directors decided during the course of
the meeting to engage the services of
an expert engineer from Los Angeles
to survey the we'll and to devise the
best way in the circumstances of hand
ling the problem, so that work might
proceed on the well.
That the company might be financed
in these operations and to pay current
bills and take care of other matters
financial, an assessment of $25 per
month for the months of May, June
and July was levied upon all stock
holders of record
The directors elected by the stock
holders are w. B. Coberly, Calipatria;
