I agree.Supervisor In controlling the flow, while we shall continue our Interest In water conservatIon throughout the Lae Vegos Valley, I believe w© should devote our specific attention to interference with our supply fro© drilling in the inaasdiat© neighborhood of our holdings. That is the reason I offered you the solution in ths ssarles case, as unquestionably we will be required to furnish his dome©tic water anyway if he develops his tract along the lines shown in the print X sent you. There is a definite trend in this locality toward ranch-type hoses, with an acre or two adjoining. The owner of such a plot ©ust obtain his water fro© one of two sources! either fro© us or fro© a well. Experience has shown that these student ranchers cannot raise alfalfa and ethe# crops at a profit. However, if he has gone to the expense of drilling a well, he will keep trying. So, it would be a good policy for us to furnish such tracts in the vicinity of our lines, with domestic water only, until such ti8» a® the present ©eter law is amended, and then the supply can be protected by,meters. {general Attorney MoManec is writing you re nrdlftg the legal aspects and we will be glad to further discuss this Important subject with you on your next trip out here.
