I M E M 0 R A N D U M Mr. E.C. Renwick: May 22, 1953 In connection with the water contract, attached Is copy of letter dated May 20th written by Leo A. McNamee to Mr. Franklin T. Hamilton, which I have discussed with him. I assume Leo did not have a copy of Exhibit B. I draw your attention to the language on Page 3# Line 3, and Lines 23*26 on Page 2 continuing Line 1, Page 3 of Exhibit B. I think that answers Leo's suggestions. In connection with this (Page 3 of the contract) I wonder if we should not insert after the word "rights" In Line 5# in brackets, the words "except as hereinafter in Sec­tion 2 provided". Subdivision (a) sells all of the water rights of all of the parties and Section 2 excludes certain water rights. I also attach letter dated May 22nd addressed to you from Mr. Bates. I have gone over some of these provisions with him. With respect to Page 6, Item (d-9). Reference to the map would indicate that the Charleston pipe line at the easterly end thereof departs from Charleston Boulevard on to our private property. It may be that we should identify the extremities of that departure and exclude them in an easement. Page 11, Line 18 is self-explanatory as is Page 12, Line 11. Page 13# Line 10 is, I think, as technical as you and Frank could ever get. Page 13# Line 20. It is very possible that this objection would be met by the omnibus provisions of Section 15 on Page 45. Page 14, Line 8. He may have a technical criticism there which I do not think is important except for the explana­tion given by him. r Page 29# Line 6 could be readily added to Section 6 although it would, of course, be covered by the escrow instruc­tions.
