Las Vegas - December lo, 1948 W 23-1-51 Mr* L* A* White: Your letter December 6th, file BD 9-2-4, re­garding Work Order charges: The amounts credited to accounts recoileotible under Work Orders 593. 594, 595 and 606 covering material used in the setting of fire hydrants were billed against the City of Las Vegas, and I am today advised check to cover will be received in December accounts. With regard to including estimate of these charges in future Work Orders, we will do so whenever possible. However, these charges cannot in all cases be anticipated because the Fire Chief occasionally orders fire hydrants installed after installation of pipe line is in progress. With reference to Work Order 608, installation of water mains to serve Crestwood Homes, the original plan was for the LVL&W Company to furnish labor and fit­tings. However, in subsequent negotiations with the subdivider, it was decided to let his install the mains and he awarded the contract to the Nevada Construction Company to cover labor and fittings. We therefore turned the fittings over to the Construction Company and received their check for #658.77 15 in payment October th. When work was started on the second unit, we fur­nished the Construction Company necessary tess and valves and received their check for $309.34 in payment November 10th. The first bunch of fittings was bandied direct by Contractor from freight oar to the job, so we billed at costj however, the tees and valves last referred to were handled through our material yard so we charged them at cost, plus 10%. The pipe was furnished by tins subdivider. A. K. Folger
