Destruction left behind after fire near Colorado River and Hoover Dam at government-created town of Williamsville, nicknamed "Ragtown," 1931. News article included with the image reads: ""BLAZE AT DAM CONSUMES SIX HOMES TODAY -- Six families at the river landing are without homes and belongings as a result of a brush fire which started about 10 o'clock this morning. While the fire was soon under control the flames during the blaze were at times 50 feet high, fanned by a high wind which rushed down the canyon. Sergeat Clyatt, a one time cook at a military school in the east, who had a bakeshop at the landing, was also burned out, but as he still had his oven, and he had his dough ready for baking, he established a relief station immediately and at last reports was serving bread and coffee to the homeless families. -- LAS VEGAS EVENING REVIEW JOURNAL, March 28, 1931, p. 1, col. 6.""

Moapa Valley meeting of the board, although purpose of the meeting is debated. Cutright caption of photo reads: "Signing contract for Boulder Dam with Wix Co., Inc. in Federal Building in Las Vegas. Secretary of the Interior, Ray Lyman Wilbur at far right." A photgrapher at the scene, W.A. Davis, disagrees and says "Cutright caption is incorrect, although he may be correct that man on the right is Wilbur. I believe they signed the agreement for the buyout of St. Thomas. Final Settlement between town next to St. Thomas & Overton. Final settlement between government and Mormon farmers for their land." See Image pho023269, 0123 0169 for another image.
