There is one matter which should be brought to your * attention before the escrow is opened. Under the provisions of the District Act and the resolution issuing bonds of the D i s ­trict, all deposits of District moneys in banks must be secured for the benefit of the District b y the deposit of certain securi­ties in escrow in a bank other than the depositary. Accordingly, at such time as the moneys are paid into your Bank for the escrow, it will be necessary for yo u r Bank to secure said deposits by placing certain securities in escrow. We suggest that with respect to the arrangements to be made you contact Mr, Campbell, President of the District, and he should be able to advise you concerning the matter. In the event that you are unable to contact Mr. Campbell, we suggest that you discuss the matter with Spence Butterfield with respect to similar arrangements which have been made with the Bank of Nevada concern­ing the deposit of District moneys made in that Bank. Ve r y truly yours, 0 ‘MELVENY & MYERS B y F T H t gv Franklin T » Haml lton cc: Edward C. Renwick, Esq, Assistant General Solicitor /Union Pacific Railroad Company J k r , Thomas A.
