Los Angeles, August 26, 1930. 353-24 Mr. W. R. Bracken: Referring to your letter August 22, file R-18, with which you enclosed letter of Mrs. J. A. Lyite, Overton, Nevada, requesting that she be furnished drink-ing water: We recently arranged to supply water for drinking purposes from our water car operating on the St. Thomas Branch, at a charge of $3.80 per thousand gallons, the amount of water to be secured at one time to be worked out between the conductor and the purchaser. The arrange-ment is being handled through the agent at Moapa to the extent possible, and I therefore suggest you write Mrs. Lyite asking her to take up with the agent at Moapa, or it may be that she can make satisfactory arrangement locally with the conductor.
