BBS I * 8 DOCKET 1 2 7 LY1AWCC - \ |M V egas, Nevada November 3 0 th , 1 9 5 1 . Nr. B.B. Bennetts Mr. Wffl. Reinhardt Nr. W.H. Johnson. W M . R. DEC 4 1951 Beplying to your letter o f Jfoveaber 9th, 1 9 5 1 , please 1m advised that it is the customary practice to shew the estimated cost to he incurred la drilling wells ixs the application for a permit to appropriate water. It le also customary to show in the affidavit of completion of work, that at least a certain number of dollars has been expanded therefor, fhle is because the fora prepared by the state engineer contains such a provision, although it is not • statutory requirement. It is my understanding that it is not customary to show the amount expanded few such works in the affidavit of proof of beneficial use. The fora provided by the state engineer contains no such provision nor does the statute require It. Section 79^ HCL sets out the information which must be contained in an application for a permit to appropriate water* One of the requirements is the estimated cost of the proponed works. Section 79*»5 Id. provides that tie'1 information shall be included in a blank form to be prescribed by the state engiaser and supplied to the applicant without charge. section 7952 requires the applicant to furnish Jsroof by verified affidavit of completion of the work set forth in the application, fhe Statute asquint * detailed description of said works as actually constructed, but dees not require that the affidavit contain a statement of either the estimated or actual cost of the works actually constructed. However, the printed form of such affidavits furnished by the state engineer contains a provision that "at least" a certain amount of money has been expended. Section 795*1 requires the holder of a permit to appropriate water to file a statement, within the time prescribed by the state engineer, showing the application of the water to beneficial use. ^statement does not require either the estimated or actual cost of the constructed works. This statement must be furnished under ° a t h . DEC 3 1951 L« C» C,
