Mr. W.G . Phil lips, Gan,Sup*t of lee Plants., Pae,Fruit Express Go., San Francisco, Galif. Bear Sirs You undoubtedly know through your Lanager here at Las Vegas that we have been having considerable trouble with our water pressure of late. This 1b caused by the pipe lines and a possible decrease in our water supply. In this connection X am pleased to advise you that the Salt Lake Railroad Co. 'in following out my. suggestion, are digging a well over in the shop yards which will,when completed, undoubtedly furnish us with at least one hundred inches of artesian water. I would like to suggest that if it is possible to see your way clear to do so for the protection of both our interests here at Las Vegas, you also drill a well over in the ice plant yards which would always assure you of the elimination of any water troubled in the future. If this suggestion meets with your approval, I can give you more data in the matter as to the coat of the well etc. We are putting down a ten inch well to the depth of 70Q ft. This will be completed with ten inch screw casing. Yours very truly, Las V egas, Nevada J u ly 10,1920
