WHEREAS, the Central Utah Project, involving the waters of the
Colorado River, is the only substantial means by which the State of
Utah and its inhabitants can divert and put to beneficial use that
portion of the waters of said river that has been allotted to the State
of Utah and thus be able to preserve and utilize its rights to said
waters; and,
WHEREAS, said waters constitute the last major source of water
available for use in Utah and the whole future economy of the State is
dependent upon the full utilization of the water available through said
project; and,
WHEREAS, expeditious completion of said project is of vital
necessity to the State of Utah and its inhabitants to supply the water
needed to fully develop the State's resources and sustain its rapidly
increasing population:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS OF
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, that it does hereby petition the Congress of the
United States to appropriate sufficient funds to construct as expedi-
tiously as possible the first phase, commonly known as the Bonneville
