<br />Annual Report For 1967 <br /> <br />had the benefit of accretions to the river as it courses through <br />the reservoir area. He estimated that these accretions range <br />lrom 10,000 to 16,000 acre-Ieet annually. He suggested that <br />raising the water level 25 feet above normal stream level <br />to maintain the permanent pool would reduce or eliminate <br />the accretions to which the dO\ltl1stream users are entitled. <br />For this reason he firmly opposes any plans for a permanent <br />pool. ]I.,lr. Nevius also reminded the Administration that during <br />the negotiations for the Compact the matter of a permanent <br />pool had been explored thoroughly and discussed vigorously <br />and discarded as completely impractical." <br /> <br />(A barrier of 28.3 feet would be maintained to create a 10,000 a.f. <br />pool according to present capacity table, adopted Aprill, 1967.) <br /> <br />Gave" ,lor Love included one item on water in his "call" for 1968 <br />General Assembly. The item included in the call was to consider legis- <br />lation to amend 148-9-27 Colorado revised Statutes 1963 as amended con- <br />cerning alternate or supplemental points oC diversion. Legislatative Com- <br />mittee hearings will be held in Denver on the Arkansas and Platte River <br />Engineering RejXJrts. <br /> <br />!\.lore than the average snow pack seems to be in store in the <br />mountains but storage in John Martin Dam is likely to be less than 40,- <br />000 a.f. April 1, unless more than average precipitation or a quick run- <br />off comes during Februar.y and March. <br /> <br />An examination of the budget prepared by the directors shows small <br />increases in most oC the items listed. Overall it looks like a moderate <br />addition would be needed for the coming year. <br /> <br />A detailed report on the operation of the Amity system will be Cound <br />in the Superintendent's report together with details on the distribution <br />oC water and the need Cor improvements. <br /> <br />The report oC our Secretary shows in detail cash receipts and dis~ <br />bursements as well as the budget prepared by the Board of Directors for <br />the coming year. <br /> <br />The books and accounts oC the Company have been officially audited <br />and a report wIll be available at the annual meeting. <br /> <br />I want to again thank the employees, directors and stockholders for <br />their hearty" cooperation throughout the year. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br />HarQ' C.
