Rouse: Los Angeles, August 29, 1952 S o - 8 Referring to your letter of August 27th, your file 2180, requesting my views on the proposal of the Las Vegas Valley Water District dated August 25, 1952, to purchase the water properties at Las Vegas: Initially I will stats that I prepared a letter for,Mr. Reinhardtfs signature acknowledging receipt of the proposal and stating it would be given further consideration, also stating that it would prob­ably require ,. .? /NH some clarif.? ication. ,I | ? | Referring now specifically to the lettered paragraphs of the proposal, paragraphs (a) and (b) refer to the acquisition of land ”and the appurtenances there­unto belonging” and to the acquisition of water rights.

We are endeavoring to ascertain the amount
