Washington A bill to repeal congressional authorization of the UDDer Colorado River Stor ee Protect was introduced Tues day by Rep. Utt Utt charged in a statement hat specification irt invjatjon of bids for construction of Glen Canyon Dam, the first unit of the 760 million dollar protect would violate the Colorado River Compact, the Boulder Project Act and existing wa ter and power contracts. Utt said the specification would require the construction "ontractor to release as little as cubic feet per 1,000 to 3,000 second of Colorado River water through the dam site during the dam, while existing downstream fcommitments call for more than 12,500 second Can-vo- feet This means, Utt said, that there would be a withholding of thifr- million acre feet of water during the first phase of construction. Hoover Dam is already at a dangerously low point resulting in inefficent operation of the generating plants." Utt noted that the Colorado River storage project authorization law, enacted by Congress last year, requires compliance with existing compacts, statutes and treaties and authorizes suits to enforce compliance.

Stata Offico BLM Sats Rights Study The Utah State Minerals Ofthe U5. Bureau of Land Management has completed the preliminary examination required under Public Law 167 as part of a process to determine surface rights on an area near Kanab, Utah. This area Includes a range improvement poject consisting of fences and some reseeding. The area examined is mainly within Township 42 S., Township 43 S., Ranges 3 W., 4 44 W., Township 44 S., Ranges 4 W., 44 W., Salt Lake Meridian in Kane County. This action is for the purpose of retaining surface rights to the United States on unpatented mining claims located before July 23, 1955. On all mining claims located after this date, the surface rights automatically remain with the United States until the claim goes to patent. The holder of a valid mining claim located before the above date may retain surface rights by filing a verified statement as provided for In the law. Persons in possession of unpatented mining claims in the above area will be notified either directly or by publication and will be advised as to what steps may be taken. This action in no way limits the right to prospect for and mine valuable minerals which are locatable under the mining laws, but it insures the right of the United States to manage the surface resources. Anyone wishing further information on this new law, which includes provisions for the Government sale of common materials such as sand and gravel and building stone, may inquire at the Utah State Minerals Office, Room 337 Federal Building, Salt Lake City, Utah. fice of n Miss Sherry Bunting and Lois Marie Beard spent last week end in Kanab visiting with home folks from their schools in Salt Lake City. , |
