<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />tt <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br />o <br />a <br />w <br />-.J <br />rv <br />00 <br /> <br />That evening I attended a meeting of the District it 11 Water Users Association <br />in Salida. Reports were given by Jim Ogilvie and Senator Harry Locke. Jim <br />I5rought them up to date on operating programs involving the Project, and <br />Senator Locke reported on a meeting held with Governor John Love at 3:00 <br />p. m.. this same date. The Senator said the Governor registered serious <br />concern over the problems facing water users in the entire valley, and in- <br />dicated he would get in touch with the State Engineer to request that he meet <br />with officials of the Water User Associations in Districts 11 and 12 to advise <br />what proceedures were being followed in carrying out the State Water Laws. <br /> <br />During the course of this month of Lesiglative Activity, several asked regarding the amount <br />of time and energy being devoted to Legislative matters. I reminded them that the Board <br />of Directors of the Southeastern Colorado Water Conservancy District adopted a policy <br />many years ago, that it was in the best interest of our constituents that we assist in getting <br />water programs by "Legislation, rather than Litigation". While participating in these Leg- <br />islative activities, I had an opportunity to work with the representatives from all facets of <br />water interest, and do believe SB 407 and SB 141 contain a "harmonious use" between all <br />men who ~ to see Colorado's water put to its highest and best use. <br /> <br />Very sincerely, <br /> <br />Charles L. Thomson <br />General Manager <br /> <br />-4- <br />
