versy failed to advance toward a
compromise in San Angelo this week

feet OF water annually instead Of
the 1,225, 900 acre feet first asked.
The conference was held here to
determine whether San Angelo would
be amenable to such a proposal.
Brentwood representatives indicat-
ed here IL would be satisfactory to
their interests, although they have
made no definite announcement Of
acceptance, pending adoption by 9TH
err cities in the watershed.
= The Concho Water Development
Co. made neither definite
ment of intentions nor an
ment as 10 when such an
ment would be made. Officials of
the company said the proposal had
been taken under Amusement.
Those present at the meeting were
Jay Alexander, Hilton Burks, secre-
tary of the Brentwood Chamber of
Commerce; Engineer Ross Of the
Brentwood Irrigation district: w.
"A. Wilson of the San Saba Chamber
of Commences; and the following
members of the Concho Water De-

dictate preferences, the ballots were
not counted.
In many instances the counters

With two or three exceptions, all
