<br />~1!)0350 <br /> <br />-!G- <br /> <br />The facts and figures concerning The Florida Project are of course, incorpo- <br />rated into the Project lleport and it is not our present intention to burden the <br />-~aders hereof with unnecessary repetition; therefore we shall quote no facts nor <br />'.cgures. We need only to observe a farmer watching his crop burn up for lack of - <br />,:~ter when there waS, at one time of the year, water available for storage, to <br />realize that The Florida Project should be dealt with with all expedience. It may <br />be true that there is not enough water to irrigate all lands lying under The <br />Florida River, with all of the water needed, but the margin of productivity, of most <br />"f the lands lying under The Florida River is directly related to the amount of <br />water therein available for irrigation; thus each foot of water in July and August <br />of any year which can be applied to the irrigation of lands lying under The <br />Florida River is worth many times the cost of re-payment proposed by the Bureau of <br />Reclamation. <br /> <br />It is true that in the past there was some dissension concerning the con- <br />struction of a hold-over storage dam for irrigation on T he Florida rtiver; that was <br />before the time of the formation of The Florida River 'dater Conservancy District, <br />~n 1948, and we feel that we can unequiVOCally state that there is no opposition <br />'~o the construction of a dam on The Florida ltiver, and that there is very active <br />agitation for such construction. <br /> <br />We are satisfied with the figures as presented by the Bureau of Reclamation, <br />~nd feel that as concerns The Florida Project, the Bureau's Report on the Upper <br />rolorado Storage Projects should be approved without delay. <br /> <br />Dated at Durango, Colorado, this 6th day of April, 1951. <br /> <br />Lloyd B. !.lason <br />President, The Florida Water <br />Conservancy District <br /> <br />***************~~W***.* <br /> <br />Consolidated Offices Road Committees <br />North Fork Chamber of Commerce, Hotchkiss, Colo. <br />Crawford Chamber of Commerce, Cr~lford, Colo.' <br /> <br />Crawford, Colorado <br />April 13th---19S1 <br /> <br />Members of The Colorado River Conservation Board, <br />State Office Building, <br />Denver, Colorado <br /> <br />Gentlemen: <br /> <br />Please accept this written evidence of our desire to ask that the first Dam, <br />Reservoir and Power Plant to be constructed on the Gunnison :/iver be located some -, <br />place in the Black Canyon of this River above the confluence of The Smith Fork <br />
