    Safeway S tores, In c, 1925 la s t Vernon Avenue P, Q, Sox 3399 - ferialn al Annex Los Angeles 5b , C a lifo rn ia A ttentions Mr, M, B. H o llln g er lie t a l l (Operations Manager September 11, X952 Dear sirs R e fe rrin g to your l e t t e r o f August 21, 1952 concerning charge f o r water fo r co o lin g r e fr ig e r a t io n equipment. At the time the base ra te f o r co o lin g water fo r r e fr ig e r a t io n machines was determined, con sideration was given to the fa c t that such equipment would be equipped w ith r e c ir c u la tin g system as requ ired by C ity Ordinance.

However, a recent survey-developed that the r e fr ig e r a tio n equipment li s t e d in our l e t t e r o f August 6, 1952 was in use although we had not p reviou sly charged you fo r such s e rv ic e as prescribed by our rat® schedule, a copy o f which is attached.
