Bell) who constructed the Blltmore Hoses, Victory Hoses, and El Encanto Apartments on the acreage we sold Clark, Cahlan, and Grant are again active in construction of turned veterans. individual homes for re­They have approximately 32 applications several of which have already been authorised and intend to build on the Lots in Blocks 2 and 3 of Blitmore Annex 02, which is Just East of the El Bncanto Apartments. Thgr proposed to extend individual service mains fro® the 6“ main serving the Apartments across Kncsnto Drive as each house is constructed. However we directed their atten­tion to the fact that this would result in a waste of critical material and labor (besides resulting in a very unsatisfactory water system for us to operate) and suggested the main be ex­tended through the easement in Block 3 as shown in enclosed sketch. I explained to them that Rule 9-C was no longer in effect and that the extension would have to be made under Rble 9-A which provides that they advance the full cost, refunds to be made on the 50$ basis of revenues over a period of 10 years. This Is agreeable to them. I estimated the cost at 12,900.00. Question arises as to whether we are authorised to make this extension under WPS Utilities Order U-l or whether a special ap >11 cation should be made to cover, 'fill be glad to have you discuss this with Ur, Keeble. In the event such application is required we have prepared and enclose herewith WPB For® 2774 making reference to the builder* s priority under H-3 and will thank you to execute it and forward to War Production Board Room 1040 1031 South Broadway Los Angeles, 15, California. In the event that special application is not neaensary will you kindly forward to them enclosed letter fro® Biltmore Homes, Inc., together with Plat outlining pro­posed construction. cc: Mr. E. R.
