<br />. <br /> <br />\ <br />r.', <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Ineso if it ts.ke3 a i:rtJater quantity of water to develop <br /> <br />power than can be used beneficially for irrie;ation purposes-- <br /> <br />Ifill N ORV IEL : <br />MR LORAINE: <br /> <br />That would affect only that above. <br /> <br />I believe we oUGht to give due considera- <br /> <br />tion to the rights of irrigation. <br /> <br />If they are ready <br /> <br />to use water for irrigation, we ought to give them something. <br /> <br />MR NORVIEL: <br /> <br />Even though it may deplete the power devel- <br /> <br />opment? <br /> <br />1iR LORAIlJE: <br /> <br />Yes. <br /> <br />MR NORVIEL: <br />MR LORAIHE: <br /> <br />To an injurious extent? <br /> <br />Yes, I believe as farmers we must be fair. <br /> <br />If they have the possibilitios to use the water for irri- <br />gation, and use that water beneficially--- I think I get <br />your point now..

Would you d'emand that the full flow of thG river to <br /> <br />that extent come down fo"" the utilization of power, or <br />would you allow the upper states to take out what they might <br />
