In an interview Frank FrueauIf,

Colorado irrigation propositions

about them. 1t is only few years

that the man who undertakes to

The Colorado leg stature has now

and only one bill (and il to pay

the week on the bill providing pro

over the various county division
bills, of which there are ten.
Even though the two houses are
controlled by the so-called reform

the direct intention of preventing
