I*1’'4303 of the chief of Engineers of the
Army to the Congress (House
Document 448, 83rd Congress,
2nd session.)" This is Gen. Stur-
gis’ report which was referred
to previously.
As has been concluded, this
provision gives SRMWD the
paramount rights to contract
with the government for water
storage in Cooper Reservoir
without any reservations. This
means that no other political
entity has the right to contract
with the Corps of Engineers.
Some of the critics have put out
the information that if the Water
District didn’t sign that some of
tlie remaining cities were going
ahead and leave us out. This
point is tied up tight so that no
infringements can be made on
our rights. Some have even said
that Dallas or Lake Lavon was
going to come over here and

coidance with regulations pre-
scribed by the Secretary of the
Army. Sec. 2. "There is hereby
authorized to be appropriated
such sums as may be necessary
to carry out the provisions of
this Act." There is only one
thing wrong with this bill and
that is the part which refers to
j the “Report of the Chief of En-
gineers" as spelled out above.
If you will go back to Article I
appearing in the Cooper Review
May 24, 1962, and re-read Sec-
tion 8 (b-6) and you will sec
that they had set out to charge
us $1,000,000.00 for the 1st
10,000 acre feet of water which
by simple arithmetic will pro-
duce a cost of $100.00 per acre
foot. Now this wasn’t all, we
were to be saddled with
$400,000.00 for land enhance-
ment values as prescribed by
this same report. This amounted
to another $40.00 per acre foot.
At the same time Lavon Reser-
voir was being completed on a
fork of the Trinity River at a
cost of approximately $13.00 per
acre foot; Belton Reservoir near
Belton, Texas, for $14.55 perr
acre foot; and Ferrells Bridge
near Jefferson at $8.00 per acre
foot. I had no idea these charges
and formula would stick with us
because all informed advisors
thought that as soon as the
Democrats wore back in office
they would do away with the
A-47 Directive and we would
revert back to the incremental
method of determining cost to
lho local interest which would
have reduced our cost to some-
where near a reasonable figure
or at least a fair share of tne
overt 11 cost

The exoressed will of the peo-

This is one of the basic State of
Texas Statutes and will be
spelled out further in the dis-
cussion.
The Bill before Congress was
known as H.B. 4362 as introduc-
ed by Congressman Wright
Patman representing the 1st
Congressional District of Texas
in the Congress of the United
States. Hearings on the Bill
were held on May 17, 1955, be-
fore the House of Representa-
tives Sub-committee of Flood
Control of the Committee on
Public Works. The Bill' H. R.
4362, 84th Congress, 1st Session,

project for Red River below

stantially in accordance with

hoped that he and Senator
Johnson could get the President
to sign the Bill. We don’t know
what was said but Senator
Johnson reportedly went to
President Eisenhower and in
the end got him to sign the Bill.
This report came back to me
from Senator Johnson’s office
and I believe they were as ex-
cited as we were about the sit-
uation, This was a record, a pre-
cedent had been broken in the
fact that no authorization bill
had ever soloed through the
Congress of the United Statrt
by itself. As previously pointed
out in Article I. usually projects
are all put under one Omnibus
Authorization Bill and passed
together.
The next thing was to get
some money for completion of
the study for construction and
this we got. In 1956, the en-
pincers received $125,000 for the
project for advanced planning.
Late m the summer of 1955,
the Directors of each of the
three towns were appointed by
the respective cities and the
Board of Directors was organiz-
ed After organization we had
three specific jobs to perform
with respect to operating the
District: 1. To employ Bond
Counsel: 2. To employ a Fiscal
Agent; 3. To employ an En-
gineering Firm. After meeting
with many applicants we em-
ployed as Bond Counsel the
firm of McCall, Parkhurst and
Crowe of Dallas, Texas; Rausch-
er, Pierce and Co. as Fiscal
Agents; and Koch and Fowler
as Engineers. A contr3^, ^he
signed with all three which the
District is still bound to. These
contracts were screened as com-
petitive in price for services and
the best judgement of all six di-
rectors was utilized. The action
in employment was unarumous.
In 1957, we went back to Con-
crcss and obtained final plan-
Sms money of $275,000 and
$225,000 to begin construction
with. Speaker Rayburn stated
“This was the first project ^

saw that received construction
money before the planning was
completed."
Col. William It. Lewis, Dis-
trict Engineer of the New Or-
leans District, Corps of En-
gineers, addressed the Delta
Chamber of Commerce members
and guests at the Country Club
on October 15, 1957, and at this
time the project was still
scheduled to be located at the
Peerless crossing.
Price Daniel was now Gover-
nor of Texas and he had helped
us get our bill through the Sen-
ate and was interested in the
water problems of Texas. To do
something about it he appointed
a 100-man Statewide Water
Committee to study the water
problems of Texas by (J) en-
actment at the Special Session
of Legislation for statewide wa-
ter research and planning, and
(2) a campaign for approval of
the Constitutional amendment
for Water Development at the
election in November 1957. This
was the beginning of the move-
ment of Texas to do something
about the water resources. The
constitutional amendment car-
ried and set up funds of
$200,000,000 for financial as-
sistance to water improvement
Districts throughout the state
by providing funds to purchase
bonds that could not be sold at
a reasonable price on the
market. This law proved to be
inoperative so by passage of
subsequent legislation in the
last regular session of the Leg-
islature they have now made it
workable. The Texas Water De-
velopment Board is allowed to
purchase bonds issued from a
water district in an amount of
up to $15,000,000.00 for any one
project at an attractive interest
rate based on the State’s ability
to borrow and not upon the in-
dividual district. In fact a lot
of districts can get their bonds
financed there that probably
couldn’t sell them on the open
market.
A new water policy was is-
sued now by the State Board of
Water Engineers which said,
“That no new reservoir could
be constructed unless it was
built to the maximum capacity."
It was pointed out that sites
were few and for the future all
water must be impounded that
was possible for the health and
welfare of the public. This was
a wise decision.
To carry out this recommend-
ation the last Legislature pass-
ed a suggested constitutional
amendment which must be
voted upon this November
(1962) general election. It pro-
vides that the Texas Water De
velopment Board can purchase
water storage in reservoirs in
Texas to assure that they are
built to the maximum capacity.
Under this arrangement, the
State of Texas will furnish the
money to buy storage area in
federally constructed or other
proposed reservoirs in Texas.
This is the vehicle that the Di-
rectors of SRMWD propose to
use in financing (he local in-
terests rhare in Cooper Reser-
voir. This will be discussed
later.
I was apointed by the Gover-
nor of Texas to serve on this
statewide Water Committee and
the Board of Directors urged me
to attend and participate. How-
ever, they never provided any
funds for transportation or ex-
pense. Governor Daniel will go
down in History Books for ear-
ryng out his proposed Water
Program. __
The Directors of the SRMWD
feel that we had a part in his
(the Governor) decision to do
this important work and our
project has been the topic of
many discussions as a pilot pro-
ject. In fact Mr. Joe Carter,
chairman of the State Board of
Water Bngineers, stated at the
last meeting of the Statewide
Water Committee that Cooper
was the prime cause for this
constitutional amendment to be
initiated, that provided the
machinery for the Texas Water
Development Board to purchase
water storage. Under the fact
that the State of Texas can pur-
chase water storage, we the
local people do not lose our wa-
ter rights. The water still be-
longs to the people of this wa-
tershed. This is one of the
points we have fought for, to
preserve our water rights.
Some of our critics would
have had us sell our water
rights to Lavon, DaMas or oth-
ers just to get the project, un-
der way. This was one of their
main arguments. Just get it
started any way you can. Would
they have us give away our
birthright for a few dollars that
the merchants might earn from
construction money out of the
Dam, or paying landowners for
the land? Our water resources
on Sulphur River is the last
Natural Resource that we have
left. Water is important and
historically it has moved nations
because of/or the lack of it The
people here in this area are
fortunate to have two Sulphur
Rivers bounding us, but they
must be used wisely.
The above statement Is true
and correct to the best of my
knowledge and belief. There has
been nothing deleted, from the
quoted document that would
change the meaning thereof.

Solicits Support
Dear Friends,
I have enjoyed my race for
the County Superintendency of
our County. I have enjoyed vis-
iting your homes, our homes;
and, electioneering with our
citizens. It has been pleasant
and nice.
From the contacts of my cam-
paign, however, I am positively
challenged to do all I can to
keep our County together in ev-
ery way and to aid it in any
and all ways possible, both as an
educator and citizen. We have
got to the point where if we let
ourselves become divided we
fall, but where also, if we stay
united we can still stand.
I have tried, and I believe
successfully, to meet all chal-
lenges of the race. All issues
have been explained, and I be-
lieve satisfactorily.
The case rests with you, the
citizens of Delta County. I shall
be satisfied if you vote your
honest convictions. L«t us not
be purchased, nor bought, nor
hoodwinked.
As my promise to you may I
quote Lincoln. I quote “I am
going to do the best I can, the
very best I know how. And I in-
tend to keep doing so until the
end. If the end brings me out
alright, what is said against me
won’t amount to anything. But
if the end bring me out all
wrong ten angels in Heaven
swearing I was right would
make no difference.”
I think I will have seen ev-
erybody and visited every home
by Saturday. That is my plan,
my aim. But if I haven’t, please
let me take this means of soli-
citing your vote and influence
for our County Superinten-
dency.
Please and thank you!
Sincerely,
