On the other hand, if it is desirable to have the Report in­dicate that the major portion of the water produced is used by the inhabitants of I>as Vegas and for railroad purposes, do you see any objection to including the water used or sold by the Railroad Company in the figure reported for the item "Total water sold or metered", this if we report as maximum amount of water available, the total supply produced^ Whatever figures are to be reported, would it not be desirable that any data furnished by the General Manager's or Superintendent's office of the Railroad Company,, be furnished to your office and the oomplete-statistics then furnished to this office by youf such a procedure would insure consistency of the figures furnished and pre­clude any misanderstanding of the figures to be used, as has occurred heretofore. If you agree with this thought, I will be glad to have you make the necessary arrangements with the General Manager*s or Superintendent's office to so handle hereafter. We will show length of transmission mains in future Annual Reports in accordance with figures reported by you. Mr. Perkins' letter to Mr* Adamson of June 12, 1929 showed 230 Lin. Ft. of 16" east iron pipe line to have been installed in 1922, and this figure has alone been reported as length of transmission mains since 1929. In that year the report showed 210 feet’of transmission mains in use first of year which had in previous years been reported as distri­bution mains and wMone* shown under transmission mains. As above
