<br />" <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />{}00364 <br /> <br />-24- <br /> <br />If Artesia or Vernal can show an access road that can be built cheaper and <br />better and have as good scenic attractions as the under the Blue Mountain rim on <br />the south side of the Bear River, I am for that road. <br /> <br />We surely enjoyed the IJeeker meetings and we are proud of you and the Water <br />~oard for the gallant fight you are making to protect the water and power of Colo- <br />rado. <br /> <br />I have analyzed the addresses of all the men from your office, Washington <br />D.

Unquestionably this dam will be constructed if the ColoradO <br />River Storage Project is carried forward. ,re believe that the Curecanti Dam should <br />be first constructed ~,d that its construction should be at the earliest practical <br />date. In our opinien such economic loss as is suffered by Gunnison County by reason <br />
