Last year approximately eighteen thousand dollars was spent by these counties in drilling test wells for the purpose of determining new water sources; i.e., will wells drilled m certain locations draw from the Sevier River supply, and other facts. The office of the State Engineer cooperates with the counties in this project, and Mr. Mayo of that of-f- ic was present to join in the disof the cussion. Representatives U. S. Geological Survey also were present. Of the sum spent last year, approximately $6000 was contributed by each of Sevier and Millard Counties. Millard County's share of this was $3000, which was appropriated by the Commissioners. The balance or $3000 was raised by five irrigation companies In this county that are served by the Sevier River system. These wells were drilled in what could be termed the middle Sevier. It was tentatively agreed at the meeting to continue a similar exploration program during 1961 In the upper Sevier region. Definite approval of the project will take place when funds from all sources are available. Representing Millard County at this Richfield meeting were Commissioners Ashby Robison and Frank Lyman, Commissioner-elec- t Archie Christensen, H. S.
