Los Angeles, September 24, 1954 1 Mr. Wm. Reinhardt: In connection with the construction work let for bid by the Las Vegas Valley Water District I talked to Mr.Ren- shaw. He told me that the contract for installation was let to the Eisher Construction Company, of Phoenix, Ariz­ona, for a total price of $599#310j the pipe contracts were let (l) to the Southern Pipe & Casing Company, of Azusa, California, for $704,722 and (2) to the United Concrete Pipe Corporation for $465,450. These contracts cover the pipe line from Manganese down as well as the relocation of the pipe lines through our property. In connection with the request of the School Board for release of our water reservation he stated that he had talked to Mr. Gray, of the Board, and Mr. Gray stat­ed that they were Just exploring various possibilities and that they did not want to drill the well and very probably would build the line for $12,000. The School Board is still worrying about the use of that line by other people, and Mr. Renshaw is working out a deal with them along that line. Apparently this matter will die on the vine as far as we are concerned. E. E. Bennett EEBjMSB
