 1634 RECTIFICATION OF THE RIO GRANDE-MEXICO. :FEB. 1, 1933. MinuteNo.lWof In- for Mexico and eighty-eight (88) ternatlonal Boundary - • Commisslon-Contd. per cent for the Uruted States. (12) With reference to the estImates (exhibit number five of the engineers' report) the grand total of six million one hundred six thousand five hundred dollars ($6.106,500) includes certain items in which the Commissioners concur as being non-proratable and properly and practically chargeable to each Government separately. These are: rights-of- way four hundred twelve thou- sand five hundred dollars ($412,- 500), for purchase of private channel rights above Cordova seventy-five thousand dollars ($75,000), segre~ated tracts two hundred sixtV-SIX thousand dol- lars ($266,000), changes in irriga- tion works two hundred twenty- five thousand dollars ($225,000). The total of these items, with twenty per cent overhead and contingencies is one million one hundred seventy-four thousand two hundred dollars ($1.174,200). This amount subtracted from the grand total leaves a proratable total of four million nine hundred thirty-two thousand three hun- dred dollars ($4,932.300). Using twelve per cent (12%) and eighty eight per cent (88%) as the basis of proration Mexico's share of the cost of the 1?roject would be five hundred nmety-one thousand eight hundred seventy-six dollars ($591,876) and that of the United States four million three hundred forty thousand four hundred twenty-four dollars ($4.340,424). (13) On the basis that this report and the engineers' state- ment have been prepared and submitted with the view of gener- ally strai~htening the presen t river locatIon between the Inter- national Dam above El Paso- Juarez and the Box Canyon below Fort Quitman, the question of using the present nver at Fabens or following the boundary route on the south of the San Elizario area is left for later determination. From the data tivo de los costos puede hacerse a raz6n de 12% para Mexico y 88% para los Estados Unidos. (12) En cuanto 0.1 presupuesto contenido en el anexo No.5 del informe de los Ingenieros, los Comisionados juzgan que del total de $6.106,500.00 d6]ares, algunos gastos no deben repartirse a "pro-rata", sino cargarse acado. Gobierno separadamente, por razones de conveniencia practica. Estas partidas son: Derecho de via $412,500.00 d6lares; compra de propiedades particulares dentro del cauce del Rio arriba de C6rdova $75.000 .00 d61ares; terrenos segregados, $266.000 .00 d61ares y cambios en las obras de riego, $225.000 .00 d61ares. EI total de estas partidas, aumentado en un 20% por gastos de adminis- traci6n e imprevistos, es de $1.174,200.00 d61ares, que, dedu- cido del gran total, arroja un total de $4.932,300.00 d61ares que repartido en 10. proporci6n de 12% Y de 88%, resulta que corres- ponderfa a Mexico como partici- pacion en este proyecto, 10. canti- dad de $591.876.00 d6]ares y a los Estados Unidos $4.340,424.00 d61ares. (13) Partiendo de 10. base de que el presento informe y el estudio de los Ingenieros se han preparado y se presentan con 10. Idea de rectificar en general el cauce actual del Rio entre 10. Presa Internacional arriba de Juarez-El Paso y el Caiion de Cajoncitos abajo de Fort Quit- man, se ha dejado para decidirse en el futuro 10. eleccion entre los dos trazos en 10. Isla de San Elizario, es decir, si debe seguirse el cauce actual del Rio que paso. por Fabens 0 si debe llevarse por
