And if the Water Company would apply fer a new welly would you grant them that application? A* We would. Q. And if they were t© make an application to use water from the Searlea well, would you grant that application? A. Of course, in answering that, let me say that we do net as a practice anticipate what we will or will net do in granting a permit, because you don’t knew what conditions may arise, but we hare granted permits as a matter ef necessity. Q, Jm mentioned that the wells @n the Strip used a rather snail amount. As a matter of fact, doesn't the last Frontier Hotel use 500,000 gallons a day? A. Possibly. Q. Do you consider that a small amount? A. It's net a large amount, ef course* It's large, in a maimer of speaking. Wow, the 11 Rancho, their top use is 120,000 gallons a day, and 1 don't think these wells have any particular influence or interference with the wells in the rest ef the town. Q« Except that they withdraw from the total supply* A* That's the general withdrawal* Q. They would increase the rate ef discharge * A. That's right. Q» In other words, that could eventually reach a point whore the supply would be entirely depleted by the wells being added out m the Strip even though they would net appreciably affect it at one time.
