Mr, ferst #a July 31, 1939, At the rat© the oity is growing, I believe we should at this time take steps to develop additional supplies of water to adequately serve the oity during the coming year. The following statement reflects a steady growth In the number of customers, the total number of gallons passing through the master meter, and revenues received frost sals of water only, during the past ten years; Humber of Total Gal-fear Customers !©»« Sold 1939 1193 639,353,100 1930 1397 581,692,500 1931 1590 1933 650,000,000 1301 756,919,000 1933 1837 814,096,600 1934 1883 876,933,039 1935 1836 907,437,363 1936 1935 886,810,608 1937 1394 938,703,963 1938 3063 1,036,143,300 (Mote •a1; General increase in rates (Mote *b*t Decrease account sales to <b) later Revenues #34, 961*5$ 30.360.10 38.005.11 50,887.45 50,865.91 51,690,98 51,664,03 50,643.00 53,396.18 53,310.31 (a) (b) discontinued Hov, 1, 1935, since which date they have been sup:lying their customers from their own well,) During the first six months of 1939 our revenues from water sales were #87,393.07, which should bring the total for the year well over #54,000 and we have over thirty new customers. An accurate statement of the amount of water con­sumed so far this year ie not available, as the master meter was out of order in May and June, but we have made daily measurements of the amount of water in the reservoir each morning since May 30th, which reflects that all of the water being produced from the wells and springs ie being used. I show below the measurements since June 38th, on which date fire destroyed one of the WPA buildings on the West Side, requiring considerable water to save the other buildings in that vicinity, and since which time we have not had a full reservoir;
