Water Supply - Sales and Revenue: las Vegas * December 10, 1936. W 23-3-5 Mr* <J. F. Ashby, Assistant to Executive Dos Angeles, California .Vice President, My dear Mr. Ashby: Referring to our conversation last evening with reference to water sales made by the las Vegas land n*»<i Water Company during the current year: I attach hereto a comparative statement of water sales for the first eleven months of 1935 and. the corres­ponding months of 1936, these figures being taken from the Auditor’s Form 7 so far as available. Please note there has been a decrease of #1153.08 in revenue, and 4,935,127 cubic feet of water sold, during this period. Effective November 1, 1935, we discontinued wholesaling water to the Boulder Dam Syndicate. The Synd­icate formerly purchased water from us "on a wholesale basis for the purpose of supplying the addition south of Charleston Boulevard in the town of Das Vegas, and last November (1935) they installed their own well and discon­tinued securing water from us. There is also attached a statement showing monthly revenues received from the Syndicate during 1935 up until the time sales were dis­continued. Daring the first ten months of 1936, the decrease from this source alone was #1450.35, which more than accounts for the decrease in our total revenues over this period. Our retail sales for the year a e about the same as last year,— in fact they show an increase of |B46*25 for the first ten months.
