Taft urged to decide on San Luis water rights controversy
A letter to President Taft from Governor Shafroth urges direct presidential action on San Luis Valley water rights. The letter argues the Colorado headwaters dispute over rights of way and reservoir construction should be decided by Taft personally, opposing an advisory committee. It contends Colorado has prior rights but must fulfill federal treaty obligations, urging a hearing in October with a Colorado committee. The note claims a committee decision would delay settlement and seeks timely relief.
