Allocation of water used is based upon meter readings. Charge cannot be made for water, as LVL&WGo* owns the water, except small amount owned by Railroad Company for railroad pur­poses. Railroad owns pipe lines and facilities; therefore, contract is based on use of these facilities, which feature was subject of careful study by Mr. McNamee and myself in 1929. Water Rights Deed Audit &2& conveys from Railroad Company to LVL&WCo. that part of Stewart Ranch located southeasterly of Railroad right of way, but no water rights; therefore, all rights to spring water is retained by Railroad, except h miner's Inches not acquired with ranch when Mr* Clark made original purchase in 1902; however, LVL&W ranch has put spring water to beneficial use. Railroad Company has filed upon 2.5 second feet for rail­road use, while LVL&WCo. has filed upon 2.3 second feet for municipal use and 5.32 second feet for irrigation. Under Contract Audit 7322, the right granted LVL&WCo. to flow water (not exceeding 3500 g.p.m.) through Railroad pipe lines is subordinated to right of Railroad Company to flow its water through the pipe lines.
