In accordance with recommendation made above for service to additions and subdivisions, i t would be necessary to revise agreement with Boulder Dam Syndicate and the policy of permitting outside companies to develop extensions under suitable contract with Water Company without expense to the la tte r appears to have approval ; of Omaha office.,. In connection with securing increased rates, we do 1 not have actual record o f la te r Company's loss over a period of years; however, we have very good record fo r 19 38 upon which proposed agreement between Bailroad and Water Company is based, but should i t be necessary to substantiate a ll claims in d eta il before Public U t ilit ie s Commission, it would be necessary to use Ifeilroad records covering cost of water f a c ilit ie s , and no doubt these figures w ill be used whenever application is made for increase in rates.
