Show 7548 5526 MR. FARNSWORTH: I think so. Merely if counsel thinks there is any other portion. MR. BLACKMAR: I haven't a complete transcript here. MR. FARNSWORTH: Any portion of this testimony. THE SPECIAL MASTER: I think that is clear enough. The only qualification I want to make, Mr. Blackmar, is that as I stated it, the first feference in the testimony Mr. Wolverton made is in answer to a question by Mr. Farnsworth why he couldn't build larger scows that would take, say, one hundred tons, and his answer is as follows: " We couldn't do that for the reason that river in its natural condition would not allow this handling of a one hundred ton scow. Here and there a rock in the riffles that would need to be removed." The first portion of that sentence must stay in, but the rest, about removal of rocks, must be stricken out, and everything that follows in the testimony, because this is the very first reference to any question of improvement or change. Everything that follows that question and answer that has any reference to an improvement or a change in the condition of the river to enable further navigation will be stricken out. MR. FARNSWORTH: I think that covers it fully. MR. BLACKMAR: That brings us to the question |
