<br />Ferry in order that the amount when added to vlhe.t comes in <br /> <br />below, will give the lower division fifty per cent of the <br /> <br />Yuma flow. It was my thought that the twenty_year record that <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />we had will. not be improved much by more records at that point. <br /> <br /> <br />And the hydrographers and eXjJerts advise me that a twenty- <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br />year record on a river is adequate in its completeness and <br /> <br />includes enough years to warrant an assurilption that the aver_ <br /> <br />age there deduced would be the averago flow. of the river in <br /> <br />the future. Hith that in vie\'I, I took that record as a basis <br /> <br />and worked from that premise. Does that ansv~r your question? <br /> <br />MR. NORVIE1: No it doesn't touch the question at all. I <br /> <br />Hill read the question ngain: Is the fifty-fifty proposition <br /> <br />an arbitrary division of the waters or based upon facts and <br /> <br />conditions? In other words, is it based on any calculation, <br /> <br />or arbitrarily._ hit or miss? <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />MR. CARPENTER: It is not a hit or miss, It is arbitrary <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />in that it is proposed to divide the flml of the river equally <br /> <br />between two divisions. <br /> <br />MR. HOOVEn: Doesn't it proceed, Mr, Carpenter, upon the <br /> <br />.assumption that the amount of actual irrigable area is indeter- <br /> <br />minable and that it is just a broad compromise of the issues <br /> <br />between two groups. <br /> <br />}fill. CARPENTER: To quite a degreo, yes. The data we have <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />comports pretty Hell with the fifty-fifty plan of division. <br />MR. NORVII:1: Well then, would you say that it is arbitra- <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />ry or based on facts? <br /> <br />l2th_S.F. <br />3 <br /> <br />73 <br />
