Street Ls® Angeles 14, California Vour File 80-li Dear Ed: i ditciittsd your letter of November 8th with the Board ©f Director® of the water District and suggested to therm That while Section 6 of the agree­ment dated June l, 1953, Between the Railroad Company, the Water Company, and the Water District, provided that the property would be conveyed to the District subject to all taxes levied and assessed upon, or properly attributable to* any of said property in the year in which the sale date occurs, it is also provided in said section and in the escrow instructions that ' A ll such taxes, including taxes levied in connection with the assessments upon such property made by the Nevada Tax Commission, shall be pro-rated between the First iarties and the District as of the sale date, etc. “ Inasmuch as the sale date was July l, 1954, at which time one-half of the taxes had been earned and the proration would be fifty-fifty. That the Grantors pay the first and second installments of the 1954 taxes and let the Water District arrange for the satisfaction of the third and fourth installments of said taxes. The District will have to take the matter of relieving the land from the balance of the 1954 taxes, up with the Nevada Tax Commission. My sug­gestion was approved by the Board of Directors. 1 talked to the County Assessor and was advised that no change is made in the assessment roll after the first Monday in April in each year, and that the question of relieving a piece of property belonging to the District from taxation would have to be taken up with the Nevada Tax Commission. If the foregoing is acceptable to the Railroad Company, please advise. Very truly yours. cc C. M, Cory L.. V. Valley Water Dist. iLeo A. McNamee
