<br />may be ascertained to be. If you mean by your question that <br /> <br />we might withhold the water for seven years in the upper <br /> <br /> <br />te'rritory and then deliver enough to make an annual average <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />of six million odd acre feet per annum, delivered all in three <br /> <br />years, it is not in the ranee of my thought that any such <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />condition ,Iould possibly be. I might say in that regard that <br /> <br />you may have in mind the construction of a reservoir at lee's <br /> <br />Ferry as a controlling .factor. It was m;y thoueht that that <br /> <br />. <br />uould be essentially a lower division reservoir, or one for <br /> <br />the benefit of the lower division, andit was not the thought <br /> <br />that it would be possibly placed in a position of taking the <br /> <br />whole flow of the river for a year, and depriving the lower <br /> <br />territory of the benefit of that flow. That \.ould be too <br /> <br />abhorent. The reservoir at Lee's Ferry would naturally be a <br /> <br />stabilizing influence for the lower territory, sta,bilizing the <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />matter of delivery, <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />MR. NORVIEL: Let me ask the question uithout the amount <br /> <br />of water, In the proposed guarantee of the certain amount of <br /> <br />Hater per annum to be delivered at Lee's Ferry, it is to be <br /> <br />understood that this amount of water is to be delivered annual- <br /> <br />ly or may it be delivered during any.portion of the ten-year <br /> <br />period on the arbitrary determination of the Upper division? <br />MR. CARPEIITER: It uacn I t the thought that it might be <br /> <br />4 <br /> <br />delivered under the arbitrary determination of the Upper divi- <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />sion.
