Show "Mr. Rogers. Under the compact, 8,500,000 acre-feet were allocated to the lower basin, of which California stated at one time they would not take more than 4,000,000 acre-feet, and then said they would take 4,200,000 acre-feet, and then at another time 4,400,000 acre-feet. The assumption is that the rest of it would go to Arizona." (P. 1809.) B. Statement of L. Ward Bannister, Special Counsel for Colorado: "Now, the State of California passed an act of selflimitation [sic] by which she cannot take all of this 8,53TT,000 feet that go to the three States below her, and that act says that she agrees not to take more than 4,200,000 acre-feet of water. "Mr. Mashburn. 4,400,000 acre-feet. "Mr8 Bannister. This book says 4,400,000 acre-feet plus one-half of the excess water in the river system over and above 16,000,000 acre-feet. She could not possibly get a total of over 5,200,000 or 5,300,000 acre-feet out of the 8,500,000 acre-feet. She cannot possibly touch the Gilo [sic] River proper, because that is below any possible use in California. Those allocations of water are saved to the State of Arizona. It is the coming appropriation of water that we in the north fear." (P. 1821.) 2. |
