Hope Cemetery Association granting the University a passage way through its grounds and the further privilege of driving through the center of its grounds to the farm on the south, we ask if an arrangement could not be made by which we could get water from your water system. "We would not want a great quantity of water and only for about four months in the year. We would not use a hose and only draw from hydrant and carry for the purpose of watering plants and flowers. We would not expect you to enter into a contract for a number of years, but one which could be cancelled at any time. "We understand that you have pipes laid to the road across from our grounds. "We think within a few years the city system will extend near enough so we can use from that source.
