V. Smoot, Corlnne, president of the group. Of particular interest is the request from the state engineers office asking for adjudication of all Bear River water rights in Utah, including tributaries. This may result in users proving up on their water rights again, although three decrees already are on record. Several hearings have been held before Judge Lewis Jones, including one last week, on a cooperative agreement with the Utah Power and Light company, the sugar company and other users. An adjudication order may be signed by the judge later this month, it was explained. On a national basis, all western water rights are being challenged although a senate bill, now pending, introduced by Senator Barrett of Wyoming, would give the separate states jurisdiction to adjudicate water. Also pending in the congress is the Bear River compact which now has been ratified by all three states involved, Utah, Idaho and Wyoming. Other water matters will come up for discussion at the Monday meeting, as well as annual election of directors to the Bear River Water Users board, Water Boards Meet Friday on j Big Reservoir News and Journal Classified Brings Unexpected Results An Inquiry from the state of Virginia was' received here this week in response to a News and Journal classified advertisement. Receiving the letter was the Breitenbeker Electric who had advertised reconditioned television sets at bargain prices. A reader In Anadale, Va., Lloyd Holmes, wrote concerning one of the sets for his parents, Mr. and Mrs. G. M. Holmes who live in Harper ward. It certainly is a testimonial to the effectiveness of News and Journal classified ads, when you get replies clear across the nation, Mrs. Louis Breitenbeker said j The proposal to enlarge the Willard reservoir to impound waters from Bear River will be explored today, Friday, at a meeting in Ogden attended by members of the ..Utah Water and Power board, Weber Basin Conservancy district and Bui eau of Reclamation officials. The plan suggested recently by Gov. George D. Clyde would double or triple the size of the proposed 10,000 acre Willard reservoir which will store up to 200,000 acre-fee- t of flood waters from the Weber River, and would cost about $8 millions. The governors proposal would extend the reservoir boundaries north to Brigham City, crossing Unit 5 of the Federal Migratory Bird refuge to receive water from the Bear River channel. -- r |
