Captain McCoy reports on the feasibility of carrying out the modified Reilly water contract in Cienfuegos, Cuba. Past experiences of Spain and the American Military Government have shown that the best way to carry out contracts in Cuba is to make the central government a party to the contract. Large-scale contracts have only been successful when they are carried out by the central government.
