Dear Sir:
Linclosod please find two copiee of sketch showing right of way
for road and pipelines from refinery site to Sitra Terminal which we
are reserving under rights granted in -rticles I and II of the lining
Lease dated December 29* 1934.
Following is the description of the centerline of the eighty
foot wide strip of land* lying equally on either side of the line ’ here
inafter described# and eartending from the refinery to Siire Loading
Terminal. Said centerline is more particularly described as follows:
Beginning at a point in the Faaterlyline of refinery, from
which point the highest point of Jebel Lukhen bears south ;55°b3 *
s.est 33596 feet
thence ftorth 60° 00* Ffcst 5.5 feet;
thence North 42° 50* East 7563 feet to
a point from which a prominent corner in a long stone wall
marking the easterly line of the village of l^alamir bears
approximately North 58° 23’ West 2074 feet* mare or less;
thence North 41° 30* -est 3757 feet;
thence approximately North 26° 16* West#
60 * more or less* to a point in the southeasterly line of
Sitra Loading; Temninal. from which point the center of an
existing steel tank known as No.85-3 bears North 4° 28* East
185 feet.
It appears that this right of way crosses two private properties.
Will you please advise if privately owned so we any take the necessay
steps under paragraph 3 Article II of the Mining Lease.
The first pipeline j (1-16 and 1-12 inches in diameter for oil)
will cross the Tidal channel on a trestle. This channel is not navigable
at high tide* by any craft except skiffs* and we understand is not used by
the people of Malamir. Jnother 12 H line for water will be laidwater
wells near Nfelmlr to light of Way and thenoe to definery.
An early answer will bo appreciated as it is essential to start
work at the earliest possible moment.
Yours very truly.
