Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners January 16th, 1940 Page Two In making measurement® on twenty observation wells In different parts of the valley* We hope that the County Commissioners will soon see fit to levy a small tax as provided for in the 1939 Underground Water Jaw (Chap, 178. Stats. 1939), which would supply money for snob work. In the interim we would like to proceed, as time is essential. If such a plan as outlined herein meets with your approval it would be our idea to obtain the additional services of Harry Jameson, as he is very familiar with this type of work* The time he would put in on this work could be planned so as not to interfere with his present duties with the City* Most respectfully yours, Alfred Merritt Smith State Engineer
