Cochran, Secretary of the Department of Public Works, I I Lincoln, Nebtaska. i I Gentlemen: , , , The Mayor and pity Council of the City of Grand Island, Nebraska, hereby formallf protest the approval b1 the Department r-, i of Public Works of the organization of the so-called Central I ! Nebraska Power district,! better known as the Tri-County project, i and against the so-calle~ Sixty-six County district, and against any other district that ~hall include the Tri-County project, i because it involves the ~iversion of waters from the Platte j River basin to the Repub~ican River basin, either by surface i I flow, or sub-surface flo~, or seepage. I The Me.yor and pity Council desire herewith to pddnt I out that, at their meetipg of March 18th, 1933, they adopted a I I resolution, a copy of wh~ch was sent to Governor Charles W. Bryan, i in which it wa.s set forth that such diversion of the flow of the I i Platte River basin as co~templated in the Tri-County plan, as to both surface and underflpw "will seriously interfere with the vested, natural and prio~ rights of the citizens of this city i . with their domestice wat~r supply". The said resolution further I I I set forth that "there hal8 recently been such a shortage of under- flow as to contaminate t~iS city's water supply and to compel this city to chlorinate its w~ter for sometime, and to make an ad- I I I ditional expenditure of ~50,OOO.OO in our publicly owned water, light and ice plant to ojvercome a Platte-flow water shortage", i and that "we oppose any ~ct which would divert any water from j the Platte Valley water ~hed to any other water shed". I And the Mayor ~ndCity Council of the City of Grand Island desire i , further tol point out that the approval of the for- said Centrkl Nebraska Power District will be vio- I I i I me,t ion of the ---~ --.., I I I ~ ---.., UI 210 lative of the filing of ~he City of Grand Island of April 20, i 1933, with the Department! of Public Works, for an appropriation i of a sufficient amount 0$ the sub-surface waters of the Platte River for its present anq future uses. I We further prot!est against the approval of the Central Nebraska Power District air the Tri-County district, or any district that will include the same, because the illegal filing i upon which it is based i~ for 2500 second feet whereas the re- I ! port of the duration of filo"" of the North Platte river at Keystone, Nebraska, as co!mpiled by the Department of Roads and Irrigation, shows that, ~fter having supplied existing project requirements between Keys!tone and North Platte in the year 1931, there was a flow of 1300 iseoond feet or more for 220 days and ! a flow of 2500 second fee~ or more for 42 days only, and in I the year 1932 there was a! flow of 1300 seoond feet or more for 206 days and a flow of 25pO acre feet or more for only three i days. Nevertheless, the ~ri-County distriot has applied for I the right to divert water! at three other points, the effect of i which would be to lower t~e level of the sub-surface storage still more disastrously. ! Substantiating this, our information is to the effect that all! reports of impartial army engineers , show an insufficienty of ~ater in the Platte River to permit a diversion of 2500 secon~ feet for power purposes only, as designed by the illegal f~ling upon which the Tri-County claims are based. We further prot~st against the approval of the said Central Nebraska Power Di~trict or Tri-County project in the I , name of farm owners of approximately 500 well-irrigation plants i east of Kearney, whose wa~er for irrigating their lands would, I I by the organization of th~ same, be taken from them for irrigation and substituted for the u~e of power, in violation of the consti- tution of the state of Ne~raska, and contrary to the provisions I of the enabling act, know~ as S.F. 310. i We base our pro~est further upon the fact that the provisions of the Tri-Couhty district, from an engineering i ~ --,., I I I -~ --,., 211 point of view, are in d~rect conflict with the provisians, from the same point of view, lof the Platte Valley Public Power and I i Irrigation District, na~ely: The latter provides that the water I i shall continue to flow 1nto and through the North Platte River in order to supply the ~ight irrigation ditches between North i Platte and Kearney, and !to replenish the supply of water in the ! sub-surface reservoir e~st of Kearney, while the former would i I divert the same at varidus points west of Kearney, to the detri- I I i ment of both ditch and ~ub-suriace irrigation.
