Association:
Your committee on development of

report:
That your committee recommends
the development Of the power which
can be obtained from the waters of
the Gunnison River flowing between
the points where the Cimarron flows

the Tunnel. That this power would
be Of untold value to the residents

would very materially aid in the bet
tering Of our agricultural and in
dustrial conditions. and the efficiency
and prosperity Of our people.
While we deeply deplore our pres

sion, we still believe that with the
hopedfor coming adjustment OF our
project problems; improving national

We, therefore, recommend that the
board take this matter up with the
Board Of Survey and Adjustments.

of the supplemental construction
costs OF the project.
And We further feel assured that
If this plant can be put in operation
that the sale Of power and light with
improved industrial conditions which
will necessarily follow. will not only
pay for the same, but will materially
aid in the payment Of the present
construction costs OF the project.
Respectfully submitted.
