Bureau of Iteclamation and the Colorado <br />River Water Conservancy Board was held Friday, April 6, 1951, at Delta, in order <br />to advise those interested of the fact that the plans of the Bureau call for the <br />~Ol1struction of two dams on the Gunnison River, i.e., one at the Curricanti site <br />and the other at Bridgeport, and <br /> <br />Vlhereas, it seems that the wishes of the citizens of this area are to be <br />given full consideration in arriving at a decision as to which dam shall be con- <br />structed first, and <br /> <br />Whereas, several members of our club attended the said meeting and have a <br />clear understanding of the need by Colorado of these dams in order to protect our <br />water rights as against the claims and demands of California, and <br /> <br />Vlhereas, it seems to us that ina~much as both dams are to built, and <br /> <br />Whereas, Judge Clifford H. Stone stated that "The greatest weapon to hold <br />our water and ultimately defeat the claims of California and the lower basin <br />states was to put it to beneficial use in the quickest possible time", and <br /> <br />Whereas, when comparison is made ~f the immediate results to accrue by the <br />construction of the two dams it is difi'i-::ult to understand why anyone cannot see <br />the importance of building the larger d~n as soon as possible. <br /> <br />NOVl, THEREFORE, BE IT RFSOLVED that we, the undersigned, as residents of <br />Delta and Montrose Counties and members of the Fruitland Mesa Vlomens Community <br />Club wholeheartedly ask, to be put on recQrd as favoring the Curricanti dam prior <br />
