(COPY OF A COPY) ? Omaha - September 16, 1952 2lSO Mr. A. E. Stoddard: (CC - Mr. W. H. Hulsizer) Referring to your joint letter of August 2Sth to Mr. Hulsizer and m® asking for our comments on the offer made by the Las Vegas Valley Water District for the purchase of our water producing and distributing facilities at Las Vegas, and also to Mr. Hulsizer’s reply to you of September 2nd with copy to me. I have been in correspondence with Mr. Bennett on this^subject and this letter is written with the expression of his views before me. My comments below follow the sequence of the Water District’s proposal. (a) and (b). These two paragraphs cover the 507 acres of water bearing land, together with improvements and appurtenance and all water and rights to water arising upon or flowing from such acreage. If we are to transfer the LA&SL’s 2.5 C.F.S. in Well No. 1 to the shop well, then these paragraphs (a) and (b) will have to be amended. In this connection it may be necessary to drill an additional shop well if the present one is insufficient or fails and that right should be reserved. Mr. Bennett and Mr. Cory, our Nevada General Attorney, met informally on September 4th with Mr. McNamee, attorney for the Water .District and Mr. Spencer L. Butterfield, Vice President and a Director of the District. Mr. Campbell, President of the District, was out of the city. Neither of the District's representatives had any objection to an amendment of the offer sojthat what we desire to accomplish as above noted may be carried out. (c) and(d). These paragraphs have to do with rights of way for pipe lines and power lines. Mr. Reinhardt and Mr. Bennett worked out a draft of contract to provide in substance for the early removal of power lines and certain minor pipe lines from property not acquired by the District and further providing for removal by the Union Pacific or the District of two main transmission lines which bisect some four sections of our property. In the meeting with the representatives of the District on September 4th Mr. Bennett then discussed with representatives of the District the draft of contract which had been prepared. In general, says
