<br />. <br /> <br />It is custoDGr~ in the ~~~ropri~tion of water to beneficial <br /> <br /> <br />purposcs to m~ce a filing, to givo public notice of intention. <br /> <br /> <br />Such a notice has been given to th0 \Vorlcl. Our constitution <br /> <br /> <br />asserts definitely thet the w~ter is reserved to the use of <br /> <br /> <br />the peo])le aue:. that the right to its beneficicl use shall <br /> <br /> <br />never be denied.
