PECOS RIVER WATER
APPLICATION FILED

Mrs. c. J. Meberry OF FL Paso, Tex
as through her agent J. b. LARA
zolo, Jr., has filed application with
the state engineer for 5000 acre
feet OF wafer from the Pecos river
to irrigate 1000 acres about six miles
south of Carlsbad. This is really in
tended as a reinstatement of the
old rights under appropriation of
Frank +. Downs and his successor
in title the Carlsbad Plantation and
Orchards Company. Mr.. Downs be-
gan the building of irrigation works
in 1902. Later the Public Utilities
Company took over the Downs dam
site and built a power dam. Mr.
downs installed head works in the
north wing of the dam.
The Carlsbad Plantation and Or
chard Company undertook to develop
the project fully. but eventually got
into financial difficulties. The com
pany spent much money in the i'm
provement of the irrigation works
and in the development of the 2OOO
acres under the canals. Since June
l. l9l6, no water has been used and
under the law the RIGHTS would aii-
tomatically lapse unless good rea-
sons can be shown for the non-use
~ water.
