THE bill is now being drafted and it
will be presented at the proper time"
said AR Martinez Monday. Our
contention is that the valleys of the
Rio Grande on this side of the river

by the usurption of the water rights
of the upper Rio Grande valley land
owners in Colorado Mexico, under
the treaty, is relieved Of any cost of
construction for the project, or for
water from it by reason of this fact
The water users on the American side
having lost their water rights in the
same way feel that they are entitled
to similar consideration and congress
will be asked to relieve the valley
owners under the project from the ex-
cessive burden placed upon them by
reason of the treaty with Mexico. No
amount has vet been fixed as a reduc-
ton on the cost of the project as that
will be arrived at later"
