cc Mr. A. S. Halsted Los Angeles, February 19, 1929. 085-355 Mr* F. H. Melfamee: With Mr. Balated’s letter to rae May 18, 1927, he submitted a proposed agreement between L A & S L B B O o . and lias Tegas Land and Water Company co Ye ring arrangement whereby the latter corapary secures water at Las Yogas, leva&a, which agreement had been prepared by you. The two originals and sis copies of the document which he sent me are returned to you herewith: the enclosed draft of agreement was prepared, it was decided to hold in abeyance the making of a new contract until we coaid obtain meter readings showing the water consumed by each company, on which to base division of cost.

The extension agreement was duly executed, which, therefore, covered the arrangement to October 1, 1928. Pending farther development respecting the electrical situation, I think the old agreement should be extended for another year, i.e.» to October 1, 1929, insofar as furnishing of electricity is concerned. As I question the advisability of making the new water agreement retroactive, I As I advised you in my letter June 10, 1927, after I shall appreciate it if you will kindly have the In this connection you sent me October 12, 1927 an
