<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />,- <br /> <br />which it could, be placed, and that whateV'er a,~tion they. in their <br />mature deliberations saw fit to adV'ise, V'lould undoubtedly be the <br />best action in the :"remises. We feel that our case il'l in competen <br />hands, Qnd I ~ill confine my remarks at this time to only one <br />point. The work of the Rec lama t ion SerV'ice as it ha s proc eeded so <br />far has been tne most diligent and has spread over a period of time <br />and involved en eX~endit~re of money such as should have enabled <br />tho~e ~en to have arriv~d at a thoroughly accurate conclusion. <br />They hcive selected Boulder Cenyon Site, rJeV'ada did not select <br />that site. Nevada ~oes not come forwatd with any particular <br />scheme or plan of its own. Ne i ther ha ve I. as E.n indi vi dual, the <br />presum)tion to o:"fer a pJ.an to sup'Jlement the work of such an able <br />body as the 3.eclaT:1E.tion Service, or a Commission auch as this, <br />composeu.of engineers whose reputacions are already established. <br />It d.oes appear taus", howeV'er, that the Reclamation Service has <br />erred in their land esti~ates, or tit least overlooked some of the <br />arable lands in the State of liev&.da. In the report of Mr. A. P. <br />DaV'is, he specifies that there is some 2,000 acres in Uevada which <br />coul~ properly come under the Colorado niver project. Now, con- <br />sideri,ng the Colored.o ttiver developmant as a riv'er system, includ- <br />ing its tribute.ries, which we understand is meant when we say the <br />Colore.do River projeot, we have the following acreages which would <br />properly co~e under that heading. It is not guess work, but these <br />Breas haV'e been surV'eyed .st the expense of the State of NeV'ada. <br />P. <br />
