<br />Project Manager James Ogilvie reported that construction proceded on sciledule in 1967
<br />with $40, 000, 000 now under contract. Mr. Ogilvie stated that the Divide Tunnel is
<br />approximately 75% complete, but they had encountered some bad ground which may delay
<br />thetr anticipated ho1e!ng througil. Ruedi was topped out and is 95% complete, and it is
<br />expected water wlll be stored there in 1968. Sugar10a! wlll be completed one year ahead
<br />of schedule, and is now 95% complete, with work to be finished in May. Mr. Ogilvie
<br />said it is stili planned that the initial diversion will be in the Spring of 1969, with an
<br />estimated 30,000 acre-feet to be diverted until the Project is totally complete. Ral1-
<br />road relocation at Pueblo Reservoir is approximately 25% complete, and Mr. Ogilvie
<br />stated he expects to have sufficient funds in fiscal 1968 for existing contracts, and a few
