<br />.- ::uJ:ly tc ~:10oe men ,'lhoI':< we 1J8ve ::;electeci to represent u? upon <br /> <br />this Commission. :i: would feel thtit I heve said something worth <br /> <br />while. l'he ability of the men on the Colorado ih IreI' Commission <br />is unquestioned. I understcnd. if I read cor~ectly. that the <br />,Administration is back of their views and their ideas of what is <br />if <br />to be done, snd/we miGht for the time being at laast defer any <br /> <br />cri ticism or defer any offering of suggestions on our part until <br />they might come to some ~onclusion to present to us, I would still <br /> <br />feel that I had pre3ented to you the matter in the form that it <br />ought to be presented. <br /> <br />I know that ),;1'. A. P. Davis has given years and years to the <br /> <br /> <br />study of th~s river. ilis views and those of the Reclamation Ser- <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />vice should, to the fullest extent, be heard and followed. I <br /> <br />feel that we can allow this Commission to present to us a plan <br />which I believe when presented will enE. ble llS to accept it and <br /> <br />indorse it. The conservation of the waters of the Coloredo River <br /> <br />is not a new fe~.ture to mos ~ of us. The railroad interests have <br /> <br />fathered it and the other,interests that have felt th&t it was <br /> <br />needed, have given time end money end effo"t and now if we can <br /> <br />only ..llow Mr. Hoover ,0 present to his Commissionershere and ,the <br /> <br />Commission in their deliberations, such plans as will enable ns <br /> <br />to get ac tion it will suit our views in !levada. \~e want dams ," <br /> <br />constructed lind we wan, wi'ter conserved.
