Water Controls Voted In Meet Of Officials Here (Continued From Page One) spacing regulation might be reopened at a meeting set Oct. 2 in Hereford was indicated. Methods Are Discussed After passing the regulation for water well permits, the water district representatives found they could not agree on exactly how permits should be county committees or by the mam water district office through its board of directors. A study of well permit enforcement continues. One suggestion was to let the county committees pass on the permits with the prospective well owner having the right of appeal to the water district board of directors, if refused a permit.

Another suggestion discussed for enforcement of water well permits was for the licensing ot water well drillers. Several representatives indicated they wanted log studies of water wells and asked that drillers be required to keep such a log. the data being valuable in the overall water study on the plains. Law Necessary In order that water drillers be licensed by the district, the Texas Legislature would be required to pass a bill to that effect. a representative said.

The discussion in the meeting here Thursday on water well spacing waxed warm and cold and finally it died with more time for study requested. The water well permit regulation was then passed as a stop-gap measure until the details of spacing couM be formulated. The spacing discussion ranged from a 150-yard regulation to one- half mile. Also it was pointed out that there were too many details involved for the water district representatives to bind thsir counties without specific approval. Even the wiih only a "cow, sow and a her." who wants to drill a well has his rights, the representatives agreed.

An imporisnt factor discussed was the difference in magnitude of water-bearing sands among areas within the 13-county district. A spacing regulation good for one might not work in another area, it was pointed out. All representatives agreed that the coming of well spacing was inevitable. Most representatives at the meeting agreed that farmers and well owners tend to trust their own neighbors and not a central agency, far removed. Therefore, I -m i enforcement of water well permits and even spacing will to be done on a "home-rule" basis.

Views Are Given i Here is how representatives I spoke when polled about permits and spacing: Armstrong: "We only have 10 i sections with water. We feel that we do not have enough voice for that reason to say whether or not there will be spacing." Bailey: "We want to take back to our farmers and well owners the recommendations of this meeting "and let them decide whether this county is for or against spacing. We want to go about this the right every man have his say." Lynn: "We are ready for spacing are looking forward to it as a regulatory measure. We expected it when'joining the water district." Potter: "Water well permits are okay. But let us work out spacing locally." Farmer: "Any action will have to be referred to all our men and let them decide.

We hesitate without their specific approval." Proration Opposed Randall: "Needing spacing is not the is what are we going to do about it." Floyd: "Local controlled well spacing is favored. We don'f want proration." Deaf Smith: "Let's act before it is too late and somebody else steps in to run our water control." Hockley: "We are ready for permits and spacing." Lamb; "Farmers are for spacing in their best interests. Leave it to the county committee. We Results Announced In Bailey County Achievement Day MULESHOE, Sept. 18.

Houston Man Speaks The morning session of the water 'district meeting heard talks by Paul Weaver of Houston, a vice president of the Gulf Oil Corporation and water expert; Tom Craig of Amarillo, an -executive of the. Phillips Petroleum Company; W. 0.

Fortenberry of Lubbock, an official of the surface water rights group of his Marvin Shurbert of Petersburg. Weaver asked for sound conservation. He outlined plans for a Water Foundation to be set up by Texas College ss the "best step in Texas toward solving the water problem. He also discussed methods of recharging used in other states, saying that industrial users of water in New York were required to put water back into the ground after use. Craig said that water, like oil and gas, would someday be regulated as a conservation measure expressing the hope that users themselves could work out the problem and not be controlled.

Fortenberry pointed out that South Plains water owners need education, as he did, that the water supply is not in- exhaustable and people should do something about' preserving it as a mandate for rights of future generations. Shurbert reported the data (applicable to water) found in an oil well hole in his sector of the water district. He termed the data as valuable to those interested in water. A luncheon in the Caprock Hotel was spaced between the morning and afternoon sessions of the water meeting here. Andrews Jury Fails To Reach Verdict ANDREWS, Sept.
