COLLINS,COLORADO March 11, 1959 The meeting was called to order by the Vice-Chairman at 10:00 A. M. MR. STAPLETON: "Gentlemen if we can call the meeting to order, I have the distinct impression that every~ body here is about two blocks back. I don't see why we can't come a little closer. I am sure that it would facilitate the friendliness of the meet­ ing so l e t 's bring some of these chairs up closer if you don't mind. The fellows who have the deep seat cushions , you are out of order. Gentlemen and Mrs. Keating, we will call this meeting of the Colorado Water Conservation Board to order. On behalf of the members of the Board and our guests, we are delighted to be here at what I believe is the first meeting we have ever had at the Colorado State University. We are delighted, as I said, to be here and in a few minutes we will have a word of greeting from the President of the University, but we have a full agenda and we will go right on with the agenda. If any of you have some remarks to make, we'd appreciate it, so that we can get it on the record, if you will come up to the table where you can get within reasonable proximity of one of these micro­ phones which will help Mrs. Keating with the min­ utes. Those of you who have read the minutes con­ scientiously know what a great improvement this equipment has made in the accuracy of our minutes, the Durango meeting to the contrary notwithstand~ ing, and if you will do that, it will help us a great deal. I would like, first of all, to have approval of the minutes of the last meeting of the Water Conservation Board held in Denver. There have been some typographical corrections which have all been made. Are there any other additions or corrections which the Board has to note at this time? Hearing none I will ente:rta.in a motion that the minutes be approved as sub:. 1i tt~d." -1- MR. MILLER: "I so move." MR. CONOUR: "I second it." MR. STAPLETON: "All those in favor of the minutes as cor­ rected will please say 'aye '; opposed - the min­ utes are approved. I have a communication from the Governor: EXECUTIVE ORDER COLORADO WATER CONSERVATION BOARD ORDERED: That Mr. Frank Milenski, of La Junta, Colorado, be and he is hereby appointed a member of the COLORADO WATER CONSERVATION BOARD to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Mr. Christian Wunsch, of La Junta, Colorado, for a term expiring May 12, 1960. GIVEN under my hand and the Executive Seal of Colorado this fourteenth day of January, A. D. 1959 /sf STEVE McNICHOLS Governor Frank, we are delighted to have you with us and I would like you to stand up. I think you all know Frank. He has been one of the active members of the water groups in Colorado for many years and will be a valuable addition to our Board." MR. MI LENSKI: "Thank you." MR. STAPLETON: "For the members of the Board's information Mr. Sparks and I received a letter from the Gover­ nor concerning some investigation projects sug­ gested by Drs. Garnsey and Roberts of the Univer­ sity of Colorado at Boulder. I say that - the University of Colorado at Boulder - because I am not quite used to the Colorado State University and the University of Colorado, so this is Boulder. I was very anxious to hear a report from Drs. Garnsey and Roberts and I am sure you will be. Dr. Garnsey has done many research projects for the Governor in the last few years very success­ fully and he enjoys the confidence of the Governor{s -2.- office and the Legislative branch of the State Government. Dr. Roberts, as you know, is head of the Climax Observatory at Climax and Boulder and one of the very distinguished scientists of the University of Colorado. We are delighted to have them here and we placed them first on the agenda so that we can hear their proposal and suggestions on a complete survey of our water resources on the Colorado River. So Dr. Garnsey, will you take over from here?" (See Appendix A for report from Drs. Garnsey, Roberts and Chamberlain sent to Board members prior to this meeting). DR. GARNSEY: "Mr. Chairman, Mr. Director and members of the Board, as far as I am personally concerned this is really an historic occasion. I have been in Colorado now for about twenty years and during all of that time I have had the privilege of work­ ing more or less closely with the Water Board on various matters. I greatly enjoyed years of asso­ ciation with Judge Stone and admired tremendously his activities and his devotion to this 'man-kill­ ing' job of looking ct the water resources of our State. It seems to me that as the twenty years have gone by, we have faced more and more serious problems of water development and conservation and, by and large, we have been rising to the challenge of these pretty well. The reason I feel that this is an historic occasion is because I feel that the proposal that we have made to the Board represents a sort of a scientific breakthrough in dealing with these problems and that the Board, by the mere act of hearing and considering this proposal, is rising to the challenge of new problems in an effective way. Second, I think it is favorable, possible to say, if I may use a slight pun, that the climate of public opinion is also in favor of radical and drastic research activities and new policies in the area of water conservation development; and then finally, I am very happy to say that we at the University are in a position now that we weren't twenty years ago to offer to the Board scientific services of high quality.

    THE COLORADO MAGAZINE Published bi-monthly by The State Historical Society of Colorado Vol. XIX Denver, Colorado, November, 1942 No. 6 Lewis Ledyard Weld and Old Camp Weld LEROY R. HAFEN The first Secretary of Colorado Territory and the man who designed the official Seal of Colorado is a rather shadowy char­ acter in the history of the state. The name of this man, Lewis Ledyard Weld, was given to one of our largest conn ties and was applied to the Civil \Var post established near Denver in 1861. But Secretary Weld left Colorado in 1863 and died two years later as a Union officer in the war between the states. 'l'oday he is hardly known in the state he served. It has taken no little searching to gather the fragments for the brief biographical sketch presented here. Lewis Ledyard Weld, the third son of Lewis Weld and l\fary A. (Cogswell) Weld, was born at Hartford, Connecticut, May 1 13, 1833 • On his mother's side he was related to the famous explorer and traveler, John Ledyard, 2 hence his middle name. Young Lewis attended Yale College and graduated in the class of 1854.3 From October, 1854, to June, 1855, he served as a private tutor in Burlington, New Jersey. He taught school in Cleveland, Ohio, from Ju)y to December, 1855, and at the same time began the study of law in the office of Hiram Griswold. This study he continued in New York City in 1856 and 1857, spending part of 1 F rom '"Personal Statistics, Class of 1854" (Yale University Library), copy s upplied by Anne S.

As its title indicates, it is simply a Supplement to the General Register published in 1902. The Committee ap- pointed by the Council began its work immediately on its appointment in the hope that the work would be finished and the book distributed among the State Societies by early summer ; a hope that has not been realized because of long delays on the part of a few State Secretaries in transmitting to the Committee desired information. Indeed, the first half of the last month of summer had passed before all of the reports had been received. A supplement is in many respects an uninteresting and unsatisfactory book to edit; but the Committee trusts that the volume it now places in the hands of the members of the Society will meet the object sought in the action of the Council, viz. : to furnish the names of those who have joined the Society since the Register was issued, together with accompanying genealogical data. An alphabetical list of all members of the Society, July 1, 1906, will, it is thought, give additional interest and value to the book.
