Page 2 Mr. A. M. Folger Las Vegas Land and Water Co., May 25, 1950 There are other reasons but the above-mentioned appear to me as sufficient on which to request chlorination of the entire system at all times. As you know, fecally contaminated water is the most dangerous means of spreading the common intestinal diseases. Las Vegas is a well known tourist city and in my estimation it would be calam-atous to have a water-borne outbreak with the resultant publicity. Regardless of that part, the citizens of Las Vegas should have a safe culinary water supply at all times. Will you give me a written statement concerning the above? Sincerely yours, /s// D. D. Carr, M. D. Health Officer DDC: t c/c: City Engineer State Engineer City Manager
