Assistant Chief Engineer Las Vegas, Nevada October S i, 1924, In r e - Settling Tank ^t Hew Well. Mr. F. H. Knickerbocker General Manager, UP System Los Angeles, Cal. Dear Sirs | Acknowledging receipt o f your le tte r of October the 39th in reference to above subject. Might say that un til we had the deluge o f sand from the hew w e ll, i t was not an ticipated that a settlin g basin would be needed, but from that experience and fearing that same condition might occur again, I think both Dr, Boyle and Mr, Maguire are firm ly of the b e lie f that we should in stal se ttlin g basin in order to protect our pipe lin e s fro® deluge of sand. I would recommend that th is matter be included into the 1925 budget, together with the 24® lin e from settlin g basin to intake box at head o f 16* lin e . WHB/MKH cc- A. Maguire.
