DtlREAU OF REClAXATION <br /> <br /> <br />Until recently the State of Colorado has not cooperated <br /> <br />with Bureau of ReclllJll4tion in sharinq any portion of the <br /> <br /> <br />cost involved in mAkinq project investiqation.. At the t1=e <br /> <br />the Upper Colorado RiTer Storaqe Act was passed, Colorado <br /> <br />awakened to the fact that Colorado's initial share consisted <br /> <br /> <br />of only fiye rather small irriqation projects for a total of <br /> <br /> <br />approximately '26,000,000, which was all out of proportion to <br /> <br /> <br />her contribution in water and to the 4IIOunts other states were <br /> <br /> <br />receivinq. other projects were under study but were proqrees- <br /> <br />inq slowly, The total bill va. beinq paid by the Federal <br /> <br /> <br />Gov.nuaent. <br /> <br /> <br />In February 1956, the Leqislature appropriated 1100,000 <br /> <br /> <br />to be used to cooperate with the Federal GoY8rnment in project <br /> <br /> <br />studies provided such cooperation would result ln a worthwhile <br /> <br /> <br />expeditinq of He study, 1.e., pushinq the study forward so <br /> <br />that it would come before Conqre.s a year earl leI' than lt other- <br /> <br /> <br />wise would. <br />
