Chamber'ain, relative to a proposed ordinance covering water rules, regulations
and rates. His suggestion that an ordinance be drawn covering essential rules
and rates and that other regulations and rules be kept separate and referred to

before any action by the Board.
The Manager reported that at a meeting of the Nevada County Resources Board
the question of filing on some of the water in this area for power purposes
had been discussed and that in view of the contemplated action by Congress on
the Washoe Project, he -had deemed it advisable that the District file on the

Reservoir. He further stated that the hater Resources B oard planned on asking
the Board of Supervisors to file on Prosser Creek and also on the Little Truckee
River for irrigation purposes._. The Board members approved the action taken by
the Manager.

bill to July 11 1955.
