Mr* fnicfcer booker: #3 June 15. 1935 milling d is tr ic t is being actively pa shod, nd a mining re ­vival in tills vicinity wold materially increase the popu­lation of la s Terns* P ractically a ll of the m for oil companies have Installed large service stations m the main stre e t of the tows* i s anticipation of a healthy tour le t trade, and automobile courts.m & bungalows are s t i l l being added on Fifth Street* Our uater J o l l i t i e s are now being tasted to capacity during the summer months, and I believe we should keep pace with the growth of the town and be pre­pared to serve a larger coasanmWiStty& s&Inm the future. You w ill find herewith measurements of the water supply since June 6th , a t which time Me! Anderson checked our present sources o f supply and he can* 1 believe-, fur­nish -fairly accurate figures on the cost of boring an ad­ditional; well for which ^urk he is experienced and compe­tent as outlined in my le tte r of the 6th* In going over the water supply again this nonslng we find c enditions not as good as they were yesterday end the. day before, 'Shore has been no water flowing over the ap 111-way. o f the reservoir for three or four days, and the water level in the reservoir i s 11 inches below the sp ill­way discharge* The prospects for any improvement over this are not encouraging, c have not yet been able to convince the new Gity Commission that we must Imre a restrictin g or­dinance on sprinkling and waste of water, and i t would ap­pear that they are trying to make the situation look as alarming as possible, which w ill give them the chance of re ­porting to the B?A, in support of their request for a $200,- 000 loan, that we are unable to handle the situation here ourselves.
