The Company wishes to apply for a reservation
of land for installing and maintaining the pipe line described
in the above-mentioned letter. Attached are copies of the Map

of a description of the reservation. The pipe line will follow
approximately the centre of the reservation and sufficient room

In routing the line the company has endeavoured
to avoid cultivated areas. Provision will be made for roads
and pathways by burying the line or providing ramps over it.
Markers are being installed along the centre-line of the reservation.
I would be pleased to go over the proposed route with a representative
of the (government to determine whether or not the reservation
includes any privately owned lands.
i?'rom the coastline north of the village of Jasra
the course of the pipe line will be in a more-or-less straight line
to A1 Khobar, Saudi Arabia.
The Company will be pleased to have the Bahrein

in order that the company may proceed with the preliminary work.
