Lubbock, TexasStudy Groups Appointed To Assist High Plains
Water District Board Of Directors
Three special study Committees have been appointed to assist the High
Plains Water District Board of Directors in their work on special problems.
The first group will be looking into the value of water for agricultural
purposes. This committee, as well as the other two, is made up of five men,
one from each District precinct. This committee has as its members the
following: Leroy Johnson of Shallowater, in Lubbock County; John Gam-
mon of Friona, in Parmer County; Elmer McGill of Olton in Lamb County;
Jim Line of Bushland, in Potter County; and J. R. Belt of Lockney, in Floyd
County.
The second committee is one which will be studying the District's need for
additional rules and changes in present regulations, if needed. This commit-
tee is made up of the following men: Earl Reasoner, of Slaton, in Lubbock
County; J. D. Hawthorne, of Morton, in Cochran County; Robert Byrd, of
Muleshoe, in Bailey County; Frank Begert, of Canyon, in Randall County;
and Robert Lee, Smith of Lockney, in Floyd County.
The last committee, but by no means the least in importance, is the group
that will be studying the various aspects of artificial recharge of our under-
ground sands. This committee is made up of the following men: Lit H. Moore,
Jr. of Wilson, in Lynn County; T. R. Davis of Hart, in Castro County; Henry
Schmidley of Levelland, in Hockley County; Ed Dziuk of Hereford, in Deaf
Smith County; and Tate Jones of Floydada, in Floyd County.
These three committees will study all facts of their respective problems
and offer recommendations to the Board of Directors.
Should any individual or group have suggestions pertaining to the business
of any one of these study groups, these suggestions will be most welcomed.
