"First. A few weeks ago the Bur
lington Ditch company bought one
third of the water to which the Dug
gan ditch is entitled. The Dugean
ditch is taken out a few miles above
the Fulton headgate and has a decree
of 81 cubic feet, which is year
earlier than the Fulron's first appro-
priation. The Burlington is about
to sue for a decree Of transfer of one
third of 81 feet of water on the
strength of its Duggan purchase.
That suit will pe a test case. III
successful it will mean the transfer
of the other two thirds or not less
than 40 feet of water from the Platte
river to the Burlington. The fact is
that not more than or 6 feet OF wa
ter have ever been used by the Dug.
gan and for forty years the water
here sought TO be diverted has gone
down the river to irrigation bitches

chat outrage he perpetrated the first
ditch to receive a deadly blow will

Second. AT the annual meeting
The Greeley tribune., 1904-01-21
AFTER OFFENDERS
Council Committee Inspects the
Ash Barrels.

Last Saturday the building COM
posed of Aldermen Thompson, Barber
and Bready, made the rounds of the
business blocks of the city to investi-
gate their facilities for escape in case
of tire, in accordance with the resolu-
iton passed at the last meeting OF the
council, Tuesday, January 5. The
Zeal object of the committees inves
tigation was the opera house, but the
members did not feel particularly
elated over what might be done to
improve the safety of the building.
They stated that an opening might
he cut through into the Carpenter &
-on usend offices and thus make an
extra exit, but the offices would have
to he abandoned. The stairway on
the outside of the building on the
south side might also be enlarged and
the double doors moved farther from
the stage. AS it is now, these doors
are considered too far from the back
uart of the auditorium to furnish an
exit from that part of the house.
There was one thing, however, that
somewhat raised the ire Of the alder
men, and that was the way ashes
were being thrown into the alleys.
In speaking Of the matter after
their trip one of the aldermen said
it was the greatest wonder in the
world that the town was not burned
down from some of those piles OF
ashes. There was hardly safe ash
pit in the entire business section or
the town. Many places there are no
pits at all, and the ashes are simply
thrown in pile in the back alley,
where the wiud can carry sparks to
adjoining buildings. Other places
have only wooden barrels that are
really worse than no ash pit at all.
If the aldermen keep their present
determination they will go after all
offenders in this line, and they now
have complete list Of names Of these.
The Greeley tribune., 1904-01-21

ity between the litigation that is
likely to result there and that which
is already in progress between the
city Of Greeley and irrigation CON-
panies.
In an appeal to the stockholders Of
the Fulton ditch, F. A. Meredith OF
Fort Lupton, one OF the officers Of
the company, reviews the situation
and the danger that Is menacing the
people in that section. 1t follows:
1.-THE Fulton ditch is now facing
dangers which it is not safe to leave
to the hasty consideration they would
receive at our approaching annual
meeting. For that reason make
this statement OF facts that the sit
uation may be clearly understood in
The Greeley tribune., 1904-01-21

OF the Burlington recently held the
product OF bond issue of $50, 900 was
placed at the disposal of the directors
1or the purpose OF working through
deal with the city OF Denver by
which all its waste water would be
turned over to that ditch company,
the intention being to keep 1t out of
the river. The waste water from
Denver now averages 40 feet per sec.
ond for the round year and will IN
crease steadily as the city grows.
10 provide for this certain growth,
the Denver Union Water company is
ever IN the market as a buyer of wa
ter. Within the last six months it
has purchased water rights aggregat-
ing nearly 100 cubic feet and persist
emily asserts that such purchase will
not materially affect the valley be-
low, as the great bulk of that water
will go back into the river for the
use OF irrigators, as the waste water
OF Denver has done ever since there
has been any. This threatened barter
for Denver's waste water concerns
the four bitches below the Fulton
and OF earlier date, the Brantner,
Platteville, Lupton Bottom and
Brighton. There are times when
even the Brantner receives part of
its supply from that source; while,
with that water diverted from the
river, the Plattevllie would in a low
stage OF water receive only the seep-
age that would accum llate below the
BrantneJ headsate.
1.-The success of either one of these
schemes OF the Burlington would be
disastrous to property owners under
the Fulton. The success of both
would be iuinous. In either case,
the effect in nine years out of ten.
would be to close our beadeate dur
ing a period when water would be
indispensable for vegetable crops.
Nothing could be grown with a
shadow of certainty except small
grain and alfalfa. A third cutting
of alfalfa would be precarious and
sometimes a second. The conse-
Quenoes would be a big drop In the
price OF land. With sure supply
OF water through the season good
land under the Fulton ditch would
range from slOe per acre upwards.
But confined to grain and alfalfa, CSC
per acre would be good figure The
purpose Of the Burlington involves
blight to our section of the Platte
valley and since our trading points
depend upon the prosperity of our
farmers, OF course the result would
paralyze both Brighton and Lupton.
1.-The crisis calls for prompt and
vigorous action The Affairs Of the
Fulton ditch should be controlled
absolutely by the stockholders Of the
Fulton ditch, untrammelled by the
Influence or interests of any other
ditch company
