Att: Mrs. Keitha White,
Clerk of the Board.
Dear Mrs. White:
In accordance with my personal conversations with both you
and Mr. David regarding an Oil and Gas Lease on a 100' strip of
abandoned Railroad Patented Right of Way which has reverted to
Weld County by tax default this letter is to request that your
normal proceedure of sealed bidding for County Oil and Gas Leases
be waived in this instance. In our talks we concluded that the
County would fare better financially under this arrangement than
if they would go to all the expense of preparing the bid notices
etc. on such a small amount of acreage.
It is our intention to offer ?100.00 as a bonus consideration
for a five year term lease providing for the normal '1.00 per acre
rentals and 1/8th royalty. For your information we paid 18. )0 per
acre for the leases surrounding this strip for five year terms and
this offer totals 11.1.64 per acre.
You have the complete description of the tract but in general
it lies in the SW/4 SE/4 and SE/14 SE/4I of Section 25-6N-66W and in
the N/2 N/2 NW/4 of Section 31-6N-65W, and totals 8.59 acres, more
or less.
If this meets with your pleasure please advise me as soon as
convenient and I will forward a Cashier's check in the amount of
:100.00 to you as the bonus consideration and you can then prepare
the Oil and Gas Lease to The Colton Company, D-2041 Petroleum Center
San Antonio, Texas and send to this office for further handling.
Thank you for your courtesy to me and your consideration of
our offer.
Your ery t ly,
. A. Patchen
