GOVERNOR I preme Court ruling, Mr. Bingham said: Most significant to Utah is the statement that Colorado River tributaries are for the use of those states through which they flow". Utah Atty. General A. Pratt Kesler, who represented Utah before the Supreme Court ruling arguments on the case, said the decision is a very distinct victory for Arizona and a matter of great concern for California." Mr. Kesler added, The decision will not be harmful in any way to Utahs position as far as Colorado River water is concerned." Gov. George D. Clyde said he was pleased that an opinion had been handed down by the high court The Language of the opinion would not have affected Utah one way or the other," the governor said, but the fact that an opinion has been reached -- should help us implement the Dixie Project" Some of the delay in getting the Dixie Project approved can be attributed to waiting for this court decision, the governor said.

He has also been active and a hard worker in many other respects to better Southern and the State, the following information was released to the Southern Utah News on the last meeting of the State Highway Commission, of further efforts by Mr. Smirl for our area. The meeting was May U-t- ah 24, 1963: Commissioner Smirl said that Lake Powell will be 186 miles long and there is no access to this lake in Utah at the present time. The only place that a boat can be launched is at Wahweap and that is in the State of Arizona. He said there are plans to develop facilities for the lake at Warm Creek at a future date, but this facility is needed now. The Park Service will build the facilities and the road within the withdrawal area, but they feel the construction of an access road leading to the withdrawal area is the responsibility of either the State or the County. -, a discussion of motion was made by Commissioner Smirl, seconded by Commissioner Feltch, and unanimously passed.: That the Utah State Road Commission request the members of our Congressional dele-fitio- n to seek the earmarking of $500,000 of Federal funds for the prompt development of a road and facilities at Warm Creek on Lake Powell, permitting the citizens of this upper basin state, In which LJ;e Powell is almost entirely located, to have direct access to the Lake at the earliest possible time.
