<br />145 145 <br /> <br />unrestricted irrigation developments on the river above. If Mr. <br /> <br />Davis will do that, I believe we can, get by on a treaty easily. <br /> <br />., <br /> <br />,MR. HOOnR: v/ould .it not be desirable for every delegate to <br /> <br />take all these various, p.roposals and to discuss them t,i th their <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />own PeopJ,e. I t'lOul<i also. suggest tha'.t 1;/e address Mr.. Davis of <br /> <br />the Reclamation Service, a specific letter, asking 'dhether he still <br /> <br /> <br />adheres to his original assurance of ample 'dator upon the basis of <br /> <br />these enlarged demands. <br /> <br />MR.CALDHELL: Mr. Chairman, I do not believe I have made my_ <br /> <br />self clear about all I have said about water enough for all. We <br /> <br />do not submit that as a claim because I do not kno'd,whether that <br /> <br />is right. I do not think that it is foolish or, under the circum- <br />an <br />stances,/ extravagant thing to present. If we must get together on <br /> <br />an acreage basis, Utah must investigate herself .the acreage before <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />she accepts the estimates set down, by the, Feclamation Service. I <br /> <br />believe, ~tt. Davis said that the Green Rivor investigation shrunk <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br />from 250,000 to 15,000 acres. Maybe the other, projects will shrink <br /> <br />in the same way. Director Davis may recommend that in his opinion <br /> <br />that is the case, and that notwithstanding all the alleged claims <br /> <br />of the State, there is still enough water to irrigate all the lands <br /> <br />in the Upper River. I cannot but regret that. the .matter of such <br /> <br />claims have been given such prominence in this Commission, because <br /> <br />they'are undoubtedly inaccurate in .nearly every respect. <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br />MR. CARPEIITER: May I suggest, Mr., Chairman, If you will recall <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />in a private conversation, I stated at that time I hoped that the <br /> <br />states of origin ceuld make out, a policy within sixty days. Unfor- <br /> <br />tunately, I was unable to confer with ,the Upper State delegates. <br /> <br />w. <br /> <br />---.~ <br />
