The following letter was presented to the Commissioners by Mr. T. M. Benedict regarding
the old canyon road through the air port:
THE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION
State Office Building
Denver 2, Colorado
December 29, 1950
Mr. T. M. Benedict
Box 302
Aspen, Colorado
Dear Mr. Benedict:
Our attention has been called to the fact that several near collisions have occured between
landing aircraft and automobiles driving across the airport at Aspen, due to the fact that
a road crossing the airport has been allowed to remain open to automobile, truck and horse
drawn vehicles.
It is our understanding that this is a county road over which your County Commissioners have
control. Will you please take steps through your County Commissioners to see that this road
is closed and all surface vehicles routed around the landing strip.
Unless the suggested closing of this road can be accomplished, it will no doubt be necessary
:
to suspend any and all commercial air Barrier operation from the present site.
Kindly advise this office of the action taken to eliminate the hazard referred to above.
Very truly yours,
THE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION OF THE

GENTLEMEN: The petition of The High Line Canal Company

are erroneous for the following reasons, Viz:
That the above named petitioner is a corporation organized, existing and doing business under
and by virtue of the laws of the State of Colorado, as a non - profit corporation, commonly kno n
as a mutual ditch company, with its principal office and place of business at Rocky Ford, Cor-
rado, and is the owner of an irrigation system consisting of canals, ditches, flumes, reser-
voirs and tunnels, situate in the Counties of Pueblo,Otero, Lake and Pitkin, in the State of
Colorado, which said System has at all times since the orga»flation of Petitioner been used
and operated, and is now being used and operated, exclusively for the irrigation of lands in
said Otero County, belonging to the stockholders of said corporation.
That the portion of said System situate in said Pitkin County, and hereinafter described, wa:
acquired by petitioner on or about the 16th day of December, A.D. 1949.
That general taxes for the year 1950 in the amount of $565.05 were by the taxing authoritiel
of said County levied and assessed upon and against said property, on an assessed valuation o�
$12,960.00 contrary to the provisions of Article X, Section 3,, of the Constitution of the State
of Colorado, and paragraph 7 of Section 22, Chapter 142, 1935 Colorado Statutes Annotated,
exempting this character of property, so owned and used, from taxation.
That the property so illegally assessed as aforesaid, situate in said Pitkin County, is mole
particularly described as follows:
Those certain ditches, flumes, reservoirs and tunnels, together with priorities of right t
.zse of water, appropriations, water rights, franchises and rights of way comprising what is
commonly as the Busk- Ivanhoe System, said water rights having been heretofore adjucicat:d
in the District Court of the Ninth Judicial District sitting within and for the County of
Garfield, State of Colorado, in Water District No. 38 of said State, to -wit:
Busk- Ivanhoe Reservoir, awarded Reservoir Priority No. 14 as of date June 27, 1921; Ivanhoe
Creek Ditch, awarded Priority No. 246 for 35 cubic feet of water per second of time of date
June 27, 1921; Lyle Ditch, awarded Priority No. 247 for 50 cubic feet of water per second of
time of date of September 28, 1924; Hidden Lake Creek Ditch, Priority No. 249 for 100 cubic
feet of water per second of time of date of August 30, 1927; Ivanhoe Tunnel, a part of said
System as shown by said decrees of said Court for the transportation of the priorities of rig t
to the use of water hereinabove described, from the West to the East side of the Continental
Divide.
That he has not paid said taxes. Wherefore your petitioner prays that the taxes, as afor -
said erroneously assessed, may be abated in the sum of $565.05.

ion.

III. THE Committee Stresses that Under its Goals Major Areas of the Counties are Not Affected

Dear Mr. McKee:
After recent contracts with you and with some of the Pitkin Canty Officials, it was sugg-
ested that our office submit a proposed fire appropriation before the preparation of the
1952 budget. If the following items are budgeted this year and show as actual payments from
a fire appropriation next year, this office will be able to make maximum reimbursements:
1. 12 months of the Sheriff's salary $300.00
2. Fire fighting tools 200.00 /e
3. Approximate cost of actual fire fighting 400.00
Total fire appropriation 900.00
We hope that the commissioners find it possible to appropriate at least this amount for fire
preventation and suppression during the calendar year, 1952. ■r
Yours very truly,

AND WHEREAS, it is also the opinion of the Board of County Commissioners of Pitkin County,
Colorado, that the 1950 population figures are, in the case of this county, not a true triter
ion of the amount of work required by the County officials and therefore the salaries as

work by the County Officials;

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that ype of legislation should be passed immediately to enable the
people of this county to elect intelligent, experienced and qualified personal capable of
handling the complex duties of the respective offices.
