HOOVER: vie have had many d~ys discussion in an, informal <br /> <br />way and I believe the time has come when we should gettbe various <br /> <br />views into record. Do you think it possible 'for us to secure any <br />I <br />I. ,. . <br />agreement on any mutual limitation o~ acreage - subject to expan_ <br />',1 <br />sion after some term of years as wat~r supply proves itself. Mr. <br /> <br />i <br />Caldwell, can you modify your deman& of one million acres? <br />I <br />lIIR. CALD1iIELL: My feelings in that matter, Hr. Chairman, at the <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />present time, are as follows: I do :not favor getting together in <br />! <br />any conclusive ,~y here on the basi~ of acres. Personally, I be- <br />I <br />lieve that" the acres that have beenisubmitted here, called claims <br /> <br />in vario~s states, are'in excess of:what can actually be developed. <br /> <br />As for that which is "cilaime& for UtJh, under existing circumstances, <br />! <br /> <br />I would not care to submit that technically.as Utah's claim. It <br />, <br />i <br />is what I think may be possible to ~rrigate in Utah. I do not <br /> <br />,rant to y that Utah may not at som$ time be prepared to agree to <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />an allocation of the water of the r}ver on the basis of irrigable <br />acres that each State may have. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />vi. <br />
