G. Martin, Attorney for Lincoln County Power District No, 1 at Pioche, concerning purchase of water. It occurs to me we might raise the question as to whether other users of water have had meters installed for measuring water, in view of the Rate schedule which evidently provides flat rates. It appears the Power District arbitrarily installed a meter to measure water used by the Railroad, when we could as easily be assessed the flat rates for Residences (Section and Agent) and pay the 50/ per M charge for water used at the Stockyard and/or Water Tank. No doubt the reason the Railroad is metered and charged at 50/ per M is because the four connections fromwhich water is taken do not fall in a particular category set up on the Schedule of Rates, If meters were installed at all the Power District’s water connections, the various flat rates on the Schedule would of course not be necessary, j/ 0. A. CTO*IHQHAM.
