Los Angeles - August 12, 1952 80-12 Mr. Calvin M Coryr In connection with the transfer of the appropriation of Wpll No. 1, I am not quite clear with respect to some statements made in your letters of January 3d and your letter of March 5th. the top paragraph on P^ge 2 that “most water In the Las Vegas Valley area is 'artesian1 water Instead of ‘per­colating water'." In your letter of March 5th, you refer to Section 7993.18b, that "a vested right is a water right on underground water acquired from an artesian well or from a definable aquifler prior to March 22, lr13."

Is a vested right to take water from an artesian well since we did not have that right on March 22, 1913 although we did have It prior to March 25> 1939. I would appreciate an early reply since this matter is "getting hot”. In your letter of January 3d, you state in Hi E. Bennett
