number, name of ditch, name of stream, name of appropriator, post- 

 oflice address, date of appropriation, use to which water is ai)i)hed, 

 amount appropriated in cubic feet per second, number of acres irri- 

 gated, and description of lands irrigated. If any changes are made 

 by the })oard in its final adjudication, they are ])ut on these original 

 sheets in red ink. These are bound in books and form the records of 

 adjudicated rights. Certificates are made out by the secretary from 

 these tabulations. These are in books with dui)licates, one copy 

 being sent to the appropriator and the other retained in the form of a 

 stub. The certificate has on it the book and page containing the stub. 

 The secretary of the board keeps also a card index showing the 

 status of rights under permit (see p. 31) for use of the superintendents 

 in taking proof on such riglits. He also prepares tabulations of all 

 rights for use by the water commissioner in distributing water. 

 These are made out by streams and show the permit number, the gen- 

 eral priority, stream priority, name of ditch, name of appropriator, 

 amount appropriated, and number of acres.
