Subject: Plater Service. Arthur J. Davis, Lt.-Colonel, 6;.L:. Corps, quartermaster, Fort Lewis, Washington. �Nppl Dear Sir: - Your letter of July 15th, addressed to the Mayor, City of Port Townsend, rela- tive to a water supply for the Civilian Conservation Corns camp at Quilcene, was duly pre- sented to the City Council, and because of the tedious .,procedure involved, the writer was i insbructed to write and acquaint you with the situation. The entire (eater supply system outside of the city limits is under a long term lease to .the National Paper Products Company, and contains, in part, the following stipu- lations: 1. The National Paper Products Company shall have full charge of the operation and maintenance of the system outside of the city limits and neither the company nor the city may tap the line for a new service outside of said city limits. 2. However, the Company has indicated in the past that for a temporary water supply for a public project (where no other source of supply is a vailable, they would consent to a connection upon condition that the city binds itself to fully indemnify the Company for any loss that might accrue by reason of such diversion of water and they reserve the right to discontinue the service at any time, if in their judgment, this extra service should in any affect the even operation of their plant. 3. The Company reserves the right to make the co neetion, to disconnect same when service is discontinued and to be reimbursed for any expense incurred. The Company con- siders that all these precautions are necessary, i believe, to safeguard and protect the validity of their lease and the continuous operation of their pinnt. In view, of the time required to execute the said agreements, the City Council is of the opinion that you will prefer to immediately develop some other source of water supply for this camp, and await your further word in the matter. Respectfully, C. F. Christian, City Clerk. Said report was ordered filed. Application for Emergency Construction Funds.
