<br />on file in my office.
<br />In testimony whereof I have hereunto, subscribed my nam,e and affixed my
<br />official seal this 26th day of April 1949.
<br />[SEAL] LARRY RYAN, Secretary of State.
<br />Mr, KNAPP. There are only a few brief remarks that I care to
<br />make, amplifying the more detailed statements of our colleagues frolll
<br />Colorado. '
<br />One of you gentlemen asked Congressman Hope as to irrigation di""
<br />tricts in the State of Kansas. '
<br />Out in the Arkansas Valley, in the three counties which are directly
<br />interested in this, there are no public irrigation districts.
<br />The construction of the ilTigation system began in 1879. At that
<br />early day there was not on the statute books of the.8tate of Kansils
<br />any provisions for the organization of public irrigation districts
<br />Kansas did have an. act providing for the formation of corpora-
<br />tions for the construction and operation of irrigation canals. Those
<br />canals were all constructed under that act and now operate as pri-
<br />vate nonprofit corporations or associations. They are all mutual in
<br />that the shares belong to the land and the water users elect their own
<br />boards of directors,
<br />So actually and in fact they operate in the same manner as public
<br />irrigation districts do in your Western States.
<br />Mr, M,LLER. May I ask one question, Mr. Chairman!
<br />Mr. MURDooK. Very well. .
<br />Mr. MILLER. Do the irrigation districts in these three counties get
<br />some benefits by the building of the John Martin Dam!
<br />Mr, KNAPP. Yes, they do.
