172 / The co~ of Senate Bill No. 120 received with your letter is herewith returned. 'Very truly yours, (signed by) DUKE W. DUNBAR Attorney r,enera~ H. Lawrence Hinkley Deputy Attorney General I Regarding Sec. ~ of the Bill. Bond: There is nothing set up as to the form of bond, or the general routing in connection with it. It very apparently does not come under the term~ of our general bond statutes. It appears that the Board would have the final say' on this. Provisions of Administrative Code cites tha~ suitable form and method can be approved by the Board. That is really the substance of No. 1 in mY report. The bond situation v~ll have to be worked out and we will be glad to work with you on this. Regarding question #2 on my report, you cannot regulate drilling outside of a district, but the law apparently requires every driller of any well to be licensed outside or inside. The regulation of . licenses can only be done by rules and regulations applying to wells within the district." Mr. Bailey remarked, "They have to get a permit for every well drilled, whether in a district Or not, is that right?" Mr. Hinkley answered, "I don't think so, will have to study that some more. But you will have to'arra~ge YOlrr licensing of those fellows so they can go ahead with their drilling. Board must set up some kind of a set-up to license them, even though you don't have any districts." Mr. Dille asked, "How is the Board going to assert any discretion in performing underground water basins - what facilities do we have?" Mr. Crawford replied, "We will have to have some tech- nical help on t-hat from geologists and underground water engineers." Mr. Dille asked, "Are we under a:>y compulsion to determine this?" I Mr. Crawford answered, "At the time a district is i'omed we will be under eompulsion. Eventually it will be up to the Board to study ahead of tL~e vmere districts should be located. In otQer word!l' the Board is taking on a whole new line of work."
