 The CHly incident of the day which was other than unanimous was the withdrawal from the meeting of John R. Hoover. He said he had been in formed that it was a meeting of all water users. He gathered from re- marks. though. that it was furthering the project of the Water Users aeso- citation and those alone could partici- pate who had signed it's articles. He Waneed to know if that was the case. He had not signed and was desirous of knowing if he had any standing in court. C. B. Wood, in reply stated that it was 2 meeting of all water users, but that if the committee report was adopted then no one would have any standing in court unless he had sub Gcribed to the articles in question.
