The Glenwood post., 1907-12-07
Board Of Trade Talks Over
Subject Of the Work of
the c. c. P. Co.
NO ACTION IS taken

At n meeting of the Glenwood
Springs board of trade last night the
subject of the diversion Of tie water
of the Grand river was di cussel at
length, the report having gained head
way that through the operations of the
Central Colorado Power company, Glen
wood, on the completion of the great
projects of that concern, would be left
high and dry. President DeLan read
communications he had received from
the company in which he was assured
town. President DeLan, however, sug
gested that committee be appointed
to call on the town council to take nee
esssary steps in the matter.
In the district court at Red Clif on
December 9 the final decree will be en-
tered on the application for adiudica-
tioh.
Senator E. II. Taylor, local attouc
for the Central Colorado Power cont
pany, delivered an address in which he
deplored the fact that any agitation
bad been started over the matter. He
stated that what fees he had obtained
from the Central Colorado company
would not pay for much shoe leather or
buy great quantity of clothes. Glen
wood would not be affected for many
years, he added. and perhaps not then,
as the work of the power company
would be more likely to equalize the
flow of the river than to lessen it. He
stated that if the company undertook
to injurc the town he would be glad to
join in the fight.
If the decree is not satisfactory to
Glenwood then the town has six months
in which to take the matter to the su-
preme court. A motion that the board
appoint a committee to go before the
town council did not receive second,
and other business then was taken up.
Some residents of Glenwood, however,
claim that unless the town looks to its
rights without further delay there will
be damage done by the diversion of the
water for power purposes. Hence it is
insisted that the decree contain an alb
solute guarantee that the town be not
harmed
Something About Market Day.
w. r. Lee, chairman of the Market
the board. He stated that the commit
tee had collected tie sum of $259 with
which to defray the expenses incidental
to boosting Glenwood's first Market
day. The committee had expended the
sum of $l54.5O.
The question then arose as to what
should be done with the balance. and it
was decided to elect n treasurer of the
board of trade and place the cash in his
hands, he to put it in the bank to be
drawn upon for the incidental expenses
of the next Market day. +. f. Drach
was elected treasurer.
Mr.. Lee stated that the first Market
day was a success in every way, having
brought many strangers into town.
They had disposed of their products
and in turn well patronized the business
houses.
1t was the sense of the meeting that
the program for Market day could be
improved upon, and accordingly some
innovations may be looked for next
time. 1t will not be necessary to make
another collection among the busien $
men for funds for the next "day.'
President DeLan read letters relating
to the bringing of the new Episcopal
bishop for Western Colorado, Rev. +. J.
Mack, to Glenwood Springs. Bishop
Mack expressed himself in his letters as
well pleased with this town. Efforts
are being made, however, to induce him
to take up his residence in Montrose
and in Grand Junction. Glenwood how
ever. is believed to be the point best To-
Gated for the new diocese in view of
