<br />OOlHO <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />V. RIGH'lS OF WAY, <br /> <br />St. Vrain S~DDlv Canal <br />The latest condemnation s~it, being that on the McConnell <br />tract at Lyons, for St. Vrain Supply Canal, was concluded Decem- <br />ber 12, 1953 by agreed Decree of the Boulder District Court. As <br />a result of considerable negotiations, reduction was made in amount <br />of land permanently taken, with compromise in amo~nt of damages <br />paid. No condemnation suits have been necessary on the canal from <br />the St. Vrain down to Boulder Creek. <br />North Poudre Gravitv Canal. "Ed F. Munroe Canal" <br />For North Poudre Gravity Canal rights of way obtained have been <br />in cooperation with Thomas J. Warren, attorney for the North Poudre <br />Irrigation Company. It has involved many owners and parcels of <br />land in meandering courses, and many abstract examinations for that <br />twelve miles of canal. The last easements were those over state <br />lands. This took considerable time with the State Land Board and <br />has been recently concluded. All these __rights -of --'<lay arerecorlled <br />in the name of the District. The canal will cost the aistrict over <br />$800,000.00. It is subject to contractual rights 'of the North <br />Po~dre Irrigation Company to carry, by exchange, its water from the <br />District under its special contract of water allotment, and its <br />duty to maintain this canal. It puts the North Poudre water users <br />for the first time into the main Poudre diverting ability. We were <br />surprised to have, that company file in Court statement of claim to <br />the Pbudre 'appropriations of water made possible by' that construc- <br />tion. <br />Lower Boulder.
