Curtis Should a Conservancy District be formed? The Reclamation service, the Utah Water and Power Board, and many individuals advocate the establishment of Conservancy District for handling the business of the Central Utah Project. Some Conservancy Districts are in operation in the state at the present time The Carbon County and the Weber River was organized a number of years ago. It undertook the business of reconstructing the Scofield Reservoir, and the storage, use, and distribution of the waters of Price River. The district embraced the whole County. There were so many mines, promanufacturers, power plants, railroads, cessing plants, dry-ic- e all were which directly or indirectly, that the benefited, et., burden of flood control and water conservation did not fall upon the shoulders of any one group. All joined to make the project beneficial, practical, workable, and to ease the financial costs. It seems to have done a creditable job. The Weber Project is being put into operation now. It is in the Construction stage. Such a district is not necessarily confined to one county.. Tt may embrace several counties, or be restricted to a small part of Dis-ric- ts one county. But, what is a Concervancy district? It is an organization, set up under and in accord with the Utah Water Concervancy Act and forming the properties in a certain prescribed area into a district in order to conserve and acquire the use of water by purchase, or to appropriate unowned and unused state waters by diverting, conserving, developing, and stabalizing supplies of water for domestic, irrigation, power, to promote the commanufacturing and other beneficial uses state of Utah. the of of the people fort, safety and welfare How organized? It is begun, or instigated by a petition setting forth the purpose and objectives to be attained, arid signed by not less than a specified number of land owners in the district. The District court is vested with the jurisdiction of establishif it finds ing a Concervancy district after a proper investigation, that the project is beneficial feasable, desired by the majority of the property owners and conforms to the Conservation Act. the property owners and conforms to the Consehvation Act. It seems the various canal companies, irrigation districts, Federal Projects and Deer Creek and the Strawberry Project would be eligible for these benefits without change in their Donna Simons, Payson FFA sweetheart, is pictured with the chapter officers, left to right, Fred Openshaw, sentinel, Robert Spackman, reporter, Hyrum Wilson, president, Ray Okelberry, vice president, Dwane Haskell, secretary, and David Christiansen, treasurer.
