<br />so-called in the division, are also "Simon Pure" appropriation <br /> <br />states, except in California, and I think insofar as the <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br />Colorado River Basin is concerned thoy renounce all riparian <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />rights and accept absolutely the law of appropriation.

You look at this thing in a big way; it is a <br /> <br />conflict between the statos of the lower .river and tho states <br /> <br />in the upper rivor. If you can solve that. conflict why that <br /> <br />is the biggest thing we can do. <br /> <br />MR. NORVIEL: I think that is what I have indicated <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />hore. If you will read carefully tho suggestion I make, I <br /> <br />think you will find there is a solution there as clear as a <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />clear sky. <br /> <br />MR.

S. B. DAVIS: I undorstand his proposition is this; <br /> <br />that thero is a straight race as to devolopm:nt for a certain <br /> <br />unnamed period, at the end of that poriod thero is priority <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />for whatever water has boon put to benoficial uso, and thore <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />is nothing whatover said as to what should be done after <br /> <br />that period. <br /> <br />MR. NORVIEL: Tho period of time may be oxtondod, or leave <br /> <br />it to the next goneration,-- <br /> <br />llth-S.F. <br />35 <br /> <br />43 <br />
