According to Mr. Champ, the inflow into Bear Lake up to the end of the year was much less than a year ago, in spite of the fact that practically the entire flow of Bear river been diverted into the lake since the close of the 1934 irrigating season. Notwithstanding more recent storms, the snow cover on the upper reaches of Bear, river is still light and the flow of Bear river has been as low as 35 cubic feet per second. With the retarded recovery of the Bear Lake level, all possible steps have been taken to advance the Green River diversion, in cooperation with the state of Wyoming, in the borders of which both the storage dam and diversion canal would be built, with a large acreage of Wyoming land also under the proposed distribution system. Engineering data which was gathered during the past season is being rapidly assembled under the direction of T. H. Humpherys, state engineer, at the request of Governor Blood, under a project recently approved by the state F. E. R. A., of which Mr. Champ is chairman, in order that this may be submitted by the Utah state water storage commission, to Washington for preliminary approval and a definite allocation of funds to complete engineering which plans and specifications will epen the way for the definite consideration of the project as a public works enterprise. It is felt that the final approval of this project will assure the restoration of the level of the waters of Bear lake and will promote the operation of an emergency program during 1935 when, although be storage supnlies will again gre .tly impaired, the natural flow of the streams in this region, at least those from the east range, may relieve the situation considerably for over 75.000 acres of land in Cache and Box Elder counties dependent upon the flow of Bear river.
