<br />80 <br /> <br />,~,cti.sfy akoh of, farmers saying we are not; doing anything for their <br />control wo:rlCs. They want to introduce a clause into the. compact <br />making it contingent upon the erection of such control works~ <br />Such an expression in the purposes of the compact of such obvious <br />consequences of any development, would not carry any legal weight'. <br />MR. Cl,RPENTER: Do you need to limit that to the Imperial <br />, , . <br />Valley. It lsthe:lower part of the tcrr{tory of the United states <br />that we want to protect, both the Yuma and Imperial Valley, isn't <br /> <br />* <br /> <br />,#I <br /> <br />it? <br /> <br />MR. HOOVER: I don't object to that. <br /> <br />MR. NORVIEL: There are three valleys that are in danger. <br /> <br />The Paloverde, first, and the Yuma and Imperial. I gue ss the <br />Imperial Valley needs the greatest protection as its headgate is <br />in danger of flood menace and is caused by the dam at the headgate. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />MR. Dl,VIS: Just the ordinary river levies, and, the menace <br /> <br />that high water is to these levies, The Imperial Valley diversion <br /> <br />is supposed to somewhat aggravate that. <br />MR. HOOVER: We could say, liThe lower part of the basin," <br />but it wouldn't quite satisfy them, They ,would want you to put <br />it in the sky near the snow banks, <br />MR. Dl,VIS~ It isn't really germane .to the compact at all. <br />MR. Ci,LDWELL: I am wondering if this may not really some <br />time be made a menace, such a menace that it'cannot pass CQngress. <br />o <br /> <br />It depends on the ordeH inllhich these.things come up in Congress, <br />it seems to me. If the compact were in Congress at the same time <br />a bill providing for river control were in Congress, it might you <br />might find them trading as between the C9mpact and the bill to <br />I <br />the disadvantage of the public possibly.! <br /> <br /><fI. <br /> <br />. <br />
