IH - y* R. ? ? Los Angeles - Deo. 8, 1952 1-733** Mr. E. E. Bennett - Los Angeles (CC - Mr. Wm. Reinhardt, Los Angeles Mr. W. H. Johnson, Las Vegas) Referring to your letter to Mr. McNamee dated December 5 , 1952, file 80-11, I am enclosing one copy of re­vised draft for bid to be submitted by the Las Vegas Valley Water District to the Union Pacific Railroad Company for purchase of water facilities. I have reviewed the revised draft and find that it agrees with all the matters mentioned in our previous letters and our several conversations. However, I have two items which I now think should be considered: 1 . On Page 2 of the revised draft, mention is made of the water right reserved in a Deed from Helen J. Stewart, et al, to W. A. Clark dated December 8, 1902. The water which the Stewarts reserved for use on the Stewart burial plat is furnished from a pipeline connection to the water main which we con­structed some ten or eleven years ago across the LVL&W property immediately south of the southwest corner of the Stewart burial plat. This pipe is only a 2-inch connection and a few feet long and extends into a box at the southerly edge of the burial plat. In our deed reservation, the LVL&W is obligated to furnish water to the burial plat and I assume that the District, when it purchases our water holdings, will take over this obligation; but I do not see where they have been advised to this effect unless it has been mentioned in some of the conferences you held with the District officials. 2. Page 6 of revised draft of bid, 2nd paragraph, states that the term "shop grounds" is bounded -- - on the west by a line parallel to and 900 feet westerly of said Main Line. Due to the fact the location of the Main Line may be changed, it is my opinion it would be best to say "and 1300 feet westerly of west line of Main Street." R. L. ADAMSON
