close to spilling or even spill in the spring of 1985. It will be a challenge for us to see how we can handle an extra large supply of irrigation water. I hope we can look forward to an increased ability to manage our water in wet times as we have in dry times. We have been able to have our money supply out on interest at our bank, resulting in more than enough money to pay the secretary's salary. The new satellite system for measuring water on the river will result in better records for keeping track of the water after it becomes available. I have been interested in straightening out the various big S curves in the river below John Martin Reservoir. This would result in shortening the time that is needed to get the water down to the state line. It would also allow the chaIUlel to deepen which would drop the water table along both sides of the river lessening the alkali problem on the farmland along the river. It would also decrease the shrubs using as much water as they do now. It would also decrease the evaporation on the shallower pot holes and swamp areas. It is imperative that the channel of the river needs to be deepened and straightened so that water to Kansas may be delivered more efficiently and effectively, Respectfully submitted /s/ Leo Idler Recording Secretary ATTACHMENTC TREASURER'S REPORT July 1, 1983 thru June 30,1984 CASH BALANCE, JULY 1, 198L........ .........., ...$36,354 RECEIPTS: Revenue from Assessments: Colorado-60% ...... .............. .............
