of continual prrmping from the San Luis Rey wells would cause them to run dry.

interested in selling on a long term basis and suggested that the Board make a firm
offer for the property, in writing, if it is interested in negotiating with him.
Lengthy discussion followed as to terms and price to be offered. The Board felt that
any rent paid should be applied to the down payment.
