ffiaroh 39, 1940, 1 19-4 Mr* 4. W. Pallas, Office, O m a h a , N e b r a s k a . Bear Mr. Ballast We are lit seed of two new desks here In the office to replace two which have been In service a good many yea rs, and I an writing you with the thought In mind that you may know of soma that are stored in Omaha, possibly shipped in from other potato on the System. The two wo now have in the offloe were taken from the original office of the Water Company in 190S, and have lour? since outlived their useful­ness. V The typewriter desk particular.y is badly scarred on the top surface and in very loose at the joints, making•it difficult to operate the typewriter. The other is a flat top office desk, and also shows considerable signs of wear. Both of them are a brown mahogany color, clashing with the light colored sur­roundings of the office * Wt.would like to secure, first, a light oak colored typewriter'desk, the usual 30 inches high and with a top surface about BO by 33 inches, with a solid desk surface, with a spring drop m left-hand side for the typewriter to fit into the left-hand panel where ordinary desks have a row of drawers, sldLl&r to those I have seen in various trainmaster*s offices, The other one we would like to have also in light oak color, 30 inches high, 33 inches wide and either 56 or 60 inches long, with a res- of drawers on left and right hand aides, so that we oar. enclose a map of our city 'water mains under a glass on the surface. If there is available a swivel office ohalr to match, it would also be very much appreciated*
