Recent legislation, Mr. Hollen beck pointed out, authorized the state engineer to deny further tensions of time for final proof of water filings in toe state, and as a consequence many filings have been cancelled within the past 2 years. The filings thus lost are lost to toe entire state, Mr. Hollenbeck pointed out, as they are immediately taken up by the law of priority by filings in states lower down on toe Colorado river and in Mexico. s Ceremony Marks Beginning of Duchesne Bore With officials of the U.
