Plaintiff in error, The Rio Grande Reservoir and Ditch Company, was awarded certain priorities for 43,565.06 acre feet of water for storage purposes in the Santa Maria reservoir in an adjudication proceeding in Costilla County. At the same time other awards were made to the several defendants in error, all of prior date to that of plaintiff in error.
