Los Angeles, January 10, 1955 Mr. B. L. Adamson: (cc - Mr. E. E. Bennett - Los Angeles Mr. C. M. Cory • Las Vegas) Refer to Mr. E. E. Bennett's letter to you dated Dec. 29, 1951*, relative to conference with Mr. Thorne, State Water Engineer at Las Vegas regarding transfer of 2.5 C.F.S. of water from Well #1 to Shop Well at Las Vegas. In accordance with your request, I attended a conference in the office of Mr. Thorne, State Water Engineer at Las Vegas, in Boom 212 of State Building (phone L.V. 765U) at which Mr. Cory, Mi*. T h o m e , Mr. Winchester of Mr. Shamberger*s office, and myself were present. As you know, the entire appropriation of 2.5 C.F.S. had already been transferred from Well $1 to the Shop Well tinder Application Ho. 15U*0 which was approved by State Engineer Shamberger on June 8, 195U* However, "Proof of Commencement of Work" tinder this application number was not filed until Dec. 30, 195ii» but in the meantime application Ho. 1575U for transfer of lJt C.F.S. of the 2.5 C.F.S., which had already been transferred to the Shop Well, was made and apparently the State office became confused because they had no evidenoe that the actual transfer of 2.50 C.F.S. to the Shop Well had ever been made since the "Proof of Commencement of Work" under application Ho. 1511*0 had not been filed at the time application Ho. 1575U was received. Mr. Cory advised the State Engineers present that the "Proof of Commencement of Work" under application Ho. 1511*0 has now been filed and they both agreed that when this fact, together with Mr. Cory's explanation of of the whole situation, is presented to the State Engineers at Carson City that application Ho. 1575U can be approved without further delay which will enable the Railroad Company to proceed with the drilling of the new well in Shop Grounds. I I explained to Mr. T h o m e that this matter la urgent and was assured that every effort would be made to expedite the matter. L.R.M.
