Description
Moapa Valley meeting of the board, although purpose of the meeting is debated. Cutright caption of photo reads: "Signing contract for Boulder Dam with Wix Co., Inc. in Federal Building in Las Vegas. Secretary of the Interior, Ray Lyman Wilbur at far right." A photgrapher at the scene, W.A. Davis, disagrees and says "Cutright caption is incorrect, although he may be correct that man on the right is Wilbur. I believe they signed the agreement for the buyout of St. Thomas. Final Settlement between town next to St. Thomas & Overton. Final settlement between government and Mormon farmers for their land." See Image pho023269, 0123 0169 for another image.
