MINUTES OF MEETING OF COMMITTEE SELECTED 'TO CONSIDER QUESTION OF RAILROAD COMPANY OBTAINING ITS SUPPLY OF WATER FOR RAILROAD FACILITIES AT LAS VEGAS* NEVADA, BY USING SHOP WELL. This committee met at Las Vegas, Nevada, March 4th, 1952, with the following presents Ao Bybee, Assistant Superintendent, Las Vegas, Nevada. Calvin Cory,'General Attorney, Las Vegas, Nevada. P. G. Martin', Division Engineer, Los Angeles. L. W. Ashton, Bridge Inspector, Omaha'. L. R. Maag, Asst, Industrial Engineer, Los Angeles. J. M. Anderson, General Water Service Foreman,Los Angeles. R. L. Adamson, Industrial Engineer, Los Angeles. J. O’Bryan,'District Foreman, Mechanical Dept., La® Vega®. A. J. Scott, Plant Manager, PFE Company, Las Vegas. 1. /Mr. Calvin Cory will investigate the question as to whether the LA&SL Railroad Company has a'vested right in the 2.5 CF3 in Well No. 1 in the water field, and therefore could require transfer of such Water right t© a new location. In any event, committee is of the opinion that effort should be made to transfer entire 2.5 GFS to shop well, and doe® not feel that Railroad Company should relinquish any of its water rights. 2. Committee proposes,to start work as quickly as Soasibl® in oleanlng out shop well and increasing'its flow. t is our opinion that wall, when pumped steadily, particularly, in summer season, will produce only 180 GPM in its present condition. Committee further believes that railroad facilities, including the railroad rooming house and PFE, will require a production, of approximately 220 GPM. Therefore, we will re« condition this well so as to definitely determine amount of production which ean be obtained from it. In ©vent PFE obtains its water from the LVL&W Company or the Las Vegas Valley Water District, then the amount of water required to serve railroad facilities, including rooming house, is approximately 157 GPM. These figures exclude requirements for all industries now served by Railroad Company. After reconditioning and test of shop well, layout and facilities required will b© determined and estimate of cost prepared, and further report made.
