Los Angeles, October 16, 1952 80-12 Mr. W. R. Rouse: Please refer to your letter of October 13, 1952, con­cerning possibility of qualifying The Union Land Company to do business in the States of Nevada and California. Since that letter was written, X have had conversa­tions with Mr. Bennewitz which indicate that you may give up the idea of qualifying The Union Land Company and trans­fer the real properties now owned by Las Vegas Land and Water Company to the LA&SL instead. I have asked Mr. Calvin M. Cory to reply to your let­ter for the State of Nevada, but he may have left for Washington prior to receiving my request to do so. If you still desire to consider The Union Land Company, I will investigate the Nevada law myself and advise you. I have written to the Secretary of State of Califor­nia to ascertain if The Union Land Company would be a cor­porate name in conflict with any name now reserved for use or used by a domestic or foreign corporation doing busi­ness in this state. If the idea of using this company has not been given up, I can reserve the name, if not in con­flict with existing names, for a period of 30 days by a payment of a |2 fee to the Secretary of State. I will not do this until I hear further from you. To qualify in California a foreign corporation must file with the Secretary of State a copy of its Articles of Incorporation and all amendments thereto which have been duly certified by the Secretary of State of the state of incorporation or other appropriate officer in that state. A fee of flOO is charged by our Secretary of State for fil­ing the Articles. Copies of the Articles so filed with the California Secretary of State and certified to by him must be filed with the County Clerk in each county in which the corpo­ration owns real property and in the county in which its principal office is located*
