    WORK ORDER AUTHORITY FOR EXTENSIONS AND ADDITIONS TO EXISTING PROPERTY Los Angeles & Salt Lake Railroad Company Description of Work: Lay 122' of 8", 1263' of 6", and 1040' of 4" water supply line with neessary valves and provision for lateral lines, incidentally making 8" pipe connection to existing 16" water supply line. Necessity of Work: To provide adequate water supply line in suitable location to serve all industries fronting Main Street and located in what is known as Industrial District Number One. Old leases and leases recently made thru activity incident to Hoover Dam work receive water supply in most cases from City main, which practice is illegal as the entire industrial tract is outside the franchise limits of Water Company. A few later industries are served from Railroad yard lines. Installation of proposed line is designed to permit abandonment of this make-shift arrangement and supply water to existing and future lessees; service to be covered in each case by usual form of water agreement.
