    Please refer to your copy of Mr. Prank Strong’s letter of April 6 , 1948, to Superintendent Weagert relative to proposed use of transits pipe and fittings for repairs or Installation in the water lines owned by the Las Vegas Land A Voter Company. For your Information I aw attaching a copy of letter received fro® Mr. H, B. Heyn, Manager, Industrial Pro** ducts Division, Johns-Manville Corporation. Mr. Heyn and Mr. Hitehoook ©ailed on me at Los Angeles last week, and advised that they are not permitted to bill on transit© pipe for use by the L.V.L.A V. Co. The Union Paoifie has reeeived favorable service from transit® pipe, and we consider It comparable with east iron pipe except at such locations as railroad crossings and other selected locations. In general this pipe Is much more econom­ical to Install than cast Iron pipe, and the service It has performed to this date is entirely satisfactory. In view of the fact that Johns-Manville Is a good patron of the U.P., and that transite pipe Is used by many municipalities in California, and elsewhere, as shown on attached statements, I am wondering If you would desire to amend the in­structions contained in Mr. Strong’s letter of April 6 , 1948.
