Pipe, beoause I am reoeivlng requests for possible line extensions every other week. If you concur, please pass the attached requisi­tion to Mr. Keeble with the request that he advise the pipe company this is not a new order, but merely an extension of our previous order, 52-10-2, on which we expect to receive 6000* of 6* pipe in June, instead of twelve months from now. By merely adding to the previous order instead of placing a new one, we can save almost a years time in delay. A. M. Folger
