o -E I Las Vegas Review Journal-June 28, 1950 N a Bonds, No Water, No City Miller Tells Town Meeting Local residents last night were urged to get “ solidly behind” a proposed bond issue to finance plans for bringing an additional water supply into southern Nevada by Harry E. Miller, member of the Las Vegas water valley district, speaking at the third meeting of Town Hall in Wildcat Lair. No bonds. No water. No city” , was Miller’s terse comment at conclusion of his remarks. Both Miller and City Manager Chet Shelley appeared at the meeting to. answer questions an-ent local water problems. . It was explained that Lake Mead water sources are sufficient to furnish this area with an estimated 100,000,000,000 gallons of water a year from 300,000 acre feet. However, a program, financed by the bond issue, will be necessary before Las Vegas or surrounding areas can tap the supply, Miller declared. Shelley warned that as the city grows fee water situation will become more and more acute. He Suggested that the present lawn watering ordinance, limiting sprinkling to certain hours a day, might be changed to watering on opposite sides of streets on alternate. days of the week. This, he added, would aid the pressure problem. X 1950
