assist if money' were available."

Mr. Bailey: "Do you get any he~pfrom experiment stations?"

Mr. Stockwell: "1'Ie have to depend on getting money from all
agencies because we have no direct
appropria tion."

Mr. Beaty:

"If there is nothing more to cone before this
Board, I move that the meeting be adjourned."

Motion was secondefr. Meeting adjourned at 1:00 P. M.
