They have Tract 6986, a subdivision, almost ready to go and learned they have to have more water stock to go with the land in order to have District water served to their tract to proceed with their developments. They have 9 shares of North Fork and 36 shares of Bear Valley and 8 shares of West Highland Water Company stock. According to District's formula for determining the water stock needed to serve water to this 15.99 acre tract, they are short 96 shares of Bear Valley or 19 shares of North Fork. They have been unable to find any stock to purchase and their plans have gone too far and too much money has been spent 674 Sept. lO~ 1963 to cancel the development.
