town here, one (1) mile out of town.

MR. GARNER: liell, I don't have the seventy

three thousand (73,000) cfs, but the highest we're forecasting

up there is fifty thousand (50,000) cfs, which we figure

twenty-eight thousand (28,000) released from Hoover Dam, for

example, would only raise the water down there about three (3)

three and a half (3 1/2) feet, if you got the full impact of

the whole twenty-eight thousand (28,000) going right by your
