THESE TOWNS ARE
SUFFERING FOR WATER

State Engineer T.. w. Jaycox is
now being besieged with requests for
additional water by towns and indi-
viduals along streams in eastern
Colorado. The continued drought,
unrelieved by anything except the
small furry of snow few days ago,
is now drying up creeks and bitches
and the situation is becoming more
or less serious in several sections.
The towns of Berthoud, Louisville
and Erie are practically without wa
ter. even for drinking purposes, al
though Berthoud has secured partial
relief, it Is stated. These towns are
supplied by South Boulder creek and
Coal creek ditch, but these are near
ly dry now.
bitches with priorities dating
ahead of later ones are now insisting
on their rights and Mr.. Jaycox says
there is nothing to be done when
this is the case. The priorities are
something the department cannot
change and in fact it is expected to
see tnat these rights are observed.
One ranchman on Bear creek says
he has $500 sheep depending on
certain ditch from which the water
is soon to be turned off in order to
furnish water to a ditcn with prior
rights.
There has been little water to use
for irrigating land in eastern Colo

it has been impossible to do spring

spring storms to relieve the situation
and are talking optimistically of the
One farmer said yester-
day at the state engineers office that

rains to permit plowing and pull the
