Blaine B. Coles also brought a harmonious tone to the conference by urging that a plan be worked out fo r joint colonization and eventual acquisition o f full title to the Vaimspring reservoir. In response to this suggestion Mend urged that the delegation re. turn by way o f Denver and confer with R. F. Walter, chief reclamation engineer, about possible unification f the tffi. *projo*ts. " I f we go into this at all, it must be with the understanding that there shall be no extension of the W arm , springs area.” Mead also said that the amount to be paid fo r the rest o f the reservoir w ill not be as great s the first payment o f $680,000 of ?8 per acre foot.
