The following letter was directed to Mr. Everett Sollee, President, Crowley County Farmers Assn., Ordway, regarding Frying Pany Diversion Project; Mr. Everett Sollee, President Crowley County Farmers Assn. Ordway, Colorado !Dear Mr. Sollee: It has been brought to our attention that your Association is opposed to the construct- ion of the Frying Pan Arkansas Diversion Project and is thusly on record. You are possibly aware that this County is of similar opinion for the following reasons: (a) It creates added competition for our already harrassed farmers. (b) The cost of the Scheme per acre is prohibitive. (c) The cost of the water per acre foot is prohibitive. (d) It will in- crease taxes both direct and hidden for all of us. (e) The State of Colorado will be better served by using the water in its natural basis to develop its fantastic mineral re- 1 sources. (f) The economy of this county is largely based upon its rivers. If it is possible for you and for us to cooperate for our mutual advantage we trust you will advise us. We would appreciate it if you would mail us a copy or several copies of !I resolutions adopted by your organization concerning your objections to this proposed legis- li �l lation. With many thanks in anticipation and with kind regards. Yours sincerely ( ) C.O. Quam Board of County Commissioners Pitkin County, Colo.
