' ;; ' ;-wp V f •' '> lid-S Vegas - February 13, 1945 F S - LA: Our phone conversation re BRIO 3043. I am convinced beyond any doubt that we must have additional water for coming summer* While It is true BMI Is closed our services increased over 300 in 1944 and there are no I; iT f ’ •2C* vacancies in rental houses here. In fact Chamber of Commerce has requests priorities on 300 additional homes to be privately constructed to overoome present acute housing shortage. You are aware of how dangerously we approa the maximum production capacity last August with 10 million per day used in city plus 1 million to RR With no assistance from well or RR yard whioh played out in summer months. On top of normal increases we are taking over nearly 300 new users in Boulder Addition .and Park Place. On basis of performances in past years we will require at least 13 million gallons per day in Aunist whioh we do not have available with wells 5 and 6 sand-ing up at wrong time. If it is going to require 3 months delivery^on pipe for new well, believe it essential we adopt some means Increase production as all houses in^Huntridge now occupied with new lawns planted and heavy demand for water will start in-March, increasing throughout' summer.
