Los Angeles, April 21, 1953 8 0 -1 1 Mr. W, H. Hulsisaer: Mr. Wm. , Reinhardt Mr. W. it* Rouse Mr. W. Perkins Mr. V, w. Smith Mr. W. A. Jurden Mr. R. L. Adamson Mr. G. N. Bates Mr, L. R. Maag) The attorney representing the Las Vegas Valley Wa­ter District in drafting with us the final contract for the sale of the water system at Las Vegas to the Dis­trict has suggested that the contract contain a provi­sion that certain books, maps and records in the posses­sion of the Railroad Companies and the Water Company on the sale date be turned over to the District. Attached is a proposed subparagraph (j) which he suggests be add­ed to Section 1 of the draft of March 16, 1953* The parties to whom copies of this letter are being sent may desire to comment on all of the records request­ed, but 1 call their particular attention to the operat­ing records and the engineering records requested, I have already written to Mr. Sutton concerning the Accounting Department records and Billing Department records. In many respects I believe the request of the Dis­trict is too far-reaching, but I believe the District is entitled to receive certain basic records and copies of others which will enable the District to carry on the op­erations subsequent "to the sale date. I understand that the attorney for the District will have Mr. James M.Mont­gomery* Consulting Engineer for the District, contact Mr* R. L. Adamson for the purpose of discussing the type of engineering and operating information which Mr. Montgom­ery considers essential for the proper operation of the water system at Las Vegas by the District subsequent to the sale date* Will Mr. Hulslzer pleas© advise what original rec­ords in his possession relating to the water production
