Contractual, and by statute. <br /> <br />It is a lien on every acre of the tract, in gross. <br /> <br />The statute makes the Class D allotment lien one requir- <br /> <br />ing the county a8sessor to "extend the amount of the allotment <br /> <br />80 certified on the tax roll ae a flat special assessment against <br /> <br />the lands for which such water is petitoned and allotted" <br /> <br />C.R.S. 146-920. <br /> <br />The proliferation of subdivision platting of lands having <br /> <br />allotments near to the growing cities has greatly increased <br /> <br />The Board and Staff's time for these allotment transfer proce- <br /> <br />dures. The secretary-manager's report for 1963 recits that 124 <br /> <br />of such allotment changes were processed in that one year. <br /> <br />This mobility of place of use of the water supply makes <br /> <br />the project utility one of general value in making available, <br /> <br />from time ~o time, supplemental water supply where it is needed, <br /> <br />within the District, while assuring the tax lien againat the <br /> <br />specific land to which it was allotted. <br /> <br />-11- <br />
