O. <br />P <br />y <br /> <br />The Antonio Iopez Ditoh wl;tioh is owned and operated by 28 different <br />people and whioh irrigates aboutl98 acres of land along the Purga- <br />tode River bottom illllllediately West of the City of Trinida:d is some- <br />times in the need of additional water. In many instanoes \\6' have <br />seen thousands of, seoond feet of water go past our,diversioIl dam. <br />whioh. had it been possible to storei t W9 oouldhave, used that wa- <br />ter to very good advantage some other time later in the season. <br /> <br />This is to ask you to do everybhing within your power to see that the <br />onoeproPQsed storage reservoir is oonstruoted on the Purgatorie River <br />near Sopris. Colorado. Suoha struoture would store water now going <br />to waste on down the stream and at the seme time"would save our Com- <br />pany as well as many others lots of money now expended for mainte- <br />nanoe and flood damage repair. <br /> <br /> <br />Please see that the dam is givenprimaryoonsideration asweare now <br />faoed with a problem of maximum produotion for the war effor'\: -and <br />will be faoedwith a similar problem for a long time to oome ather <br />this war is over. We mve met with off'ioi,als of other irrigation <br />Companies and feel tmt oooperatively we oan get the job done with <br />your assistanoe. <br /> <br />Sinoerely yours, <br /> <br />Frank Ottati.
