principal engineer, is as follows:
First—The service will not ob
struct nor in any way interfere with
any legitimate enterprise for the
construction of irrigation works by
private or corporate capital, but on
the contrary will lend every legal
encouragement to such construc
tion.
Second—The service will, if pos
sible, however, protect the reservoir
sites and other essential portions of
a comprehensive project from
seizure by speculators to the detri
ment of irrigation development.
Thiid—Where withdrawals have
been made and investigations be
gun, and private parties ask the
service to Btand aside,for their bene
fit, they must be able to show:
(a)—That they are constructors,
and not merely speculators, (b)—
That the project to be constructed
would be a real public benefit and
not operate as an obstruction to the
development of the irrigation re
sources. in a comprehensive and
economical manner.
