Morrison Assistant Weld County Attomey P.O. Box 1948 Greeley, Colorado 80632 Re: Oil and Gas Lease SW/4 of Sec. 33-9N-65W Weld County, Colorado Dear Mr. Morrison: I am in receipt of your letter of July 8, 1991 to Mr. Bill Watson regarding the oil and gas lease covering the captioned lands. We have requested, on behalf of Polaris the return of the bonus monies paid due to the fact that Weld County owns no interests in the minerals. I am appalled at your stance regarding the warranty provision. It has always been my belief that an Attorney stood for honesty and integrity, it has also been my belief that elected officials should be the same. The attitude you expressed in the above mentioned letter seems to indicate your point of view of "Buyer Beware", in other words Weld County could put up the Brooklyn Bridge for sale and if anyone is stupid enough to buy it you keep the money, of which you know is very, very illegal regardless of any wording of any contract. Therefore on behalf of Polaris we respectfully request that you and the County Commissioners give serious consideration to the refunding of bonus monies paid for the oil and gas lease covering the referenced lands.

I understand you will be requesting a refund of - bonus payments previously made to the County on behalf of the appropriate parties.

It has been called to Weld County ' s attention by Union Pacific Resources that it is their opinion that they continue to hold ownership in all the minerals , including oil and gas . :'v review of the records do not give me a basis to dispute Union Pacific Resources ' contentions . The Treasurer' s Deed dated May 23 , 1938 , at Book 1026 , page 327 , from the Weld County Treasurer to the Board of County Commissioners excludes all Union Pacific Railroad Company reservations .
