WATER CONTRACT RAILROAD INDUSTRIES - Las Vegas Los Angeles, California. April 20, 1929. Mr. F. H. Knickerbocker: Answering your mailgrara of April 19th, with copy of letter from Mr. Jeffers dated April 15th: The changes suggested, in my opinion, should be made, with the following exceptions: This form of contract should not contain any provision providing that the Railroad Company should not be deemed a public utility, or subject to the jurisdiction of the Public Utilities Commission, for in cases of this kind where the Company gives service of water from any excess it may have to individuals, the Railroad simply files a copy of the contract with the Public Service Commission, as provided in Section 37 of the Public Service Act of Nevada, and if the Public Service Commission approves the contract it makes an order to this effect, which protects the Company. It is otherwise where the Company furnishes water to a public utility for distribution by it. Again, if the schedule on page 2 of fixed rate of $15.00, pipe line and installation, is changed to a unit price per foot, the total service charge cannot be computed, and we would have to eliminate this altogether. FRM:BG Cc to Mr. A. S. Halsted Mr. Frank Strong.
