<br />. <br /> <br />" <br /> <br />001141. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />and officie,ls have been had on this District activity, which will <br /> <br /> <br />bring water to Coal Ridge west of Fort Lupton and Platteville, and <br /> <br /> <br />to the lands under the "Evans No.2" system, east o'f the Platte <br /> <br />- - <br />River. It is still in a formative stage. A four party contract <br />,of over twenty provisions as to operating agreements, reservoir <br />and canal enlargement and costs-sharing has been drafted in pro- <br /> <br />visions fairly, but not completely, agreed upon. The matter has <br /> <br /> <br />h~d especial attention all year and to the end of December. It <br /> <br /> <br />departs in some respects from the DistrictVs usual water delivery <br /> <br />into streams. A contract seems well on the way to submit to final <br /> <br /> <br />action of District and the companies. <br /> <br /> <br />For the carriage rights from Boulder Creek to the South <br /> <br /> <br />Platte River and to serve the lands under Lower Boulder Ditch, <br /> <br /> <br />Coal Ridge Ditch and other lands beyond Coal Ridge Ditch, and <br /> <br /> <br />those under Platte Valley Canal, negotiation and drafting of con- <br /> <br /> <br />tracts have been incident, in dealings with The Consolidated Lower <br /> <br />Boulder Ditch and Reservoir Company, The Coal Ridge Ditch Company, <br />The Platte Valley Irrigation Company and Reclamation regional <br />counsel. <br /> It has seemed desirable to take the course of enlargement of <br />these canals to make water'available for lands in the District <br /> <br />under them as well as under other canals from the South Platte <br /> <br />River directly or, by exchange, to canals out of the South Platte <br />River, above Platte Valley or Milton Lake inlet. <br />Tentative drafts of contracts between the four parties are <br /> <br />comprehensive. The covenants of the several parties have to be <br /> <br />contingent on signatures by all parties and upon the allotment to <br /> <br /> <br />users under Platte Valley canals. All of these have to be made <br /> <br /> <br />conditional and are yet depending upon accord of the irrigation <br /> <br />companies and the District and the enlargement construction work <br /> <br />to be arranged with the Bureau of Reclamation.
