Mr. Denney and Mr. Castle of the Denney Logging Co. appeared before the Board and discussed the matter of the expenses involved in connection with moving the 82 4 60, 000 volt service line at their planning mill site. It was their contention that this line was to serve new customers and therefore should be relocated at the expense of the District.

Letters were read under date of June 17th from the District to the Contractors State License Board and under date of June 19th from the License Board to the District, relative to a complaint registered with the Board by Mr. A B Cook of Truckee, regarding the operations of the District, and in which it was set forth by the L nense Board that they had no jurisdiction over the District's operations.

Co. to the District relative to a charge of 1% City and County tax which the District had not paid. The Manager explained that he had deducted from several bills the 1% City and County tax charge .because of his belief that such a charge was illegal for purchases for delivery outside of the County of origin. He explained that the question would be submitted to Mr. Chamberlain for further advise. A deed transferring a lot in the Meadow Lake tract to Mr & Mrs. Victor McLane was presented to the Board and a motion was made and carried that the Chairman and Acting —Secretary execute same on behalf of the District. The Manager reported on the progress being made in installing the water and electric lines in the Donner Trail Subdivision, and explained that at a recent meeting of the Board of Supervis6rs...a change in the County Ordinance effecting the roads in this subdivision was issued whereby all trees for the full width of the roads would have to be removed.. This, the Manager explained would change the billing thus far made by G B Lewis in digging the trenches for the District water lines. The Manager reported that up to date no word had been received from the Public Utilities Coma fission over the transfer of the Sanders Water System to the District, and that therefore the billing for the month of June would be made by Mr. Sanders, although the District was furnishing the water._ Director Kaspian suggested that the Manager investigate the possibility of acquiring the necessary ditching machine for the District to do its own trench work. The Manager explained that he had extended service lines to a portion of Gateway Subdivision #2, due to the fact that the subdivider, R Joseph had not provided for water service for these lots and that it was intended —• that the cost of this installation would be,apportioned to the lots benefited. The Electric and Water reports for the month of May as submitted by Auditor White were presented to the Board and after perusal of the same were ordered filed.
