Show I- 3 7410 5389 Wolverton- D Q You speak of removing rocks in order to permit large boats to pass. Are there places where it would be necessary to do that if you were operating a large boat that would serve as a freight boat between Moab and Greenriver? A Yes. BY THE SPECIAL MASTER: Q How large a boat are you talking about now? A One hundred tons scow. Q What draft boat, in your opinion, could be run on the Green river is rocks were removed? THE SPECIAL MASTER: Is that question objectionable to anybody? MR. BLACKMAR: No, your Honor. THE WITNESS: I beg your pardon? ( Last question read.) A Well, over three feet. BY THE SPECIAL MASTER: Q Are there rocks in the Grand river? A I don't recall any. Q There are at the Slide, aren't there? A Oh, yes; I beg your pardon; I forgot about that. Yes, there are some rocks fallen off of the wall there; fell off the north wall of the canyon; however, it is not a serious obstruction, at all. Even in its present condition a large boat that would answer the rudder can be put through there. |
