Los Angeles, August 26, 1930. 353-24 Mr. W. R. Bracken: Referring to your letter August 22, file R-18, with which you enclosed letter of Mrs. J. A. Lyite, Overton, Nevada, requesting that she be furnished drink-ing water: We recently arranged to supply water for drinking purposes from our water car operating on the St. Thomas Branch, at a charge of $3.80 per thousand gallons, the amount of water to be secured at one time to be worked out between the conductor and the purchaser. The arrange-ment is being handled through the agent at Moapa to the extent possible, and I therefore suggest you write Mrs. Lyite asking her to take up with the agent at Moapa, or it may be that she can make satisfactory arrangement locally with the conductor. F. H. Knickerbocker
