~!:'W... 'f-~' _ ,;>-<-- ,c.(~ \'f. . -55- Lower Platte and Beaver Canal until his resignation this year. Gi1frey allegedly has books and tables which show the various shrink factors in the Lower Platte and Beaver Canal and the shrink on running various reservoir rights. We had learned that 16-1/6 Jackson Lake rights were apparent1~ leased out by the Lower Platte and Beaver Canal Company, during the summer of 1966, to farmers under the Weldon Valley Ditch. We therefore showed stratton the water order, signed "Lower Platte and Beaver Canal by Gill," and asked him if he knew anything about that. He was outraged at seeing this and indicated that this was entirely contrary to company policy. He stated that we should contact Major Gi1frey, since only Gi1frey or Gill would be en- titled to sign such a water order. Stratton stated that Gilfrey almost certainly would know about the 16-1/6 shares of Jackson Lake water which supposedly went to the Weldon Valley Ditch. He doubted very much that this was Lower Platte and Beaver water and further doubted that the company would ever have sold company water to the Weldon Valley Ditch. He was very irritated by the thought, since it had been alleged that the company was so short of reser- voir water, that it was very difficult to deliver to his lateral at the end of the Lower Platte and Beaver Canal. Such a sale would make it even more difficult for him to ever participate in "company-owned" reservoir water. He stated that he was certain that none of the stockholders ever authorized such a deal, and he was also certain that none of the members of the Board of Directors whom he knows would ever have participated in such a project. (Despite repeated efforts we were unable to contact Gilfrey) . , '. . . . . WOODWARD-CLYDE.SHERARD AND ASSOCIATES
