REPORT OF OVERSEER.
To the Superintendents Of the Iowa County Home

GENTLEMEN IL have the pleasure to present
my annual report of the Iowa County Home for
the year ending June 30th. A. ID. 1904
Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1904-05-14

Mr.. Rickey's earnest desire that a
speedy and equitable adjustment
of all the water rights on the
Walker Rivers be arrived at. That
it is his earnest desire that every
one be treated as nearly as posi-
BILE exactly alike. He has taken
the initiative and instructed us as
his attorneys to prepare contract
of settlement ALONG THESE LINES.
We have given several weeks of
close work to the preparation of
such contract and have submit
ted it to most of the attorneys of
the other parties. We have list
ened to their suggestions and OBJ
jections and have had the same
taken down verbatim that we
might get them exact.
In the light of and in conform
ity with these suggestions and OBJ
jections we are now about to re-
wise and prepare anew this con-
tract. This revised contract, as
soon as it is prepared, will be sub
mitted to all parties in interest.
AS an attorney for Mr.. Hickey l
give you my assurance that in the
preparation of this revised con-
tract we shall do all in our power
to follow his instructions and draw
up a contract that will be fair alike
to all; that will favor the interests
of no man or set of men, and that
discriminate against no person.
All we ask is that if this second
product of ourefforts be not en-
tirely satisfactory to all or any of
the users of water on the Walker
Rivers, that they or he take not
that as a sufficient reason for
calling all negotiations off. Let
them come forward rather and
state in plain terms to what they
object and what they desire. Let
us see if we may not agree where
we may appear to disagree. Let
the other water users as well as
Mr.. Hickey direct their attorneys
to prepare contracts for the settle
ment of these complicated ques-
tons and let us take hold of those.
If we accomplish our purpose
great patience and forbearance
must be exercised by all and more
than one must work toward the
attainance of that end.
Trusting the importance of this
subject will sufficiently excuse
the length of this communication,
l am,
Very respectfully,
