<br /> <br />event tho dominant. estate could always como in to its own without <br />compensating or condemning the servient interost, even though <br /> <br />the servient use is long prior to the dominant use. <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br />.llR. NORVIEL: I think so; but there is one other thought, <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />per~aps, before we leave this question, which occurs to me, and <br /> <br />that is that we have placed navigation in tho lowest point of <br /> <br />uses. Navigation is controllod by the Govornmont of tho United <br /> <br />States, and is paramount to ovory other right in the whole basin. <br /> <br />MR. HOOVER: Excopt by legislativo action under tho pact. <br /> <br />1m. NORVIEL, Yes, oxcept that. Lnd I am just wondering <br /> <br />what some of our Congressmen may say to us when it cemes up to <br /> <br />them. <br /> <br />MR. HOOVER: They will say that there has boen no ship able <br /> <br />to get up the river for the last fifteen years. <br /> <br />1m. NORVIEL, They will say that yeu attempt to stabilize the <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />flew of the river, and they may then require all of the further . <br /> <br />use of the water to cease in order te make a navigable stream. We <br /> <br />don't know what the future may hold.. <br /> <br />HR. C1..RPENTER: I would liko to have thelast part ef Article <br />read: <br />4/"with each division" loft out. Soe how that would sound. <br /> <br />1m. HOOVER, "And appropriations shal,l, as .a class, have prefer- <br /> <br />ence between the twe divisiens in the right ef use in the water <br /> <br />in the order stated." That weuld take the preferenco beyond the <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />area within a division and would only make it intervisional. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />129 <br /> <br />18th-S.F. <br />16 <br /> <br />"_b'- <br />
