Mr. Knickerbocker: #2 Oet. 8, 1936 we had but 4 f t . 8 in. of water in our reservoir, and the t e r r ific drain on our resources which accompanied the advent of hot summer days made it appear for a while that we would not be able to supply the demand. Had the Syndicate been securing water from our mains also at that time, it is apparent that we would have been in very serious d iffic u lt y . As it m s, however, we were able to get through the hot months with the sources of supply we had at that time, by appealing to the public through the newspapers to cooperate with us in conservin g the supply, and by putting on a water checker to cut down the excessive waste. In this connection, the figures for the month of September, just now available, re fle c t a decrease of 4,759,759 e u .ft. compared with September 1935, but our revenues remain steady and w ill not take any corresponding drop. fhe marked decrease in number of cubic feet of water sold was due in this instance to cool weather arrivin g in Las Vegas e a rlie r this year than la st. Yours very tru ly,
