I agree.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.
