FORM 2191-B-THIN 1Z-46-5QOM U N I O N P A C I F I C R A I L R O A D C O M P A N Y M TELEGRAM I953 APR 8 PM I2 A i LOS ANGELES 4/8/53 ORIG WRR - OHARA CYS PJL * OMAHA WR - LOS ANGELES ADH * SALT YOUR MAILGRAM MARCH 31ST PILE 2180 REQUESTING ME ARRANGE FOR TRANSFER OP LA&SL WATER APPROPRIATION 2.5 CPS PROM WELL NUMBER ONE TO WELL IN SHOP GROUNDS. WILL ASK CORY TO PROGRESS THIS TRANSFER BUT IT IS MY OPINION THAT TRANSFER SHOULD NOT BE COMPLETED UNTIL RAILROAD STORAGE FACILITIES AND PIPE LINE FACILITIES IN SHOP GROUNDS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED. SEE ITEM ONE OUR CONFERENCE MEMORANDUM AT OMAHA DECEMBER 16 1952 THAT TRANSFER OF APPROPRIATION IS INCIDENTAL TO IMPROVEMENT OP RAILROAD WATER FACILITIES IN SHOP GROUNDS. WORK ORDER AUTHORITY TO COMMENCE SUCH WORK NOT YET RECEIVED BY DIVISION OFFICE LOS ANGELES. I THINK IT IS IMPERATIVE SUCH AUTHORITY BE ISSUED AT ONCE IN VIEW OF APPROVAL OF EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE FOR TRANSFER OF PRODUCTION FACILITIES TO LVL&W. WHEN PRODUCTION FACILITIES ARE TRANSFERRED TO LVL&W RAILROAD WILL HAVE TO SECURE WATER FROM LVL&W UNTIL ITS FACILITIES IN SHOP GROUNDS ARE IN SHAPE TO FURNISH WATER FROM SHOP WELL. IF RAILROAD RETAINS WATER APPROPRIATION ON WELL NUMBER ONE DURING THIS INTERIM PERIOD I BELIEVE RAILROAD COULD MAKE AGREEMENT WITH LVL&W SIMILAR TO UP AUDIT NUMBER 74531 FOR LVL&W TO DELIVER WATER TO RAILROAD ON CONTRACT BASIS. HOWEVER IF WATER APPROPRIATION TRANSFERRED PRIOR TO TIME RAILROAD FACILITIES IN SHOP GROUNDS ARE READY TO FURNISH WATER RAILROAD WOULD HAVE TO BUY WATER FROM LVL&W UNDER PUBLIC.UTILITY RATES WHICH I CONSIDER UNDESIRABLE. IF YOU AGREE WILL YOU RECOMMEND THAT WORK ORDER AUTHORITY FOR IMPROVEMENTS IN SHOP GROUNDS BE ISSUED PROMPTLY. LAKE VWS - LOS ANGELES CMC - LAS VEGAS WM. R. APR 6 1953 B-35 E E B
