The Board of Directors of the High Plains Underground Water Conservation District for 1969 are shown above. Seated, le
to right, is Mr. Chester Mitchell, Vice President, Lockney; Mr. Russell Bean, President, Lubbock; Mr. Weldon Newsom, Secr
tary-Treasurer, Morton. Standing, left to right, Mr. Ross Goodwin, Muleshoe and Mr. John Douglas Pitman, Hereford.ELECTION RESULTS
The results of the Water District
election were made official after being
canvassed by the Board at the last
Board meeting.
Mr. Ross Goodwin and Mr. John
Douglas Pitman were elected as Dis-
trict Directors.
In each of the thirteen Water Dis-
trict counties, one committeeman was
elected to serve for three-year terms of
office on a five-man county commit-
tee. The County Committeemen ap-
prove well-drilling applications and
attend to the general Water District
business in their particular County.
The Committeemen also serve as ad-
visory groups to the Board of Direc-
tors, expressing the desires of the peo-
ple in their Counties. The terms of
office of the Committeemen are stag-
gered so there is one elected the first
year, two the next, and two are elected
the third year.
The residents of Crosby County
that lived within the area that was to
be annexed, voted to become a part
of the Water District but did not vote
to pay the tax. They wanted to re-
ceive the benefits of being in the Wa-
ter District but they did not want to
pay their share of the expense. Be-
cause of the failure to pass the tax
portion of the election, Crosby County
is not a part of the Water District.
