<br /> <br />MR. CARPENTER: If I may interrupt you, you might do <br /> <br />this. Provide a long term and provide that during the term <br /> <br />all the states and Governors may agree on unanimous call. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />MR. HOOVER: Hell, unanimous ",ould include three, <br /> <br />HR. CARPE1\jTER: I retract, <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />HR. NORVIEL: I think that sug~estiqn is good, but I don't <br /> <br />want to put it fifty years. <br /> <br />MR. CALDv)ELL: A hundred years then, Hr. Chairman. <br /> <br />~1R. HOOVER: Director Davis, assuming a division of <br /> <br />the water is made, how long do you estimate it will take <br /> <br /> <br />for enough acreage to have been developed so that there would <br /> <br />be a likelihood of any conflict over this division ? <br /> <br />MR. A. P. DAVIS: That depends very largely upon Hhat the <br /> <br />division is. We don't knOll that yet. If a compact is made such <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />as I conceive will be made by this Commission, I think thirty <br /> <br /> <br />or forty years, - forty years would be my guess. The question' <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />could be better answered after the compact is 1{ritten than it <br /> <br />can be nOli, but my present guess l10uld be forty years. <br /> <br />MR. HOOVER: I was assuming the case of no compact. Supp@se <br /> <br />somebody, everybody, got to,work and developed the river without <br /> <br />any form of arrest, Hould it be some forty or fifty years 1 <br /> <br />MR. A. P. DAVIS: You would Get into trouble lOhg before <br /> <br />that. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />MR. HOOVER: Assuming a normal development, looking at it <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />purely from an engineering point of view, ,dismissing all legal <br /> <br />arrests, how long, from an engineering point of view,before <br /> <br />this river could get to such a point of development that there <br /> <br />could be any overlap of water rights ? <br /> <br />14th-S,F, <br />29 <br /> <br />175 <br /> <br />" <br />
