McNamee & McNamee ATTORNEYS AT LAW EL PORTAL BUILDING Las Vegas,Nevada June 16, 1950 Mr. E. E. Bennett General Solicitor, Union Pacific Railroad Company k22 West Sixth Street Los Angeles, California Dear Ed: The local Water District desires to retain me as its Counsel in legal matters. I understand that the District contemplates negotiations with Las Vegas Land and Water Company with a view of taking over its water system, water rights, etc., at Las Vegas. I do not know what its plans are, but I informed Colonel C l ark that I' w o uld be disqualified in' case there~ari a n y ' TiTigaTi’ons such as condemnation proceedings, etc., between the Water District and Las Vegas Land and Water Company, or the Railroad Company. I am writing this to ascertain whether I should accept a retainer from the District, provided I would not represent it in case of litigation as above mentioned, though I would probably be asked to pass upon any contracts that may be entered into and perhaps participate in negotiations between the Land and Water Company and the Water District.
