<br />125 <br /> <br />MR. HOOVER: Hr. Davis, what are your views? <br /> <br />MR. DAVIS: I think what I said before: <br /> <br />I am still of the <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br />bpinion that an agreement of that kind would be futile; never- <br /> <br />the less, such an agreement Hould amply protect the interests of <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />New Mexico, and if it is satisfacto~J to the ConLmissioners of <br /> <br />the lower states, it is satisfactory to NeH Hexico. <br /> <br />MR. McCLURE: May I ask Mr. Carponter one question? Hould <br /> <br />you not be willing to take a statement or declaration of this <br /> <br />Commission, being expressed at the bottom of your page as you <br /> <br />have presented it some1-lhat in this manner: <br /> <br />,. <br /> <br />"That the construction of one reservoir upon the <br />lO~1Sr river shall in no manner arrest or interfere with <br />the subsequent development of the territory of any of <br />the .upper states or tho use of the water therein and <br />said 'works upon the lOHor river shall not have, assert <br />or claim any prior or preferred right or title to the <br />use of the Haters of said stream as against the upper <br />states." <br /> <br />We are asking that a start may bo made in a development which <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />could injure no one. <br /> <br />MR. EMERSmJ: It coult;! injure someone. <br /> <br />MR. McCLURE: How'? <br /> <br />HR. CARPEIITER: If you 1,lish to limit yourself to one reservoir, <br /> <br />we have no objection. He, 1-lith proper protection to us, do not <br /> <br />care how many reservoirs you build. He 1,rant you to get the maxi- <br /> <br />mum benefits from every quarter. I do not mean by my resolution <br /> <br />(# <br /> <br />to limit your construction of the lower river. Ny thought is to <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />give you absolute free unbridled rights, all objections withdrawn <br /> <br />on our part, in return for your declaration of non-interference. <br /> <br />\<I. <br />
