      Wayne Lemes
          o Presented power company proposal requesting written easement on ditch working
               easement for power company to install power poles. Commissioners did not
               approve of plan as proposed and suggested that power company representative meet
               with commissioners to discuss alternate plans. Mr. Lemes to arrange for meeting,
               possibly Saturday when commissioners make annual ditch walk.
          o Requested transfer of water rights that the Office of the State Engineer has on file
               from Cedar Hill ditch to Graves Atteberry ditch. Commissioners advised Mr.
               Lemes that it probably would not be legal if he in fact, has water rights adjudicated
