Dear Mrs. Newton:
DS: jm
Sincerely,
March 10, 1948
We have contacted the State Health Department regarding your oroblem
of deterioration in your water pipes°:nd Mr. Stockman will get in
touch with you shortly. As you probably know, the State Health Depart-
ment has to approve construction work on your water system anyway.
Seattle has had the same problem and due to the acid content of the
water which is the same as yours, steel pipe is unsatisfactory and
only cast iron or transite type will stand up.
In our conversation I neglected to mention that State Develop qent
Funds are not supposed to be used in self liquidation projects which
your water system would be. However, there is still a chance of
approval of such use if the State Finance Committee is convinced of
the necessity of such fund diversion.
I hope to send you some sample telephone franchise ordinances with-
in a day or two.
