Deed of the land sold to the Las Vegas Valley Water District from the Las Vegas Land and Water Company. Notarized by Louis Scholnick in Douglas County, Nebraska on June 3, 1954.

The City of Las Vegas was requesting to borrow six water meters to check their water use. The Las Vegas Land and Water co. did not have any, but Folger recommended purchasing them and then sending them on to Yermo when the city was done with them. Letter has three date stamps: "H.E.D. Dec 1 1949," "E.E.B. Dec 1 1949" and "U.P. R.R. CO. Law Department L.A. Dec 1 1949"

Nobody had brought up the issue of mineral rights during the negotiations for the water district purchase. To do so now would be a mistake. Even if oil was found on the property, the land's location would almost make it impossible to take advantage of.

Consideration of adding a line for fire protection to protect new leases in a new industrial area and how users would be charged.

Letter references two bills, Senator McCarran's correspondence about the bills, and the bills with regard to bids for bonds.

Las Vegas was just entering the hottest part of the year and well No. 1 had dropped off production considerably.
