Form 5527 C .S . Mail am Envelope T e enclosed in MAILGRAM To Save Telegraphing— Use this blank for al I messages sent late in the day where immediate answer is not required and for messages to stations that may be quickly reached by train. -______ _ Las Vegas, 2/21/28 ;>*269• On February 9, 1928, Engineer McKee measured 7,12 cubic feet a second as "available for domestic and operating purposes” from the artesian well, the Big Spring and the little Spring* This flows into a 24-inch rosin serving the Kailroad and the Water Company’s -distributing system, but it is impossible to say at present how much is used by either separately. Assuming that the Water Company uses half the flow, it consumes 5*56 cubic feet per second or 112,268,160 cubic feet per annua, last year’s figures were obtained after much delving into the files, and requesting information from other sources. We can not now verify the amount of 3,155,600 cu,ft* reported in the telegram dated March 1,‘1927, as 2*3 c*f*s* when reduced to ccmi>are with the 1927 consumption becomes 72,532,800 cubic feet The increase is due to a diversion during the past year of part of the flow that formerly went to las ftgfis Kanch* W-35-1, Walter n .
