Lac Vegas, Mev* May «, 1931 8 E3—8 Subject! * leer Water Schedule * Mr* f * B« He Jfsaee, Seagal Attorney for Sevada, Sot Angeles, Calif * My dear Me s f |uet had a talk with lee la reference to ear water schedule which will fee presented oa the 8th of May, and neither Connolly or tayeeXf concur with hie Idea of haring a public hear­ing called here in las Vegas* I think It would fee one of the moat damaging moves we could make* fe are treating the public and all patrons in the fairest manner po esifele fey giving the press a letter and copy of new schedule for publication; feat if public hearing were called here in las Vegas, it weald, la my opinion, stir up much more agitation than having the hear­ing, (it such is necessary) held in Carson City* Another thing is that the general records, of the las Vegas land and Water Company are kept in the Auditor*e office at low Angeles, and it weald mean a lot of trouble end expense to have them brought here and exposed to the soretiny of many busy-bodies, part of whom would not even fee paying water rest* | have expressed this idea to Leo and am sending him copy of this letter, as I want to fee wry plainly understood in the matter# Hoping and knowing that you can carry thie thing through to a successful ending without a public hearing, ae I have talked with both Editors of our papers, and we will get favorable comment from them, and I do not anticipate that there will fee any marked objections after m have- published a letter and cur new schedule of rates# Tours very truly, CC - P.H*Knick«srfeoeker, lee A* leMnmee, "',,MdtiHranr. motif.
