more to report at the next meeting.

Wheeler in filing the protest. He feels that our situations are too different.
He suggested that we give Mt. Wheeler any other support we can.
MANAGERS REPORT
Mr. Cattan reported to the Board that the Olympic Heights job has been completed.
He said that he is in the process of preparing a resolution that would limit the
time of year when the P.U.D. would dig holes for poles or underground lines. Each
contractor beginning a new project would be informed that the digging must take place
before November or after February. D. Anderson suggested that the District allow
some latitude. He said that perhaps we could have the contractors start the digging
or show them where the holes are needed. Mr. Cattan said that he would study this
and that the Board would review it again in March or April.
Lakeworld Water---The pumping from Donner Lake will not be completed until next-
January and the District will provide the water for Lakeworld up to April 1973.
Mr. Cattan explained that they eill not need a large amount of water and that
the District will not be filling the 1/2 million gallon tanks. This summer
Lakeworld will pay for the power and the maintence of the booster pumps. Mr.
Cattan also explained that the electrical and water usage in this area is
strictly a weekend usage. Very little service is used from Sunday to Thursday.
