Los Angeles, Feb. 7» titll JPM - Los Angeles We have authority for an additional water well at Las Vegas. As soon as WPB approval secured will proceed to drill, and upon receipt of pipe will construct pipe line by contract, the latter upon understanding that mtee forces are not available for this work. Am arranging with McNeil whose representative at LV is Vio Kunkel, PO Box 2023, to proceed at once with oonstn of concrete fdn for the well and derrick footings, involving a small yardage of conorete. I noticed on my last trip to LV that spillways from our m easu rin g weirs have eroded badly and are undermining the weirs and Should be Immediately repaired. M cNeil will use transit mix, and after he pours foundation can run the transit mix up to these various weir boxes and wheelbarrow concrete over to make these needed repairs. Am unable to get out there to show Kunkel Just where work is to be done and will appreciate if in next two or three days you can arrange for Mel Anderson to contact Kunkel and show him what we want to do and how we want repairs made at each weir box so he can compute total yardage required and order accord­ingly. Kunkel will furnish man or two to trowel the conorete to spillway shape in accordance with JMA's instns. 3-47 FS CC - Mr. Vic Kunkel, P. 0. Box 2023, Las Vegas, Nevada ?£WB H? 31 945'
