Show Gunnison Reservoir Will Be Enlarged. The stockholders of the Gunnison Irrigation company at a meeting held Saturday of last week voted to allow the Spalding-Livingston Investment company to raise the Gunnison reservoir reser-voir dam in order to provide water for irrigating more than 10,000 acres of land in this valley in addition to that which is already being irrigated from the reservoir. It is estimated that the cost of increasing in-creasing the capacity of the reservoir to.supply this land will be $60,000, and in order to carry its plans into effect it will be neoessary for the D. & K, G. R. R. Co. to rai3e its track. It is understood that satisfactory arrangements ar-rangements have been made with the railroad company who will readily accede to tne request of the irrigation company. Work on the project will be begun in the near future. It means a boost for Gunnison Valley, and will bring under cultivation some of the best land inthe state. |
