Las Vegas * May 6, 195A W 18-6-2 Mr. L. V* Peart - Omaha Mr« George Wade, D irector o f Public Works fo r the Qxty o f Las Vegas, has been requested by the City Board o f Commissioners to furnish a report on the operation o f the Las Vegas Land and Water Company, and has requested me to furnish him with a copy of the 1953 Annual Report of the Las Vegas Land and Water Company. although I have heard rumors from time to time that there is* a p o s s ib ility that the City may enter into some sort o f agree­ment with the Water D istrict a fte r the sale takes place, whereby they would purchase water from the D istrict at whole­sale p rices and then operate that portion o f the D is t r ic t s water system which might l i e within the City Limits. While X personally do not think there is any substantial basis fo r such a rumor, s t i l l , since Mr. Wade has requested that we furnish him a copy o f the 1953 Annual Report I would lik e you to advise me whether i t w ill be perm issible to furnish i t to him in the event you have an extra copy available fo r that purpose. I am not sure Just exactly what the City has in mind in having Mr. Wade submit? & report on our operations and have been unable to ascertain Just what they do have in mind. Please advise* LRMseJp 1/j
