w the President of the Chamber of Commerce advised that he would appoint a small committee to cooperate with the State Engineer in strict conservation measures and to investigate, and after study of the entire situation, recommend steps to be taken to bring about a standby supply. As a matter of Information, we secured from Mr. Case data upon the cost and capacity of the B.M.I. water facilities. It develops that the cost of pumping equipment, reservoir, pipe line ana distribution system was $5 ,16 7 With the lake at elevation 12 2 9 , which is the elevation at which storage waters vasteover the spillways, the pumps have a capacity of approximately kk,000,000 gallons per day. At the lowest level which Bureau of Reclamation engineers figure might occur after a protracted drought, or elevation 1050, the capacity would be 3 1 ,000,000 gallons per day. Ihe storage reservoirs have a capacity of 33> *000,000 gallons. I am attaching hereto a copy of the paper which I read before the meeting. Frankgftrong
