Los Angeles - August 12, 1952 80-12 Mr. Calvin M Coryr In connection with the transfer of the appropriation of Wpll No. 1, I am not quite clear with respect to some statements made in your letters of January 3d and your letter of March 5th. the top paragraph on P^ge 2 that “most water In the Las Vegas Valley area is 'artesian1 water Instead of ‘percolating water'." In your letter of March 5th, you refer to Section 7993.18b, that "a vested right is a water right on underground water acquired from an artesian well or from a definable aquifler prior to March 22, lr13." This Well No. 1 was drilled in 1924 and I am wondering If you feel that the right 2.5 the railroad has to c.f.s. Is a vested right to take water from an artesian well since we did not have that right on March 22, 1913 although we did have It prior to March 25> 1939. I would appreciate an early reply since this matter is "getting hot”. In your letter of January 3d, you state in Hi E. Bennett
