<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />19 <br /> <br />I would like to hear from Mr. Scrogham, <br /> <br />STJ\TEMENT OF COLONEL JAMES G. SCRUGHAM, <br />STATE ENGINEER, CARSON CITY, Nl\TADA. <br /> <br />Mr. Serugham, Mr. Secreta~ and Gentlomen of tho Committee, the <br /> <br />terms of the Bill authorizing this Commission are of such a character <br /> <br />as to leave the Commission a wide fiold of usefulnoss. Thero is no <br /> <br />question but that the people of the Southwest, particularly in those. <br /> <br />states which are most directly interested in the Colorado River, look <br /> <br />to this Commission for definite recommendations for action, I think <br /> <br />we can put that objective before us in a ve~ clear cut manner, I <br /> <br />concur in the suggostion of Mr. Carpenter that, if there are any <br /> <br />delegations or individuals having particular plans or particular <br /> <br />suggestions to offer, they should be presented first, Then we can go <br /> <br />into executive session for consideration of the business of the Com- <br /> <br />mission. <br /> <br />STATEHENT OF HON. STEPHEN B. DAVIS, JR., C0l4MISSIONER FOR NE\. <br />MEXICO ON COLORADO RIVER COMMISSION, LAS VEGAS, N. M. <br /> <br />Mr. Davis, Mr. Secreta~ and Gentlemen; I came here with an <br /> <br />absolutely open mind. Of course like the other Commissionors I have <br /> <br />been working on this problem for some little time and I supposed we <br /> <br />all have some general ideas as to how it. should be handled. I can <br /> <br />say, if we deal in generalities and decide to lay down a general plan <br /> <br />the details of which will be worked out later, we will have a much <br /> <br />simpler task than if we attomptod to work out an ontire schemo. On <br /> <br />the other hand, if we are going to achiove completonoss I suppose we <br /> <br />have got to t~ the second idoa. What I would ve~ much liko would <br /> <br />be to get tho facts bofore us as rapidly as possible, hearing from <br /> <br />whoever may be here first and I would suggest that porhaps each state <br /> <br />could uso their maps and what documonts they havo and make a full <br /> <br />..,i <br />
