' ’ It i- ...Water - San Bernardino... / 7 a--' Los Angeles, April 18, 1922. UR. HALSTED; por convenience I am enclosing you my entire file with reference to the adjustment of our account with the Santa Fe to cover water supply at San Bernardino: You, will observe that I have exchanged a number of letters with Mr. Hibbard hoping to secure his agreement to adjust upon proximately the basis which Mr. Perkins* investigation seems to indicate we are entitled to obtain, but Santa Fe people seem to maintain that when Mr. Hutt agreed to a basis for charges in 1917 and early in 1918, we estopped ourselves from maintaining a claim for adjustment, prior to that time on the basis for which we are now contending. The Santa Fe seer^Vnclined to meet us in conference, and I presume that our sole remedy now is arbitration. I would like you to review the file and advise me whether you feel we are justified in demanding arbitration of the disputed item. There is a large amount of correspondence in the file, and it may be that you will find it more convenient who has all the details in mind. E n e l . S-F to talk the situation over with Mr. Perkins
