Mr. Frank Strong Pago #3 October 26, 1946 Supervisor in controlling the flow. While we shall continue our interest in water conservation throughout the Lae Vegas Valley, I believe we should devote our specific attention to interference with our supply from drilling in the immediate neighborhood of our holdings* that le the reason 1 offered you the solution in the Searles ease* as unquestionably we will be required to furnish hla domestic water anyway if he develops his tract along the lines shown in the print 1 sent you* There is a definite trend In this locality toward rancho typo homes, with an acre or two adjoining. The owner of such a plot must obtain his water from one of two sources; either from us or from a well. Experience has shown that these student ranchers cannot raise alfalfa and other crops at a profit. However, if he has gone to the expense of drilling a well, he will keep trying. So, it would be a good policy for us to furnish such tracts in the vicinity of our lines, with domestic water only, until such time ae the present' " meter'law is"amended, and then the supply can be protected by meters. General Attorney McMamee is writing you regarding the legal aspects and we will be glad to further discuss this important subject with you on your next trip out here. m T O T R ; ’m k c m cc: Hr.
