G. E. Lewis entered the meeting and asked for consideration of having the re-
strictions in his deed relative to the exclusive services of the District being
removed so that the Sierra Pacific Power Co. could serve his area with electric
power. Mr. Lewis was proposing to erect a rock crushing plant at the southwest
corner of his property and he c 1 aimed that the Sierra Pacific Power Co. would
build a line to serve his plant without any cost, provided the restrictions were
removed. It would cost the District approximately $4000. to build a line to serve
his plant, which cost the District would expect Mr. Lewis to pay. After some
furter discussion the Board asked Supt. Barth and 11gr. Edmunds to further investigate
the matter and report to a special meeting of the Board to be called in the next
few days, after which Mr. Lewis would be advised of the Board's decision. Mr. Lewis
then left the meeting.

ing the purchase of a special fire pump to be placed on a piece of equipment
which the Volunteer Fire Dept had themselves purchased for the purpose of using
such equipment in and outside the limits of the Fire District. The amount of
the bill was 370.18. It was moved and carried that as a public service and
benefit the District contribute the amount of the bill and pay the same.
A letter was read under date of June llth from T L Chamberlain, relative to
a letter written asking for advice on connecting up sub -standard electrical
wiring to the District's lines. Mr. T L Chamberlain advised that Mr. Paul
Chamberlain was out of town and as soon as he returned the matter would be
referred to him for consideration.
Director welch brought up the matter of a lot in the Meadow Park Tract in the
name of Albert W. Clayton on which a number of complaints had been personally
received about the unsafe and unsightly conditions on same. It was brought
out that Mr. Clayton had not conformed to the rules and regulations in regards
to building on this lot. The Manager reported that several letters had been
sent to Mr. Clayton in the past asking when building would start and also
advising hire of the dangerous condition of the materials on this lot. It was
moved and carried that Mr. Clayton be returned his advance deposit of $250.
and that he be advised that the District was canceling his agreement covering
the use of this lot and repossessing the same.
The Manager advised the Board that Mr. Hedlund, Sr. of Castro Valley was
interested in obtaining the land that some local interests had intended to
build a trailor court on and that Clarence Osborn, leader in the local interest
had agreed to relinguish any claim to. Mr. Hedlund was expected in town today
