Manager Edmunds reported that due to the excessive use of water by our customers, particularly in the Gateway area, the major portion of the McGlashan spring supply was being diverted to the Gateway reservoir, leaving little if any at times to supply the reservoir of the Forest Service. He stated that the present change in the weather should make the local demand drop sufficiently to keep the supply into the Forest Service reservoir ample from now until next summer when it was agreed that some other steps would have to be taken to supplement the supply furnished to the Forest Service reservoir. It was agreed'',, by Mr. Boehm that the matter should be given further consideration by all concerned to endeavor to insure a reliable supply for the Forest Service. The Manager reported that in the matter of Ferguson Fros. outstand- ing dill, the papers had been sent to the Sheriff_ of Nevada Co. by Attorney Chami-,erlain, attaching, a large Crawler Crane, but that in telephone conversation with Mr. Chamberlain he had advised changing the attachment to some more portable type of eouipment; which the i:anager had done by giving the Sheriff a letter author- izing the attachment of one Ford dump truck. The Board was further advised that Ferguson Bros. had furnished a $11.00.00 bond to cover this attachment and the truck had been released. .7N!' 3 i` ice',' t P'r• The Manager reported that at the request of Mr. R. Joseph that he had furnished a letter covering the terms and conditions under which water would be furnished to Unit #2 of Gateway Park. A copy of the letter dated Sept 5, addressed to the Division of Real Estate was read and contents approved by the Board. The Manager reported on the building of a curb in front of the District's warehouse by the State, due to the building of a new Quarantine Station and stated that there had been some misunder- standing in installing this curbing as he had been promised that it would not be installed if the District would cooperate in moving their main water line along the highway out of the way of ....� drainage lines installed by the Otate. Since this understanding was only verbal, no action could be taken, but he stated that in the matter of moving two of our poles to permit the ".,uilding of new Highway Garages on Burckhalter Ave. he was asking the State for written instructions on the same, to eliminate further mis- understanding as to the payment for the work to -e done. An analysis of the water taken from the drinking fountain in the lot by of the Tal_oe-Forest Hospital as made by Afflecks of Sacra- mento was submitted to the Foard. This analvsi.s showed the water to 'c e pure and free from coliform and to r e good drinking water. The Manager reported that further samples would be sent in from the high School, as well as from the pump house. The Annual Audit report made by Harry M. Strai ne & Sons of Sacramento of the District's finances for the year ending June 30, 1952 were submitted to the Board members and discussed at length. The matter of financing the future operations of tre District was discussed and iy:anager Edmunds reported that 'y.r. Flagg had not been heard from but that there had been some individuals who had indicated an interest in some of the lots that had been surveyed in the section east of the High School, and across from the new checking station. He stated that unless some party showed an interest in the District's entire holdings in the very near future, that he believed the District should start disposing of ,p--smaller parcels so as to bring in some money to help in financing the District. No action was taken by the Board. A coriimunication was read under date of September 8th from Mr. Paul H. Chamberlain relative to the lease to our new office quarters in which he sia.ggest ed a slight change in one of the paragrarhs per- taining to repairs.
