Mr. Jeffers; #3. September 8, 1939 cost of tiie mains, a portion of which will be refunded to hi® over a fire year period, this will prevent any further attempts by owners of acreage on the outskirts of the city to increase the value of their lands at the expense of the later Company. Of course, under such circumstances we would still be required to furnish the water servioe after the mains were installed, and the main purpose of my letter July 21st was to indicate a need for developing additional sources of water so that they would be available if the town continues to grow. | appreciate receiving copy of your letter August 13th, file 353~3*L to Mr. Reinhardt and his letter August 33 to you regard* lag the water situation at Las Vegas. Mr. Greens is now on atnhde fgurtouurned mnaeekdisn*g a survey and analysis of our present facilities the Commissions report, in addition to recommending the development of additional sources of water by our Company, also criticises the inadequate water mains in the South Addition, these are 4~inch wooden mains which we acquired from the original owners ten years ago when we acquired the franchise and pipe* lines in Hawkins South Addition, and as a matter of fact are inadequate to supply that district with the development that has taken place since that time. We have in mind the replace* ment of these mains with cast iron of large diameter in our program of pipeline renewals in the City of Lae Vegas and after we have completed renewals in Clark's Las Vegas Townaite where they are moat needed at the present time* proper requests for authority to cover necessary expenditures will be submitted for your approval, possibly during the forepart of the oomlng year * Very truly yours, ..
